Early access — the network is forming

New readers for your site

Your articles appear on other sites — the ones your readers already read. In return you show theirs. No money involved.

Free to join. Before you start, we check that the site is really yours.

There it is. Other people’s articles on your page — and yours on theirs.

Readers who do not come from search

Search answers the reader on the results page more and more often, and fewer people reach the sites themselves. Large publishers have a newsletter and an app. A small site has nothing. This is the second source.

Readers from sites like yours

Your pages appear on sites about the same things and in the same language — where the reader already knows what it is about.

Nothing to pay

Not to join, not later. You pay with space on your own page, and only for an impression someone really saw.

You can see what happens

Your dashboard shows every impression, every click and every credit: where it came from and where it went.

The network as it is right now

Not a mock-up. These numbers come from the database, and the cards below are real — the ones members show on each other’s sites.

Four steps, about five minutes

There is nothing to configure. You paste the snippet and the block starts working.

Add your site

Register, then confirm the site is yours. One file, or one line in your domain settings.

Place a block

Choose where it goes and copy the snippet. For WordPress there is a plugin, so you never touch the code.

Collect credits

Every impression a reader actually saw earns credits, up to a daily limit per site. Once your site has shown its first blocks to real readers, it also gets a welcome bonus.

Get shown elsewhere

Say which page you want to promote, and it starts appearing on the other sites in the network.

No money. A real audience instead

An impression is priced in credits, not in money. How many yours earns depends on how alive your audience is.

One impression in credits
To you, for showing it +0.51
To the network, for running it +0.09
From whoever was shown −0.60
Balance 0.00

It always comes to zero. Credits are never made out of thin air: what leaves one account arrives in another.

  • Joining and trading are freeCredits are earned by showing others, not bought. Later you will be able to buy extra reach if you want it, but the exchange itself stays free.
  • An honest site earns moreAn impression in front of real readers is worth more than one on an empty page. That is why there is no flat rate: with one, the best move would be to hide the block where nobody sees it.
  • A new site is not punishedWhile there are few impressions, the score stays near the middle and moves only as data accumulates. Three lucky clicks decide nothing.

What the score is made of

All four are measured from what readers do on someone else's site. What a browser reports is checked against our server's own timing and limits, so a score cannot simply be claimed — and attempts are recorded.

Cards, not banners

By default these are recommendation cards: a headline, a picture and the name of the site the material came from. They look like part of the page, not like something pasted into it.

"Read next" cards

One, three or five. Each names the site the material comes from, so the reader knows where they are going.

Ordinary banners

The familiar sizes, for sites that already have a slot for them: 300×250, 728×90, 160×600, 320×50.

As many blocks as you like

Put as many on a page as you need. The code loads once and asks for every block together, so the page is not slowed down.

What will show up on your site

You give up space on your page without knowing in advance what will go into it. That is the uncomfortable part of trading, and here is what is done about it.

Every card is checked before its first impression
The headline, the picture, the link and the page it leads to — together. A card about an article that leads to trade in forbidden goods is refused, however decent the card itself looks.
Never gets through
Pornography · calls to violence and extremism · trade in drugs, weapons, people · fraud and easy money · pyramid schemes · malware · abuse based on nationality, religion or sex
A doubt is settled by a person
When the check is unsure — the headline does not match the picture, the promise looks overblown — the card waits for a living decision instead of being refused just in case.
Approval does not last forever
Cards are rechecked after approval too. What sits behind the link changes while the card stays the same, and that is exactly what anyone hoping to slip past the check is counting on.
The last word is yours
Blocks are matched to your site by topic and language, and if something still does not suit your readers, report it and a moderator will review the card.

Only real impressions count

The exchange works as long as both sides are sure the count is honest. This is what that certainty rests on.

An impression cannot be claimed

It counts only against a single-use key the server issued for that exact spot moments earlier.

Seen means seen

The block has to reach the visible part of the screen and stay there on an open tab. One hidden in the footer earns nothing.

You cannot pay yourself

Every trade leaves a fee with the network. Show yourself through a second account and you lose that fee on every impression: a ring of your own domains burns credits instead of minting them. Promoting your own sites to each other needs none of it — those impressions are free.

The books are checked daily

Earnings, charges and the fee are reconciled automatically. A gap of even one hundredth of a credit is reason enough to stop and look.

What we know about your readers

Exactly as much as it takes to tell a real impression from a faked one. Here is the full inventory.

What we keep In what form
The reader’s addressNot the address itself but a fingerprint of it, made with a secret key that never leaves our server. Enough to tell two impressions apart; without the key, not enough to tell who came from where.
The browser stringA fingerprint made with the same key. Without it the string cannot be recovered — which is also why we cannot tell you which devices your readers use.
How many seconds the block was in viewAnd how much of the screen it filled. That is the impression the credits are paid for.
What happens after a clickWhether the reader reached the site, how long they stayed and, if that site also runs our block, whether they read on. That is how a real click is told from an empty one; no address is attached.

Nothing else. There are no reader profiles, no data is sold or handed to anyone, and there are no other people’s trackers in the block. We have no use for more: this network trades impressions for impressions, not attention for money.

What people usually ask

Is it really free?

Yes. Joining and trading cost nothing. You give space on your site and receive space on other people's — no money takes part in that exchange.

My site is small. Will you take it?

Yes, there is no threshold. A small site earns less, but it earns. The welcome bonus comes once the site has shown its first blocks to real readers — a few days for most sites.

Will my site get slower?

No. The code loads after your own content and does not hold the page up. Room for the block is set aside in advance, so the page does not jump.

Can I decide what appears on my site?

Yes. Blocks are matched to your topic first, and every card is checked before it is ever shown. If a card still does not suit your readers, tell us and a moderator will review it.

What do you collect about my readers?

Only what is needed to tell a real impression from an inflated one: fingerprints of the address and of the browser string made with a secret key, how many seconds the block was visible and, after a click, how long the reader stayed. No profiles, no tracking, no passing data to anyone else. The details are in the privacy policy.

Why does my site's score matter so much?

The score is the price of your impression — both when you show and when you are shown. It comes from what readers do on other people’s sites, and every part of it is visible in your dashboard: a low score always has a reason you can see.

Who pays when my block shows a card in another language?

The advertiser does not pay for it. When there are not enough cards in the language of your page, the block shows one in another language rather than stay empty. A reader cannot read such a card, so its owner is not charged — the network pays your site from its own account instead, within a daily limit, and the impression does not count against your score. English is not treated as a foreign language: an English card is charged as usual and comes after cards in your page’s language.

Who we are not for

Better said now than found out in a week.

Read before joining
  • A site nobody visitsA trade is a trade: you get as many impressions as you give. A site like that will not even earn the welcome bonus: it comes only after real readers have seen its blocks.
  • A block hidden in the footerA block the reader never scrolled to is not an impression and earns nothing. We see that in the figures and say so plainly in your dashboard, but only you can move the block somewhere visible.
  • Anyone who needs volume by a deadlineThe network is small and grows slowly, and how many impressions there will be tomorrow depends on how many the other members give. We cannot guarantee reach by a date and will not promise it.

The network is still coming together

We are building it in the open, with a small group of independent sites. Join now and you help shape what it grows into.
