Why IDE ads beat banner ads for developers

Developers are the hardest audience to reach online: they block display ads, ignore banners, and rarely click sponsored search results for tools. But they spend 8+ hours a day inside VS Code.

AdKar's sidebar and status-bar surfaces put your message exactly where buying decisions about developer tools get made — with an average CTR around 1.8%, roughly 10x typical display advertising.
