Advertiser walkthrough

Buy verified attention, not vanity clicks.

BackSpin sells weighted attention-seconds from real developers in real AI wait states. Delivery is decided by relevance and how developers actually receive your cards, not by who bids most. Here is how to run a campaign.

  1. Step 1

    Create a campaign

    Set your brand name and pick a category. The category is what the algorithm matches against a developer's workflow, so it shapes where your cards are relevant, not just where they appear.

    Create a campaign
  2. Step 2

    Add validated discovery cards

    Cards are structured data, not markup. Every field is safety-validated on submission, so what you write is exactly what gets served.

    Manage cards
  3. Step 3

    Set your bid and budget

    Your CPAS bid is the most you will pay per 1k quality-adjusted attention-seconds; your budget is the hard spend cap. Bid only influences share AMONG cards already judged relevant and well-received. It never overrides relevance, never outbids a better-rated campaign, and never removes anyone. You pay only for verified attention that clears the fraud filter.

    Open the bid market
  4. Step 4

    Track performance

    Watch impressions, verified attention, recall, and your reputation multiplier per campaign. Reputation rises when developers rate your cards useful and genuinely attend them, which lowers what you pay for the same reach. Quality-adjusted readings, not click counts.

    Open overview

Quality decides delivery, not bid

Rank is six factors multiplied together: bid, relevance, attention quality, developer preference, your reputation, and a fairness boost for new campaigns. Bid is one factor. You cannot outbid an irrelevant match or a category a developer has muted.

You see every number

The board's clearing price, lead bid, and your reputation multiplier are all public and computed server-side. Price against true demand, with no hidden auction.

Pay for clean attention only

Low-quality or fake seconds are filtered out before they are charged, you pay on quality-adjusted attention not raw views, and you are never billed above your budget.
