Questions we get asked

Advertisers

What is the smallest campaign I can run?
Start with what fits your budget. We suggest a first campaign, then help you grow what works.
Can I choose which sites and tools my ads appear on?
Yes. Every placement is a named site or tool, and you can include or exclude each one.
How is this different from advertising on daily.dev?
daily.dev is part of the network. It built distribution.dev with DEV and is one of our launch publishers, so one campaign with us can include daily.dev alongside independent developer sites, newsletters and AI placements. You can also buy daily.dev directly.
Do you use cookies or tracking pixels?
Ads are matched to the content, not to personal profiles. You can add our conversion pixel, or your own tracking, on your own site.
What reporting do I get?
A live dashboard with impressions, matched clicks and spend for every site and tool, plus CSV downloads and scheduled report emails.
How is a campaign priced?
Per 1,000 impressions, by surface and country. You get the price in writing before you commit.
How am I invoiced?
Monthly, for what ran. Agencies can get one invoice per client, or one for the agency.
Can I include newsletters?
Yes. Add newsletter sponsorships to your plan when you want them, alongside sites, docs and AI placements.
Can I advertise in AI chats and coding agents?
Yes, in early access. Labeled placements appear after the answer or the finished task, never inside it. Ask to add them to your plan.

Publishers

How much will I earn?
It depends on your traffic's countries and topics. Try the earnings estimator.
What share do I keep?
70% of what advertisers pay for the ads on your site.
How and when do I get paid?
Every month, for what the month earned. Your dashboard shows the gross, our share and your earnings for every campaign.
How long does approval take?
A person reviews every application and replies with a reason, either way.
Who sees my traffic and earnings?
You see them in your dashboard. distribution.dev is run by daily.dev, so its ad platform processes them, and we use them only to serve, measure, report and pay for the ads on your site. We never sell them.
