Ads within a Windows application. Offer an ad network, please

Question

I am going to place invisible ad units inside our windows application. I want the ads to look like Google AdSense text blocks. But unfortunately, the Google AdSense policy does not allow the use of ads in the Windows application.

Do you know similar ad networks that allow you to advertise in computer programs? The application is intended for the US market.

Answer 1

Tweetie ( http://www.atebits.com/tweetie-mac/ ) uses attractive real-time advertisements from Fusion ads ( http://fusionads.net/ ). Although this program is for Mac, I am sure that they can also be used with Windows.

Edit: Nevermind, it looks like the Fusion network is invitation-only, so this is not really an insert solution. If this application is of high quality, although you can check it out.

Answer 2

I think the only thing you can do is integrate the webbrowser component into your Windows software such as HtmlLite,

And let the web browser point to an online advertiser who is not Google AdSense, like AdBrite,

Make sure their license allows you to integrate software. (I don’t understand why they would forbid it, because this is just a part of the browser built into your software - additional clicks, various sources)
