Kalator Ad Service

Free, Open Source Advertising

Open Source Advertising

Kalator is an ad service much like Google™ Ad Sense or Yahoo!™ Ads. The main difference between Kalator and other ad services is Kalator only shows Open Source Project ads. Better still, putting your Open Source project's ad on Kalator is free of charge.

Adding Your Project to Kalator

If you want to add your Open Source project to the ad rotation:

But I already use Google™ Ad Sense...

Even if you are using Google™ Ad Sense, you can use the Proxy Link to link to us. Use the Proxy Link in your public service ads setting in Google™ Ad Sense. This will show the Open Source ads when Google doesn't have any ad content for your site. This will happen infrequently, but you'll still be helping the Open Source community advertise and it wont impact your revenue.

Use the Proxy Link URL above that matches your ad size, and paste it into the ad sense setting shown in the following image:

Or just add the variable google_alternate_ad_url to your Ad Sense javascript snippet. For example:

<script type="text/javascript">
google_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
google_alternate_ad_url = "http://kalator.com/psa/info468x15.html";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 15;
...
</script>

Be sure to use the correct Proxy Link for your ad size
