Advertising on Monolith
Reach readers exploring the tools
and ideas behind desktop computing.
Monolith brings software discovery and computing history together. This page explains our display placements, the distinction between advertising and editorial content, and the choices available to readers.
Our principles
An independent archive.
A clear editorial distinction.
Advertising is one way to support the work of maintaining and developing Monolith. Display placements sit alongside a directory built around software profiles, historical context and source references.
An advertisement is a commercial message, rather than an editorial recommendation. An advertiser’s presence does not establish a product’s historical significance or its place in the catalogue. Official software links and profile sources serve a separate purpose from advertising destinations.
Any future affiliate relationship will be disclosed alongside the relevant links. Our editorial policy explains the approach behind the archive’s selection, research and corrections.
Display advertising
Placements throughout the archive.
The site is configured for third-party display advertising through Adsterra. Placement availability and presentation depend on the page, device and enabled advertising settings.
The homepage
Display areas accompany software discovery on the homepage, alongside collections that introduce readers to the catalogue and its categories.
Discovery and explorationCategory pages
Category placements sit within browsing pages where readers explore applications by purpose, from office productivity to creative and development tools.
Software by purposeSoftware profiles
Profile placements appear around the reading experience, including the contents area and the end of the article, alongside detailed product histories.
Product context and historyDisplay formats can differ between desktop and mobile. Enquire about the placement and creative requirements for the pages you are interested in.
For readers
Your choice, in your browser.
You can browse Monolith without enabling third-party advertising. Advertising code loads after you choose to allow it; you can decline or return to the preference controls to change that choice.
The preference is saved in this browser using local storage. A different browser or device has its own choice, and clearing browser storage may remove the saved preference.
Third-party advertising may use cookies or similar technologies and send browser or network information to the provider. Our privacy page explains the site’s advertising and storage arrangements.
After changing your choice, reload any other open Monolith pages so they use the updated preference.
