Top 5 ad network for you as a blogger or publisher

It’s an honour getting to read my content. Good day my blog readers, today I would be introducing to you the top ads network recommended for you as a blogger and I would list and explain review on the top 5(five) ads networks. Before I get started with the reviews, I would first explain the three major platform ads networks do exist as.

Four major platform ads networks do exist as

1.       CPC:

This actually means cost per click, that is, you are being paid per click on your ads. Higher ads networks unlike adsense run this type of ads platform.

2.       PPC:

This means pay per click, almost similar function with CPC, that is, an internet advertising model used to direct traffic to websites, in which advertisers pay the publisher (typically a website owner) when the ad is clicked. It is defined simply as “the amount spent to get an advertisement clicked.

3. CPA:
Cost per action, or CPA – sometimes referred to as cost per acquisition – is a metric that measures how much your business pays in order to attain a conversion. Generally, your CPA will be higher than your cost per click, or CPC, because not everyone who clicks your ad will go on to complete your desired action, whether it’s making a purchase or filling out a form to become a lead. Cost per action takes into account the number of ad clicks you need before someone converts – in order words, improving your conversion rate will lower your CPA.

4.       CPM:

This type of ads platform actually means cost per 1000 impression, that is, Advertisers running CPM ads set their desired price per 1000 ads served and pay each time their ad appears.

As a publisher, you'll earn revenue each time a CPM ad is served to your page and viewed by a user. CPM ads compete against cost per click (CPC) ads in our ad auction, and we'll display whichever ad is expected to earn more revenue for you.

Over to you

When it comes to display advertising networks, publishers have a number of options from which to choose. If you came hoping to figure out which will most efficiently monetize your traffic, that is unfortunately an answer we can’t provide. Because each website is so unique and each network has its strengths and weaknesses, the winning combination will be different for every publisher.

Most likely, the highest earnings will be generated through some combination of the above networks; try experimenting with different combinations and implementations, and carefully track the impact of each on your bottom line. Using AdSense doesn’t preclude you from taking the best of what other ad networks have to offer and running those monetization techniques simultaneously.
