DartAds
Advertising, run like infrastructure.
DartAds is the in-house platform DartNode built to run its own advertising. It plans campaigns, measures real signups instead of clicks, screens out invalid traffic, and keeps a person in charge of every launch. One advertiser, one team, full accountability.
One platform for the whole ad lifecycle
From the first keyword idea to the final conversion report, DartAds handles each stage of running DartNode's advertising in a single, audited system.
Studio Campaign Builder
Campaigns start as drafts in DartAds Studio: keyword research, cost modeling, and ad copy come together in one workspace before anything is allowed to spend a cent.
Keyword Research & Economics
Every keyword is graded against real unit economics: estimated cost per click, expected acquisition cost, and whether the product it promotes can actually support that spend.
Conversion Measurement
Clicks are matched to real outcomes. DartAds records ad click identifiers on DartNode's own landing pages and reports actual signups and orders back as conversions, not vanity metrics.
Invalid Traffic Screening
A screening pass runs every five minutes to spot click fraud, bot traffic, and abusive networks so they can be excluded before they drain the budget.
Budget Guardrails
Spend caps, approval queues for sensitive changes, exclusion lists, and a platform-wide kill switch keep the system inside limits a human set in advance.
Creative Studio
Ad imagery is produced in-house and reviewed by the team before it is attached to any campaign, so what runs is always something a person signed off on.
A person approves every launch
DartAds automates the busywork of advertising, not the judgment. The system prepares, a human decides.
- Paused by default. New campaigns are pushed to Google Ads in a paused state and only go live when a member of the DartNode team explicitly enables them.
- First-party only. DartAds manages DartNode's own advertiser account. It is not an agency product and does not run campaigns for anyone else.
- Approval queue. Budget changes and other sensitive actions wait in a review queue until someone accepts them.
- Kill switch. The whole platform can be halted with a single setting if anything looks wrong.
- Full audit trail. Every run, every change, and every approval is recorded and reviewable by the team.
