About

Ad-Shield is an adtech company that helps digital publishers measure and monetize "dark traffic" — ad-blocking visitors that standard analytics, Acceptable Ads programs and adblock walls never see. Its software serves non-intrusive, Better Ads Standards-compliant advertising on a virtual layer that bypasses ad blockers, recovering impressions publishers would otherwise lose. The company says dark traffic accounts for roughly 18% of total internet users and that it recovers 3-7x more revenue than legacy adblock-recovery solutions. It was founded by former adblock developers and works with 500+ publishers globally, operating from the US and Seoul.

Built by former ad-block developers, so it detects blocking from every source (browsers, extensions, apps, VPNs, network level) rather than script-level detection alone, and sells on pure revenue share with no upfront or SaaS fee — the company only earns when a publisher recovers revenue.
