the leading tool provider for semi-pro and pro neighborhood bloggers

Frequently Asked Questions

1.) Why does Instivate focus on place-based content and advertising for local businesses?

We see opportunity in an area overlooked by much of the technology and advertising world because the focus up to now has been on global, large-scale efforts. This is changing. We're happy to be at the forefront of the rush back to connect people to the streets around them.

2.) What is a neighborhood blog?

Neighborhood blogs are a growing part of how people get the news and information about the area they live in. As large media focuses on national and global coverage, the stories of streets and neighborhoods are being provided by the people that live there. A good neighborhood blog tells these stories.

3.) What is an InstiAd?

An InstiAd can be many things -- a banner ad, a special logo + text ad, a simple text ad -- but the key is that, unlike services like Google Adsense, the InstiAd was purchased by a small to medium advertiser seeking a connection with your highly engaged audience. An InstiAd is created by adding a few simple lines of code to any site. Its self-serve features allow advertisers to create and manage their own ads on your site.





4.) How much does it cost to use Neighborlogs or InstiAds?

We don't charge anything for any Instivate service. Instead, we share a small portion of ad revenue with site owners. Our success depends on the success of our customers.
