HTML Meta Tag
The meta tag method lets you declare Zero Ad Network partnership by adding a single tag to each page's <head>. It's the simplest possible integration - no server config, no build tools, no dependencies.
Prerequisites: Your site must already be free of ads, cookie consent dialogs, and marketing popups. The meta tag only declares partnership; it cannot conditionally hide content per visitor.
When to use this
- Your site has a small number of HTML pages you can edit directly
- You use a static site generator and can add the tag to your base template
- You cannot or don't want to edit your proxy server configuration
If you can edit your proxy server config, the proxy server approach is simpler - one change covers all pages automatically without touching HTML.
Setup
Sign up and register your site to get your unique token. Then add this tag to the <head> of every page:
<meta name="X-Better-Web-Welcome" content="YOUR_SITE_TOKEN" />
With a real token it looks like:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="X-Better-Web-Welcome" content="Z2CclA8oXIT1e0QmqTWF8w^1^1" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>My Site</title>
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
How it works
The browser extension checks each page for either the HTTP response header or this meta tag. When it finds the tag, it starts recording time spent and page views on your site. This telemetry is sent to the platform daily and drives your monthly payout calculation.
