How can furnoodle! be free?
What kinds of advertising are on a furnoodle! site?
We are continuously working on perfecting our advertising model. Furnoodle!’s core values are concentrated around helping independent retailers be successful on the internet. Supported by 3rd party advertising, we can offer this service for absolutely free.
We're careful whose ads we display and are conscious of the consequences advertisements can have. Thus, we do not display competitive ads that could undermine the local retailer. Ideally, we would like to work with manufacturers to better tell their story and promote their products on our network of sites. Help us make furnoodle! better by sharing any ideas you may have about advertising with us!
