Liberads beta: a fairer advertising marketplace for independent websites. No behavioural profiling · No ad JavaScript · Human approval

Advertising for the independent web

Reach people without watching them.

Liberads connects advertisers with independent websites through clear pricing, simple image ads and owner approval. No behavioural profiles, no opaque auctions, no third-party ad scripts.

Transparent prices Owner-approved ads Privacy-respecting Works on the old and modern web

Two sides. One clear marketplace.

Advertisers see exactly where an ad will appear and what it costs before paying. Website owners keep full editorial control over what runs on their pages.

For advertisers

Promote where it makes sense

Promote a project, product or community directly on sites whose audience already fits.

  • See before you pay: the website, placement, price and content policy up front.
  • Simple creatives: upload an image and an optional destination link.
  • Prepaid balance: £1 added equals £1 to spend. Funds only commit when a placement is approved.
  • No auctions: no behavioural targeting or hidden bidding.

  • Lightweight embed: a simple snippet with no ad JavaScript.
  • Clear payouts: a stated revenue share, paid via Stripe or PayPal.

Built around restraint, not extraction.

Four operating principles, stated plainly. The same rules apply to advertisers, website owners and Liberads itself.

01

Private by design

No behavioural profiling or cross-site tracking. Placements may use clearly disclosed aggregate click counting where a site enables it, and nothing more.

02

Human control

Website owners decide what belongs on their pages. Rules are visible before an advertiser submits anything.

03

Plain economics

Placement, duration, price and revenue share in understandable language. No auction theatre.

04

Lightweight delivery

Simple images and links that work on modern sites, personal pages and older browsers alike.

Simple, transparent process.

Three steps from browsing to a live placement. The same flow whether you spend £5 or £500.

1

Browse & choose

Explore public listings by website, subject, format, price and content policy. No account needed to look.

2

Submit your ad

Upload the image, add an optional link and pick a duration. Your balance is held, not charged yet.

3

Approved & live

The website owner or Liberads reviews it. Approved ads join the spot's rotation for the agreed period; rejected submissions return the held balance.

Community placements

Let your audience fund your site.

Spotlight lets a site's own community pay for friendly, temporary placements: supporter banners, community notices, in-jokes, stream overlays, anything the owner approves. Advertising as a way to support the sites you value.

Advertising for the parts of the web worth keeping.

Browse before joining, understand the rules before paying, and keep control over what appears on your own site.
