Hey John,
While the Chrome web store does allow extensions to be supported by ads, the new single-purpose policy prevents extensions from bundling ad-injecting functionality with the extension’s core functionality.
If you have an extension that you’re looking to monetize, I recommend you check out FairShare. FairShare offers a monetization solution for your browser extensions and apps that complies with Chrome’s web store policies. The publisher platform connects developers with premium advertisers, so that you can monetize your web properties with ads that integrate seamlessly into your user’s natural browsing experience.
You can check out the overview and how it works on our website but in a nutshell:
You drive users to co-install the single-purpose advertising Fairshare extension
You’ll earn revenue based on the advertisements the user sees and engages with
You can motivate users to install Fairshare based on goodwill, or you incent them by content-locking some of your premium content or features so that they can only be accessed by users that have Fairshare installed.
Check it out and let me know what you think! We’re looking for feedback on how we can make our offerings better for users and developers / publishers.
Best,
Elvie
