TechPulse Daily

SEO proof: ad links are crawlable HTML

Every ad on TechPulse Daily is fetched server-side via cURL to cent-ads' GET /api/v1/embed endpoint. The returned HTML is inlined into the page before it is sent to your browser — so Googlebot, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and screen readers all see the same real <a href="…"> tags that you see.

Live ad fragment, raw HTML

This is the exact HTML that cent-ads returned for the home_featured_link slot just now:
