At XDA, we often receive messages from small advertisers, many of them community members, who want to place ads on the site. We are a VERY small team without a big direct ad sales force, so responding to these requests has been difficult. Not anymore. We’ve partnered with ShinyAds to help us test a self-service ad system for small advertisers (larger advertisers should still contact us directly). For now, we’re offering ads in our new “XDA Sponsors” section in the sidebar. Enjoy!
