FAQ
Everything you need to know about advertising and publishing on RoketAd.
RoketAd is an advertising network built specifically for indie hackers, SaaS founders, developers, AI builders, and startups. It helps product creators reach a highly relevant audience across websites and products within the independent tech ecosystem.
Instead of trying to reach everyone, RoketAd focuses on connecting your product with people who are already interested in software, startups, AI, developer tools, and new products.
RoketAd is designed for founders and teams building products for the modern internet.
You can use RoketAd to promote:
If you’re building something for developers, founders, creators, or tech enthusiasts, RoketAd is built for you.
Create a campaign, choose your budget and destination URL, select the audience or categories that fit your product, and launch.
Your campaign is then distributed across participating websites and products in the RoketAd network.
You’ll be able to monitor important performance metrics such as impressions, clicks, CTR, and campaign performance from your dashboard.
Simple setup. Transparent results. No agency required.
Google and Meta are designed to serve almost every type of advertiser and audience.
RoketAd takes a different approach.
We’re building a focused network around indie hackers, SaaS, developers, startups, AI, and technology.
That means your advertising budget isn’t competing for attention across an enormous general-purpose audience. Instead, you can promote your product in an environment specifically designed around the people most likely to discover and try new software.
No.
RoketAd is designed with early-stage founders in mind, so you don’t need thousands of dollars to start experimenting with paid acquisition.
Start with a small campaign, measure the results, learn what works, and increase your budget when you find a channel that converts.
Start small. Scale what works.
Absolutely.
In fact, that’s one of the main reasons we’re building RoketAd.
Getting the first users is often one of the hardest parts of launching a SaaS. RoketAd gives founders another way to put their product in front of a relevant audience without having to build a large audience first.
You can promote legitimate products and services that are relevant to the RoketAd audience.
This includes SaaS products, AI tools, developer tools, startups, apps, newsletters, communities, and other technology products.
All campaigns are subject to our advertising guidelines to keep the network useful and trustworthy for both advertisers and publishers.
Yes.
If you run a website, SaaS product, blog, newsletter, community, or other digital property with an audience that fits the RoketAd ecosystem, you can apply to become a publisher.
Publishers can monetize available advertising space while keeping control over what appears on their websites.
Turn your audience into another revenue stream.
Publishers earn revenue when ads are displayed or interacted with, depending on the advertising format and campaign model.
Your dashboard will provide visibility into impressions, clicks, earnings, and other relevant metrics.
Our goal is to make monetization simple and transparent rather than forcing publishers through complicated advertising platforms.
Yes.
Publisher controls are an important part of RoketAd.
You should be able to maintain the quality and relevance of the advertising shown to your audience. We also review campaigns and enforce advertising guidelines to help maintain a high-quality network.
RoketAd is built around a curated technology ecosystem.
We review campaigns against our advertising guidelines and can reject products, creatives, or destinations that don’t meet our quality standards.
The goal isn’t to maximize the number of ads in the network.
The goal is to build a network people actually trust.
