Distribution Mechanics
How publishers actually embed (and what we're shipping next)
TodayLIVE
Drop-in iframe
Publishers paste a one-line <iframe> snippet. Style-isolated, CSP-relaxed, fixed height. Works on every CMS — WordPress, Ghost, Squarespace, Webflow. Includes a 'Powered by destination.com' credit link.
Q3BUILDING
JS snippet + postMessage
Single <script async> tag injects the iframe, listens for resize / click / view events, auto-heights to content, and bakes an AdSlot into each widget that calls Aditude in the parent page's browser context — better CPMs, real attribution.
Q4ROADMAP
SSR embeds for SEO
Server-rendered embed fragments that publishers can drop server-side — full HTML, no iframe, indexable by Google. Reserved for premium-tier syndication partners and high-value placements.
Monetization Model
Four revenue paths layered into every widget
Each widget carries at least two and ideally three revenue paths so a soft quarter on any single channel isn't fatal. Revenue share with syndication partners runs on the affiliate + display legs.
Affiliate (CPA)
Expedia / Travelpayouts / Ticketmaster / GetYourGuide / Wise. Already wired — every widget click can monetize today.
Display + Native
Aditude / PGAM prebid wrapper. One ad slot per widget, lazy-loaded after first paint. Consent-gated.
Sponsored Placements
Direct-sold "presented by [Brand]" or full sponsored-destination unit. Tourism boards are the target buyer.
Lead Capture
Newsletter opt-in baked into Quiz + AI Trip Planner. Pipes to Resend + HubSpot — feeds existing CRM.

FAQ
Common questions, answered
How much does it cost?
Zero. The free tier is ad-funded — we run a small in-widget ad slot and share programmatic + affiliate revenue with you. Direct-sold sponsorship inventory (tourism boards, travel brands) shares on top of that. A premium tier with no ads and custom branding is available for partners who prefer it.
What's the install actually look like?
One <script async> tag per widget, anywhere in your template. We host everything on destination.com. The iframe auto-resizes to content, so there's no layout shift or CLS hit. No NPM packages, no SDK to maintain.
What's the revenue share?
Default: 50% of net programmatic + affiliate revenue to the partner. Scales higher with volume and exclusivity. Direct-sold sponsorships are 60/40 to the partner on placements that run in their slots.
How quickly do I see money?
First reporting window closes 30 days after install. Payouts run NET-30 from there via your preferred method. For partners with existing programmatic stacks, we can revshare via mediated SSP integration so it lands on your existing schedule.
Can I pick which widgets I run?
Yes — you tell us the ones that fit your audience during onboarding. We'll also recommend a default mix based on your vertical. You can change the lineup quarterly.
What about brand safety / ad quality?
Every widget runs the same ad stack that powers destination.com itself — no retargeting cookies, no autoplay video, no junk advertisers. Consent-gated under GDPR/CCPA. You can blocklist specific advertisers on request.
Do I have to give you a backlink?
The free tier includes a small "powered by destination.com" footer in the widget. The premium tier strips it. No backlink required on your main pages.
What if it doesn't work for my audience?
Pull the snippet. No contract, no termination fees, no commitment. The 2-week pilot is explicitly designed so you can walk away with zero friction.
Run a publisher network, blog, or travel site?
We're onboarding the first batch of syndication partners now. Live widgets are free with attribution; revenue share kicks in once the JS loader and ad-slot integration ship in Q3.
