Ethical Advertising
===================

Read the Docs is a large,
free web service.
There is one proven business model to support this kind of site:
**Advertising**.
However,
instead of using Google,
we are building the advertising model that we want to exist.
We only work with companies we like and respect,
and offer products that are relevant to developers.
We hope that you'll discover new products and services that are relevant,
and also new companies that care about supporting the open source community.

**We're building an advertising model that respects users while providing value to advertisers.**
We feel like this is something we can be proud of,
and we can start leading the ad industry in the right direction.
We don't track you, sell your data, or anything else.
We simply show ads to users, based on the content of the pages you look at.

We talk a bit below about :ref:`our worldview on advertising <ethical-info>`,
if you want to know more.

.. note::

**Are you a marketer?**
`Learn more <https://readthedocs.org/sustainability/advertising/>`_ about how you can connect with the millions of developers who Read the Docs each month.

Also repeated very close each other. Not sure if that it's a problem in English or not. Maybe Besides is a replacement for the first Also
