I wonder if DuckDuckGo would be more successful if it was easier to find out how to advertise with them. Like, a link on the page that says "Advertise on Duck Duck Go." I've tried to advertise with them in the past a few times and gave up. I posted here before also, as I think Gabriel used to read the pages.
I use them for search as my default, and I would have used them for ads. I still might if they put a link there.
- cpeterso 6y agoFrom what I've heard, DuckDuckGo sources its ads from Bing. I searched for "camera" on DuckDuckGo and the ad links have URLs that redirect to Bing, e.g. "https://duckduckgo.com/y.js?ad_provider=bingv7aa&u3=https://www.bing.com/ https://duckduckgo.com/y.js?ad_provider=bingv7aa&u3=https://......".
- cvwright 6y agoAgreed, it took me far too long to find an answer to this. Apparently you have to sign up for some Microsoft ad platform, and then select DDG as one of the places to show your ads.
- dhimes 6y agoWow. So you're really advertising through Microsoft. Hopefully someday DDG will have its own index.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoThere's a reason MS and Google have an index and DDG doesn't. It's expensive.
- ColinHayhurst 6y agoActually I don't believe you can place on DDG. You can only select "Bing, AOL, and Yahoo search syndication search partners"
