We’re excited to welcome two new ad networks into the BuySellAds.com family: Fusion Ads and Beacon Ads.
Fusion Ads
Fusion Ads, a one-ad-per-page network, is well known and very respected in the creative professional ecosystem. We’re ecstatic to bring bring them into our one-ad-per-page family, joining Ad Packs and Yoggrt. Chris and Michael, Fusion’s previous owners, have done a great job building and running the network. We’re honored to be the new owners, and plan to build upon the great work they have done. We will continue to run Fusion Ads as it’s own standalone network. The value we bring for Fusion publishers is our ability to run these types of networks efficiently, profitably, and with great care toward the community that they help support. The value we bring for advertisers is similar, but with the added benefit of our software running their campaigns that will have real-time insight into performance and hassle-free billing and creative management. We look forward to working hard to serve the Fusion Ads advertisers and publishers for years to come.
Beacon Ad Network
Beacon has been a part of our extended family for over a year now, running on the BSA private label platform. Beacon Ads is the leading self-serve ad network in the Christian space. We have acquired 50% of the network. We will be working hard for Beacon’s advertisers and publishers to help fuel the network’s impressive growth to date. What is special about the Beacon acquisition is that they are already experiencing some great organic/natural growth. Bringing BSA’s team into the mix will only help grow Beacon at a faster pace which will be beneficial to it’s advertisers and publishers alike. We’re excited to see how far we can accelerate Beacon’s growth in the years to come.
Those dirty details…
We’ll admit it. We’re not one of those sexy startup’s you read about every day who has raised millions of dollars. We’re self-funded, proud of it, and we focus on profitability. The Fusion & Beacon acquisitions fit within this philosophy and also provide additional strategic value to the BSA vision and existing ecosystem.
The next big news you hear from us will likely be about the BIG v3 release that’s coming. We’re keeping most of the details about v3 a secret, but will sprinkle out some updates as we get closer. Be sure to drop your email address here to be the first to know about the details behind BSA v3.

Congrats Todd and the rest of BSA Team. :}}} I am pretty excited.
Congratulations to the BSA team – it’s been awesome seeing you guys grow.
Congrats Todd & co. Keep pushing!
Wow , two new ad networks has born in the BuySellAds family . Congrats BSA Team for this great achievement ! BTW , Can publishers join these two networks ?
if you are already a BSA publisher, you wouldn’t need to also jon these networks. Also, FusionAds is invite only, and Beacon is focused on the Christian niche, so both are very very different from BSA as it is now.
Congratulations to the BSA team , Just keep going !!!Onde Screen Capture for Mac is currently the most professional and powerful screen grabbing utility .
Many congrats! Great going BSA (Y)
Interesting to see BSA expanding like this. Congratulations on the acquisitions.
Unfortunately, I can’t get on board with your “Beacon Ads” purchase, or your involvement with such an organization.
Encouraging and managing advertising on “Christian” websites is clearly in contrast to Christian ideals as set out in the Christian manual — the Bible. For example, see Matthew 10:8 and Acts 8:20, both of which clearly show that Christians should not try to profit off the gospel. Instead Christian websites and organizations should be funded by voluntary donations, in harmony with the principle at 2 Cor. 9:7.
What a comment from someone that sell ads via BuySellAds and Matthew 10:8
This is not the place for this, definitely, so please delete this comment …
Looking around, I see all the profit they have, churches with pure gold, forests, … in my country they are also owners of internet provider company, with payable porn program, hehe
Delete this, just my 5 cents about the world we are living
@Ivan:
Matthew 10:8 is a statement made to Christians about religious services, not business in general. Jesus was a working carpenter, so he obviously provided for his material needs outside of his religion.
My website has nothing to do with religion, therefore does not break the principle of Matthew 10:8. But as you pointed out, the same cannot be said of many nominal Christian religions today.
Way to go BSA, looks like a lot of amazing things are happening for you guys!
Fusion Ads and Beacon Ads are really good websites
