How it works

How the network actually works.

One matching engine, run in both directions - advertisers reach qualified audiences, publishers get paid on real performance. Here is the mechanism behind both.

The mechanics

Two sides, one matching engine.

Advertisers and publishers each go through their own four steps - matched against each other by the same engine, in real time.

For advertisers

A performance marketing lead mapping out a campaign in three stages on a glass planning wall.
  1. Define your buyer and your bar

    Give us the target profile plus the qualifying criteria that decide what counts as a lead.

  2. Matched to vetted publisher inventory for your offer

    Consumer brands, newsletters, or sampling programs - publisher relationships built over two decades.

  3. Leads are validated before they bill

    Every lead is checked against your criteria before it counts toward billing, so you only pay for the ones that clear the bar.

  4. Reporting traces every lead back to its placement

    The data you get is the same data we use internally - nothing to reconcile after the fact.

For publishers

  1. Tell us your traffic and your open inventory

    Give us the audience you have built and where your open inventory sits.

  2. Matched against vetted, non-competing advertiser demand

    Offers go up only when they fit what your readers actually respond to.

  3. Offers go live in your existing flow

    Turnkey integration - one code snippet, no dev lift required.

  4. You get paid

    Payouts track what your readers actually did, not raw impressions.
