Wikia offers free {{tag|MediaWiki}} hosting for a community to build a wiki-based website, in return for the display of ads.  Some users complain that they have little say over the placement or content of advertisements their website displays.

Logged-in users don't have to see the advertisements unless they choose to.  Users may set their preferences to see advertisements on Wikia in order to see how a page looks to logged-out users. A prominent advertisement is placed at the top right hand side of most pages, but when there is also a picture on the top right hand side of a page the layout for users who see the advertisement can be poor especially on short pages.  Logged in users may not realize this when they add pictures.

Wikia ''currently'' uses the following types of ads on pages:
* A banner at at the top of the page.
* A large square ad in the sidebar which may often be a video advertisement.
* On large pages a tall skyscraper ad is placed inside the end of the sidebar.
* On large pages two large (or 3 slightly smaller) square ads at the end of the page before the footer.
* On various content pages Wikia also sells "Sponsored links" which are a section of links that look like an "External links" page content section but are placed below the category bar.
* ''Occasionally Wikia may make use of take-over ads which replace the background image.''
* ''They rarely show up but Wikia has tried placing [[Wikipedia:In-text advertising|in-text advertising]] in page content occasionally.''


Wikia is worth an estimated $8.11 Million USD to the advertisers with a daily page view of 3703703, since all three have exactly the same figures it must be for the whole of Wikia.
