Higher Engagement = More Revenue

Sponsored content built with native ads consistently outperform standard banners in terms of engagement. Studies across the industry show that native formats often deliver 5-10x higher CTR because they match the style and context of the site.

Higher CTRs typically mean higher CPMs. Advertisers get more results, which raises your inventory quality.

Lightweight Delivery for Better Speed and SEO

AdGlare's Native Ads load MUCH faster than heavy ad network tags. They're rendered directly in your page's HTML server-side, or pulled via a simple JSON request client-side. Server-side ad delivery avoids the slow script bloat of traditional display ads that hurt page performance.

By keeping your ad delivery lean and server-side, you avoid performance issues that frustrate both users and crawlers.

UserDB: Leverage Your First-Party Data

AdGlare's UserDB was built to let you create accurate audience segments based on your own first-party data. Advertisers LOVE reaching their ideal customer profile (ICP), and they pay premium for that.

For example, a dog-food brand want to show ads only to users who previously bought dog food on your site (are preferably not from them yet). AdGlare's UserDB allows for ad personalization with first-party data targeting.

Developer-Friendly APIs

AdGlare includes a carefully designed ad serving APIs with complete documentation, JavaScript and PHP SDKs, and practical code examples. You or your development team can integrate native ads and sponsored listings within minutes, instead of building your own clostly ad server.

The API is built to be flexible and fast. You can create campaigns, fetch ads, segment users, and manage inventory programmatically.

Cookieless Targeting: No Deal for Native Ads

Third-party cookies are disappearing, and traditional audience tracking is losing value fast. Native ads powered by first-party data allow you to continue offering relevant and privacy-friendly ICP targeting without cookies.

AdGlare's server-side approach keeps user data under YOUR control: no cookies dropped (we never did), and no PII stored by us.
