| Jul 6, 2013 at 19:27 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @S.Carnahan In short, the way this works is that we (SE) set up a thread here on meta where the community on MO can suggest and vote on ads that would be displayed on the main site. This is entirely community-driven, no money is involved, and it's pretty much entirely automated based on the votes in that thread. Here's an example - the currently active thread on Ask Ubuntu - meta.askubuntu.com/questions/5504/community-promotion-ads-2013. When someone posts a new ad as an answer, it's not added into the rotation until it gets at least 6 votes from other community members. | |

| Jul 6, 2013 at 15:45 | comment | added | S. Carnahan Mod | I'm not sure I understand correctly - these ads are not paid by outside companies, but are freely distributed on behalf of non-profit organizations? | |
| Jul 6, 2013 at 14:27 | comment | added | user9072 | IIRC, the wish expressed in old discussion was rather "no ads" (personally I have not strong feelings regarding this though). I also think that for MO it will be harder to find ads that are perceived as interesting and not just as ads. | |

Searching for community ads site:tea.mathoverflow.net gives more results, although some of them seem to be completely unrelated. I am not sure whether some of them might be what you had in mind. | |
