Media.net Pros and Cons
Pros : –
1.Higher RPM on Average: Media.net offers one of the best RPM (Revenue Per Thousand Impressions) rate in the industry. I guess that’s possible because they only accept websites with most visitors from the western countries.
2.Excellent Customer Support: Once your account is approved, you will get a dedicated customer representative. The reps will help you optimize the ads and maximize your revenue.
3.Highly Converting Ad Design Options: The intuitive designs of the ads blend really well with the blog layouts, which leads to higher CTR. You can change the ad style to match your website design.
4.Powerful Dashboard: The Media.net dashboard is very powerful. You can filter the earning by various durations. The graphs and reports will help you keep track of your website performance.
5.Allows Ads on Sticky Sidebars: Most ad networks don’t allow ads on fixed or sticky sidebars. But Media.net lets you do that which is a big plus.
Cons :–
1. Some Ads Require Double Click from Visitors: There are some ads which require the visitors to click twice before you get paid. This can reduce your earning a bit.
2. Revenue Isn’t Updated in Real-time: For some strange reason, the platform doesn’t show your earning for the day. You have to wait until tomorrow to find out today’s total income.
3. Requires Most of Your Traffic from the USA, Canada, or the UK: If your website gets a lot of traffic from other countries, you can’t utilize that traffic. There’s a chance you might not get approved in the first place.
How Do I Get Started With Media.net?
Media.net is an invitation based ad network, you need to apply by offering details about you and your website if you have multiple blogs or websites you can apply for all of them using one account.
Representatives from Media.net will then review your application and once you are approved you will be assigned an account manager and receive your login details. It’s a good idea to make sure your site has a good amount of content before applying, sites that are new with little content generally won’t be accepted, it happened to me a couple of years ago with another ad company.
Final Words
Displaying contextual ads is the most passive form of income for bloggers and website owners. While Google AdSense is still the leader in this industry, it doesn’t hurt to test other platforms like Media.net and have a backup plan ready. If you match the requirements, I strongly encourage you to become a Media.net publisher and embrace the opportunity.
