We replaced Google.
Here's exactly how.
Our 11-blog network + 50+ security micro-tools runs Google Analytics, AdSense, and Impact/CJ affiliate programs alongside our own first-party stack. The difference: CyberAdX direct advertisers get priority placement over AdSense and affiliate fallbacks — your campaign runs first, house ads and affiliate fills run in the remaining inventory. First-party data, edge-native, real attribution. This is how it works.

End-to-end data flow
From the moment a visitor loads a page to the moment you see a verified impression in your dashboard — here's every step.
Visitor arrives on a network property
A real human lands on one of our 11 specialized cybersecurity sites — breached.company, ComplianceHub, HackerNoob, ScamWatchHQ, and more. Bots and crawlers are identified and excluded at the network edge before any tracking occurs.
First-party pixel fires — no third parties involved
A lightweight tracking script (~2KB, loads async) fires a privacy-compliant beacon to our own infrastructure. No Google. No Facebook. No data leaves our network unless we choose. The visitor's IP is one-way hashed with a daily-rotating salt — raw IPs are never stored.
Edge infrastructure enriches and stores the event
The beacon lands at our global edge network where it's geo-enriched (country, region), device-classified, and written to our first-party event store. DNT/GPC signals are respected — those visitors contribute only to aggregated counts, never to individual profiles.
Your ad is selected and served in real time
Our ad engine evaluates active campaigns against targeting rules — property, content zone, geography, device type. Frequency caps are enforced per visitor per day. The winning creative is returned in a single API call with a cryptographically signed click token.
Clicks are verified, not just counted
Every click URL is signed with HMAC-SHA256 and expires after 5 minutes. Click fraud attempts — replayed URLs, bots that execute JavaScript, invalid referrers — are rejected before they reach your campaign budget.
You see real attribution, not black-box estimates
Your campaign dashboard shows verified impressions, clicks, engagement rate, scroll depth, and geographic breakdown — all from first-party data we own. No sampling. No estimated reach. No "up to X impressions" caveats.
Privacy by design, not by policy
These aren't compliance checkboxes. They're architectural decisions that make privacy violations structurally impossible — not just against our terms.
Session data lives in browser sessionStorage only — cleared when the tab closes.
Visitor IPs are hashed with a daily-rotating salt. Cross-day correlation is cryptographically impossible.
Users with Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control enabled are never profiled. Aggregated counts only.
Our pixel runs alongside Google Analytics. We capture audience data independently — so your campaign attribution doesn't depend on Google's reporting.
Event data is pruned automatically. We hold the minimum necessary, no more.
Data is enriched and stored without leaving the Cloudflare network. No data brokers, no intermediaries.
What you get as an advertiser
Your campaign dashboard pulls directly from our first-party event store. No sampling, no estimates, no middlemen.
Verified impressions
Every impression is a real ad render on a real page loaded by a real browser. Bots are excluded at the infrastructure level.
Signed click tokens
Click URLs are cryptographically signed and expire after 5 minutes. Replayed or forged clicks are rejected automatically.
Engagement depth
Beyond clicks — see 15-second dwell time, 50% and 90% scroll depth, and session engagement rate per property.
Geographic breakdown
Country and region-level data on every campaign, sourced from Cloudflare's global network — no third-party geo API.
Frequency cap enforcement
Set daily impression caps per visitor. We enforce them at the edge before the ad is served, not after billing.
25M+ Google search impressions
5,000+ articles across 11 properties generate over 25 million Google search impressions. Your sponsored content and ads appear alongside articles already ranking for cybersecurity queries.
Technical whitepaper
Sponsors and enterprise advertisers can request our full technical architecture document — privacy model, data schema, and compliance posture.
From approved to live in seconds
Once your campaign is approved, it goes live automatically — no Slack messages, no waiting for a deploy, no manual steps on our end.
Campaign approved
You submit creative assets, targeting preferences, and budget. We review and approve — typically same business day.
We set destination URL and targeting
We configure which properties, ad zones, and geographic markets your campaign targets. You see this in your dashboard before anything goes live.
Status flips to active
Automated from this point forwardOne field change in our campaign management system. This triggers an automated pipeline — no redeploys, no code changes, no cache-clearing tickets.
Edge network receives campaign data
Our serving infrastructure at Cloudflare's global edge picks up the campaign within 60 seconds. Frequency caps, geo targeting, and creative rotation are all enforced at the edge.
Impressions start, data flows to your dashboard
Real impressions from real browsers. Every impression is logged with country, device type, and property. Every click is cryptographically verified before it counts.
The 11-property blog network
Each property serves a distinct cybersecurity audience segment. One pixel. One data store. No Google in the middle.
Plus a network of 50+ security micro-tools
Beyond the 11 blogs, the CyberAdX pixel runs on a growing network of free security calculators and assessment tools. These capture high-intent users actively solving a problem — the best moment to show them your solution.
