Why
Online advertising has become a very big business, resulting in websites cluttered with countless advertisements all attempting to draw your focus. Unfortunately, this often makes browsing websites a frustrating experience, distracting your attention away from why you visited the website in the first place, and forcing the installation of ad blocking software in your web browser.
At Ad Bard, we believe that advertisements can be an effective way for FOSS oriented websites to generate regular income while remaining useful, relevant, and non-obnoxious.
What
The Ad Bard Network aims to foster a friendly and useful advertising community for FOSS oriented websites and advertisers. As a fellow Ad Bard, you will help to ensure that the advertisements in our network remain useful, relevant, and non-obnoxious. Ad Bard members earn 80% of the price-per-click each time an advertisement is clicked on your website.
Our advertising community is entirely built with free and open source software, with all involved algorithms and schemas freely available for public scrutiny.
Who
The Ad Bard Network is underwritten by Tag1 Consulting, however its success is fully dependent upon community participation. Click here for a list of all websites currently participating in our growing network.
