01The gap
The independent web is already an ad network. It just isn’t connected.

Great products need distribution. Great sites deserve sponsors.

Today, both sides lose time on tiny negotiations—or hand the relationship to a black box. SponsorCircuit gives builders one transparent place to find each other.

ADVERTISERS / 01

Stop buying the whole internet.

Place your product only on builder-owned sites you would be proud to appear on.

THE CIRCUIT / 02

Turn 50 small deals into one campaign.

One balance, one workflow, and a clear CPC offer across your selected publishers.

PUBLISHERS / 03

Your traffic can be small and valuable.

Approve relevant products, protect your audience, and keep most of every paid click.

02How it works

Two sides. One honest workflow.

The advertiser chooses.
The publisher decides.

No mystery placements and no open exchange. Every relationship starts with intentional selection and human approval.

03Fair economics

Transparent by default

Every dollar has an address.

No hidden auction spread. The same split, visible to both sides.

To the publisher $0.75 75%
To SponsorCircuit $0.25 25%

Example shown at a $1.00 CPC offer. Advertisers set the offer; the split stays the same.

04Launch safeguards

Start curated. Earn automation.

Fraud is harder when nobody is anonymous.

The first version stays deliberately human. Advertisers select each property, publishers approve each sponsor, and new inventory enters through review.

01

Publisher verification

Confirm site ownership before a property can receive campaigns.

02

Explicit campaign approval

No automatic placement. Both sides know exactly who they are working with.

03

Click validation

Filter obvious repeats, bots, and abnormal patterns before clicks become payable.

04

Measured payouts

Use a review window and sensible campaign caps while the network earns trust.

05The publisher web

Small sites. Serious distribution.

If builders trust it,
it belongs in the circuit.

You do not need millions of pageviews to deserve a good sponsor.

07Questions

The short version

Frequently asked.

What is SponsorCircuit?+

A curated sponsorship network connecting products with independent builder-owned sites. Advertisers select the properties, set a CPC offer, and publishers approve the fit.

Who can become a publisher?+

Launchpads, directories, tools, newsletters, blogs, communities, and other useful independent properties with a real builder audience can apply.

Who decides where an ad appears?+

The advertiser chooses every publisher on the campaign. Each publisher then reviews the sponsor and offer before accepting.

How does pricing work?+

For the first version, advertisers set their CPC offer. When a publisher accepts and sends a validated click, 75% goes to the publisher and 25% to SponsorCircuit.

How will SponsorCircuit handle click fraud?+

The launch model combines property verification, explicit approvals, click validation, sensible campaign caps, and a payout review window. Safeguards will evolve transparently with real network data.

When does the network launch?+

We’re assembling the first group now. Waitlist members will help shape the initial inventory, offers, and launch rules before broader access.

Plain-language privacy
