That's an interesting form of guerrilla advertising. Find a project with decent website traffic that displays sponsors, and commit just enough to be displayed in the list of top contributors (which includes some delicious SEO-friendly backlinking juice too). $750/mo and it's already getting the companies mentioned in the currently-top comment of a thread on the front page of HN!

I'm not sure there's a lot of SEO-friendly back linking juice. They're marked as rel="nofollow sponsored"

I'm a core developer of Crystal.
We've been wondering about why it's worth the money for these sponsors. The links ideally shouldn't have much effect because they're marked as `sponsored`. Anybody got any ideas?
Either way, it's money that helps the project so we're fine with accepting it.
