Technology: How does it work?
PocketCents has a large network of hundreds of publishers all over the world who host our AdBoard code within their pages. This is primarily how PocketCents reaches its users. The publisher enters the demographic information about their site when they create the AdBoard, so the AdBoard knows what types of ads to display. When a user visits the page, the AdBoard grabs the GPS coordinates when displayed on mobile devices, or their IP address which is checked against a number of GeoLocation databases, to determine where that person is located. The AdBoard then chooses only to display ads whose radius includes that user. The advertisers, of course, select what radius they want to target before hand.
