> Free ads for small sites, and for the people who build them. Paste one link and see both answers at once: a slot on your page filled from the library, and an ad made from your own page.

daylight.ad is an ad network for small sites and the people who build them, built on clicks and on nobody’s profile. A click is the unit: every one is judged as it lands, what cannot be verified is never counted, and the refusal is published with its reason. Every unit says out loud that it is an ad, and every ad and site has a page anyone can open. No cookies, no fingerprinting, no profile: an ad knows what kind of site it is on and never who is reading it. One account holds both sides — add a site and its slots fill from the library, add a product and it joins the rotation. Both are free, and monetization is coming soon.

The name is written with a lowercase d: daylight.ad in full, or daylight on its own. Where these pages say "daylight", they mean this network.

Every page listed here is its markdown rendition: the page itself, converted, with its address on the first lines. Any public page on this site answers the same way — add .md to its address (the homepage is https://daylight.ad/index.md), or ask for it with "Accept: text/markdown".

## Pages

- [How it works](https://daylight.ad/about.md): An ad network for small sites and the people who build them — built on clicks, and on nobody’s profile. Every ad and site has a page anyone can open.
- [The desk](https://daylight.ad/desk.md): The network’s front room, and the one page a stranger can rearrange. Every card on it is a real thing, anybody can move one, and where you leave it is where the next person finds it.
- [Network stats](https://daylight.ad/stats.md): Every impression and click on the network, and every click we refused to count, with the reason. Nothing here is rounded, averaged or projected, and nothing is a sample.
- [Two ways in](https://daylight.ad/submit.md): Two things you can add, and one account holds either or both. A product is a listing in the library, shown on other people’s sites. A site is a surface that shows the library.
- [Join](https://daylight.ad/join.md): One account, both sides. Run ads on a site you own, put a product in the rotation, or do both — nothing here asks you to pick.
- [Privacy](https://daylight.ad/privacy.md): No cookies on your site, no fingerprinting, and nothing joined across sites. When you click an ad, your address is hashed with a rotating daily salt and the address itself is dropped.
- [Opt out](https://daylight.ad/optout.md): Ask us to take a product’s listings off Daylight, or to leave a whole board out of it. No account, and you don’t have to explain yourself.

## Docs

- [Docs](https://daylight.ad/docs.md): Put Daylight on your site. Paste the tags, call the API, or ask your coding agent — all three show the same ads and count them the same way.
- [All docs](https://daylight.ad/docs/all.md): Every detail of putting a unit on your page. What an ad looks like, the page nonce, the full response, the markup to draw, and how to style it.
- [SKILL.md](https://daylight.ad/SKILL.md): The whole install procedure as one markdown document, written for a coding agent to read and follow: the serving contract, the placement sizes, the rules a unit must not break, and how to prove the install is counting.
- [llms-full.txt](https://daylight.ad/llms-full.txt): How it works, both docs pages, the privacy page and SKILL.md as one markdown file, for a reader that would rather make one request.
