Advantages for Advertisers

• We have unique bot protection.
• AdBlock will not work because ads come from the same domain as the rest of the site.
• Supporting charity.
• We are a nonprofit, so we have very low CPM.

The only ad network I can find that respects the users is a-ads, and they will not bring in enough to support the site. It’s necessary to bring in something else. Our own ad network.

• Use slots, e.g., there are 10 slots for each position.
• Rotate slots randomly or in order.
• Advertisers are sponsors; their payment goes directly to recipients, just like donations do.
• Priced per day, or even streaming, 1 sat at a time.
• No complicated bidding; prices are fair just to cover the cost of payouts.
• Advertisers are members given the role of sponsor
• Create a Sponsors page where they can fill in text and attach images.
• Maybe make a sponsors page for all their ads, where they can post messages too.

Price

• At first, 5 slots. Instead of increasing the price, maybe add another 5 slots as site traffic increases, adding a sidebar ad to allow more advertisers.
• The first advertiser gets all 5 slots until others take them up.
• If someone pays for 5 slots, they get all slots in that position.
• That allows people to have really cheap ads if they want; just get one slot.
