Ads for the independent web

Your site has one empty slot.
Fill it in one click.

No signup, no form. Paste the tag, verify your domain, then pick which advertisers get to hang on your wall.

Using an agent? One POST does it

your site slot open
Your ad tag waiting for your click
<script async src="https://placard.blrbdigital.com/ad.js" data-placard="pub_·······"></script>

Paste it where the ad should hang. Nothing runs until you verify and allow an advertiser.

Or let your agent do it
curl -X POST https://placard.blrbdigital.com/api/v1/links -d '{"domain":"yourblog.dev"}'

Animated walkthrough: click Get my ad link, copy the tag, paste it into your site, verify your domain, switch on the advertisers you like, and your slot starts earning.

How it works

Three steps. The first one is a button.

No account forms, no network approval queue for publishers. Your wall, your rules.

  1. 1

    Click

    Hit "Get my ad link" and your tag is ready on the spot. Paste it where you want your placard to hang.

  2. 2

    Verify your domain

    Leave the tag on your homepage and press Verify. Prefer DNS? A TXT record or a meta tag works too.

For agents

Your agent gets the same one click.

One POST, no auth. It returns the tag, an API key for the slot, the verification options and a claim link for the human owner.

For advertisers

Hang your sign on sites people actually read.

List a campaign once. Independent publishers who like it opt in, and ads only run on domains they have verified, so every placement is a site that chose you.

  • One placard per page, never buried in a stack of ads
  • Set your CPM and budget, pause any time
  • Pay only for views on verified domains

Questions

Good questions, short answers.

Is it really one click?

Yes. The button creates your slot and hands you the tag, with no signup. Verifying your domain and choosing advertisers come after. Save your account with Google or email whenever you like so you never lose the link.

What shows up before I allow anyone?

A quiet "this spot is open" card that only you will care about. No advertiser ever appears on your site without your yes.

How do I get paid?

You keep 70% of what advertisers pay for views on your verified domain. Earnings show in your dashboard as they happen, and payouts go out monthly.

Does the tag track my readers?

No cookies and no cross-site profiles. We count impressions and clicks per slot, and that is all advertisers see.

There is a space on your wall.

One click and it is ready for the right sign.
