Two ad systems — yours and your users’

Sngine includes two advertising modules. System Ads let admins place network-wide ads across key areas of the platform — similar to Google AdSense placements. Ads Campaigns let users pay to run their own ads, with an approval workflow. You set cost-per-view and cost-per-click, and keep control over what goes live.

  • System Ads managed from the admin panel
  • Ads Campaigns for user-paid promotions
  • Approval workflow with CPV and CPC pricing

After 31 years in web development, I was ready for something that was not static. After trying several social network scripts/platforms, we decided that Sngine was the perfect fit. Trust me, this is so much more fun for you and your clients.
