How Itty Bitty Ads Works

Itty Bitty Ads is a co-op advertising network. Members advertise. Members support. Members benefit!

Your 3×3 IBA page

Every member has an IBA page with 9 spots in a 3×3 grid of 125 × 125 pixel ads:

  • 8 paid spots — priced by visual focal point.
  • 1 free rotating spot — the bottom-right 9th spot, powered by impressions.
$8       $10      $12
$7       $15       $6
$3        $5     FREE

Prices are fixed and never change.

Join through a member’s page

When you join through someone’s IBA page, their paid spots start on yours. If you do not buy a spot, that holder’s ad stays on your page and keeps spreading when others join through you. If you do buy it, your ad occupies that position on your page, and you become the holder later members pay.

When your spot is not selected, your ad continues appearing on more members' pages as the network grows. When it is selected, you receive the direct payment and still keep the spot on your own page.

An example

You join through John’s IBA page

  1. John’s 8 paid ads appear on your page.
  2. You choose the $15 center position.
  3. You pay John $15.
  4. Your ad replaces John’s ad in that position on your page.
  5. You now own that position.
  6. A future member can pay you $15 for it.

1

Create your account

2

Pay the $25.00 annual website maintenance fee

Pay IBA using a method shown on the payment page after you register.

3

Submit your payment information for verification

Until it is approved, you will not be able to add any ads nor earn any free ad impressions.

4

Once approved, create your ads

You may purchase 1, 2, or 3 paid ad spots.

The more spots you own, the more of your own ads you can display on your IBA page.

Upload a screenshot of the ad-spot payment. After approval, your ad occupies that spot on your IBA page. You become the holder others pay later.

Together with your free ad, you can display up to 4 of your own ads on your IBA page.

When you own a spot, future members who want that position pay you directly. There is no commission to IBA on those payments.

List a payment method for each spot you hold. Square and some PayPal checkout links are built for one amount. Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, and a PayPal email can accept any amount, but still add them on each spot so buyers see how to pay that price.

The 9th Spot

FREE AD SPOT

Requires impressions to remain in rotation.

Every member gets one free rotating advertising position. That ad has an impression balance.

Every time that ad is displayed in the network rotation, 1 impression is deducted. When the balance reaches zero, your free ad stops rotating until you earn or purchase more impressions.

How you earn impressions

  1. Show your IBA page. After your yearly fee is current, a qualifying view of your page earns you impressions.
  2. Refer new members. Each qualified referral who joins through your IBA page earns you 5,000 bonus impressions. A qualified referral is a member who completes registration and account activation (the yearly maintenance fee is approved). Your own yearly fee must also be current.
  3. Purchase impressions through IBA at any time.

Show IBA → earn impressions → refer new members → earn bonus impressions → get more advertising exposure.

Fair-view rules

  • You cannot earn impressions by viewing or refreshing your own page.
  • One qualifying unique visitor can generate only one impression per page every 24 hours.
  • Refreshing your own IBA page or having others refresh your IBA page will not generate more impressions.

Ad approval

Every advertisement must be approved before it can be selected, purchased, rotated, or shown. Ads are:

  • Pending — waiting for IBA review. Paid spots show an availability placeholder until the ad is approved.
  • Approved — eligible to display.
  • Unapproved — hidden. Editing the ad returns it to pending. Unapproved free ads are left out of rotation.
