Advertising

Ads people can trust

Advertising on WEB 1984 works differently: every placement is contextual, not behavioral. Your ad is matched to the search query — never to a personal profile, because we don't build personal profiles. Users see a gold "Sponsored" label on every paid placement, so the line between ads and organic results is never blurry.

What we offer

• Sponsored search results — appear above organic results for the keywords you bid on, always labeled.
• Sponsored panels — elevated placement for verified business and public-figure panels.
• Top story placements — your announcement featured in the homepage news feed.

Why advertisers like it

• Intent, not surveillance. Someone searching "plumber near me" is ready to hire — no tracking required.
• Brand safety by design. Your ad never appears next to content it shouldn't, because placements are keyword-matched.
• Transparent pricing. One wallet, one ledger. Every cent of ad spend is itemized — no black-box fees.

Ground rules

• Ads must be truthful. Misleading claims get removed; repeat offenders get banned.
• No targeting by personal attributes — we don't have that data and we won't collect it for you.
• No disguising ads as organic content. The gold label is non-negotiable.
