How users see ads
Ads are displayed natively inside extension or website interfaces:
Native ads instead of aggressive banners
Ads in ExtAds appear as part of the extension or website interface:
- do not pop up over the page
- do not interfere with user workflow
- naturally complement the extension functionality
That’s why these recommendations are perceived as useful tools rather than aggressive ads. All placements also comply with Chrome Web Store policies.
Advantages of the ExtAds network
New advertising channel
Most ad networks focus on websites, social media, and video. Advertising inside browser extensions is still a relatively untapped channel with low competition.
Native and relevant ads
Ads are shown to users already actively using browser tools, making recommendations feel natural and engaging.
Frequent user touchpoints
Many extensions are opened daily or even multiple times a day, allowing consistent exposure to your product.
Low advertising costs
Since the channel is not saturated, CPM remains significantly lower than most networks. Average CPM is around $0.2 — $0.5 per 1000 impressions.
Full campaign analytics
ExtAds tracks the entire user journey in the funnel:
→ Impression
→ Click
→ Install
All data is available in real time through clear reports, allowing you to quickly optimize campaigns and scale growth.
