Turn passive traffic into active supporters. Let your audience feature their messages while supporting your work.
This is exactly how the widget looks on your website
CheerAd is the simplest way to let your community support you. Unlike traditional ad networks that clutter your site with irrelevant banners, CheerAd creates a community spotlight where fans can feature their messages.
Unlike auction-based systems, you decide exactly how much each featured spot costs.
Money goes directly to your Stripe account. No 30-day delays, no minimum thresholds.
Your supporters create the messages, ensuring they're always relevant to your community.
Approve or reject any message. Optional AI moderation catches inappropriate content automatically.
Track impressions, earnings, and ad performance without complex dashboards.
A beautiful, non-intrusive widget that complements your site instead of cluttering it.
We built CheerAd because traditional ad solutions weren't designed for independent creators. Here's how we're different:
| Feature | CheerAd | Traditional Ad Networks | Sponsorship Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup Time | 5 minutes | Days to weeks | Hours |
| Minimum Traffic Required | None | 10K-100K+ pageviews | Varies |
| You Control Pricing | Yes, always | No (auction-based) | Sometimes |
| Payout Speed | Instant via Stripe | 30-90 days | 2-4 weeks |
| Minimum Payout | $0 (your Stripe) | $50-$100 | $10-$50 |
| Ad Relevance | Community-driven | Algorithm-based | Curated |
| User Experience | Clean, minimal widget | Multiple banners | Usually clean |
| Approval Process | None | Application required | Sometimes |
We offer three embedding options to work with any website setup:
Works on most websites. Simply paste this code where you want the widget to appear:
Use this if your site has Content Security Policy (CSP) restrictions that block external scripts:
Works everywhere, even on platforms with strict restrictions. Just a button that opens your support page:
You can find your exact embed code with your Site ID already filled in from your Dashboard → Site Details → "Get Embed Code" button.
We believe in transparent, simple pricing:
Example: If you set your contribution at $10, you'll receive approximately $8.41 after fees ($10 - 10% platform fee - Stripe fees).
Keep your site safe without constant monitoring:
Payments go directly to your connected Stripe account. Stripe typically deposits funds within 2 business days, depending on your country and bank.
You have full control. Every message requires your approval before going live (unless you enable auto-approve for AI-passed messages). You can reject any message, and for rule violations, no refund is issued.
Yes! You can add multiple sites to your account. Each site has its own pricing, settings, and embed code.
Expired cheers are automatically hidden, and your placeholder text appears again. Supporters can drop a new cheer anytime.
No! CheerAd works for sites of all sizes. Whether you have 100 or 100,000 monthly visitors, you can start earning.
Currently, the widget uses a clean, minimal design that works well on most sites. Custom styling options are coming soon.
Important information for developers and site owners:
Our embed widget and public API endpoints are configured with permissive CORS headers, allowing the widget to work on any domain. The widget loads from cheerad.com and communicates with our API seamlessly.
If your site has strict CSP rules, you may need to whitelist:
script-src: cheerad.comconnect-src: cheerad.comframe-src: cheerad.com (for iframe embed)Alternatively, use the iFrame embed or Simple Link options which have fewer restrictions.
The widget appears exactly where you place the embed code in your HTML. Common placements include:
The embed script is lightweight (~5KB gzipped) and loads asynchronously, so it won't block your page rendering or affect your site's performance scores.
