    Top 21 Advertising Networks For Publishers

       (0 reviews)

    I've kept this list of advertising networks for publishers current since the day I first published it, and I go through it line by line every year to kill off dead networks and fix any numbers that have drifted. What follows are the ones I actually trust in 2026. I'll also walk you through getting approved, picking the right one for your traffic, and getting paid.

    Short version: if you're small or just starting out, Mondiad and Ezoic let you in with no traffic minimum, so start there. Once you're past 25,000 pageviews a month with solid US/UK traffic, apply to Raptive (the old AdThrive) or Mediavine for the higher RPMs. If you run global, adult, or mixed traffic, Mondiad, ExoClick, and Adsterra will fill it and pay you fast.

    The Best Ad Networks for Publishers: Comparison

    Ad Network Best For Pricing Model Minimum Traffic Minimum Payout
    Mondiad Push, native & global traffic CPM, CPC None $10
    AdStyle Native ads CPM, CPC None $50
    Media.net Contextual ads CPM, CPC, CPA 10,000 PV/month $100
    Ezoic Small publishers CPM, CPC None $20

    Raptive (ex-AdThrive) Premium US-traffic blogs CPM, CPC 25,000 PV/month $100
    Monumetric Mid-sized blogs CPM 10,000 PV/month $10
    ExoClick Adult & entertainment CPM, CPC None $20

    Google AdSense Beginners CPM, CPC None $100

    Ad tech moves fast, and it doesn't wait for anyone. Expect to test several networks, or a combination of them, before you find the setup that pays you the most.

    It's worth the effort once you land on the right mix.

    Whenever the conversation turns to monetizing a blog or a community, the first name everyone reaches for is Google AdSense.

    Nothing wrong with that. It's the biggest ad network on the planet. But assuming nobody can beat AdSense on revenue is just wrong.

    This is a crowded market with many players competing for the same publishers, and it quickly clears out the weak. Since I first put this guide together, networks like Adblade, Vibrant Media, Propel Media, and RevenueHits have shut down or gone quiet. That's the whole reason I re-check this list every year instead of letting it rot.

    The networks that survive do it by getting smarter about ad delivery, matching the right ad to the right page, which is what turns into more money for you and better numbers for the advertiser.

    Here are the networks I'd put in front of any publisher trying to squeeze more out of the same traffic:

    Quick picks: Mondiad — best push ad network. Ezoic — best for small publishers just starting out. Details on both, and everything else, below.


    Mondiad

    Mondiad - Self-serve push, native and banner ad network for publishers

    Mondiad - Self-serve push, native, and banner ad network for publishers

    Model: CPM, CPC
    Minimum traffic: None
    Payment (min): $10 via PayPal, Paxum, Payoneer, Capitalist, Cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC), Bank Cards, and Wire Transfer

    Mondiad review

    Mondiad is a self-serve network from the people who built PopCash, so it comes with a long track record in ad tech. It does classic push and in-page push really well, and it also runs native, banner, popunder, interstitial, and in-app SDK formats. It takes both mainstream and adult traffic, and the fill rate sits close to 100% worldwide.

    The reason I keep pointing publishers at it is the payouts. The minimum cashout is just $10. You can request a withdrawal any day you like (it usually lands in 24 to 48 hours), or set automatic weekly or monthly payments and forget about it. No traffic minimum, quick approvals, ad zones you can shape to your layout, and real-time reporting. For most people, it earns its place as a higher-yield layer on top of a primary display network rather than a full replacement.

    Pros:

    • $10 minimum payout with daily, on-request withdrawals (24-48h processing)
    • No traffic minimum, so new and small sites get in
    • Covers push, in-page push, native, banner, popunder, interstitial, and in-app
    • Takes mainstream and adult traffic, with a near-100% global fill rate
    • Plenty of payout options, crypto included (BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC)
    • Support every day of the week on WhatsApp, Telegram, Skype, or email

    Cons:

    • Push and pop-under won't fit every premium content site
    • Smaller traffic pool than the giants like PropellerAds, so run it alongside another network

    Mondiad referral program: drop your referral link, and you earn 5% (up to $1,000) on whatever a referred publisher makes, or a referred advertiser spends.

    Mondiad publisher requirements:

    • No bot, automated, or incentivized traffic — they run their own fraud checks plus third-party tools
    • No sites built around illegal activity, malware, or pirated downloads
    • Both mainstream and adult sites are welcome
    • Ad zones have to follow their guidelines, but you can fit them to your layout and preview in demo mode first

    AdStyle

    Model: CPM, CPC
    Minimum traffic: None
    Payment (min): $50 via PayPal, Wire Transfer (international), Direct Deposit (U.S.)

    AdStyle Homepage Screenshot

    AdStyle Homepage Screenshot

    AdStyle is a native advertising platform pushing 65B impressions to 210M unique visitors a month. Its partners include Estee Lauder, Booking.com, and Nestle, among others. The point of native ads, compared with display ads or pop-ups, is that they blend into your content. Less friction for the reader, better conversion for you.

    Pros:

    • Low payout threshold, friendly to small publishers
    • The publisher dashboard is easy to learn, even if you're new
    • Up-to-date tech, AMP pages included
    • Plays nicely alongside other networks

    Cons:

    • No crypto payouts yet, which I'd like to see
    • The help section only covers the basics

    AdStyle has a lot going for it: 24/7 support, strong payouts, a dedicated account manager, and a dashboard with every metric you'd want.

    AdStyle publisher requirements:

    • Ads can't fill more than 50% of the page above the fold on load
    • No popups that cover the page on load
    • Five AdStyle widgets per page, max
    • No bots or automated clicking
    • No illegal or questionable content
    • Don't tell visitors to click your ads

    AdStyle review: AdStyle is one of the stronger native advertising networks out there for both sides of the market. Once you're approved, you get access to quality native ads and are up and running in no time. You also get 24/7 technical support, and the $50 payout threshold means you can ship ads and actually get paid without waiting forever. Their quality controls are tight, so you don't have to worry about your content sitting next to junk ads. If you don't already run native, AdStyle is a solid first one to try, or a good alternative to whatever you're running now.

    Media.net

    Model: CPM, CPC, CPA
    Minimum traffic: 10,000 PV/month recommended
    Payment (min): $100 via PayPal, Wire Transfer

    media.net - Best Advertising Network for Publishers

    media.net - Best Advertising Network for Publishers

    Media.net supports the standard IAB ad sizes and pulls quality demand from every major DSP. You get display units, desktop interstitials, native in-content, and mobile-docked ads.

    Pros:

    • Strong contextual targeting that doesn't lean on third-party cookies
    • Easy-to-use publisher dashboard
    • Huge advertiser base worldwide
    • Dedicated account managers for quality publishers

    Cons:

    • $100 minimum payout
    • Earnings lean heavily on your US/UK/Canada traffic share
    • Weak revenue on non-English or non-tier-1 traffic

    Media.net affiliate program: pays you 10% of your referrals' earnings for 12 months from the day they go live. The publisher you refer also gets a 10% bonus on their own earnings for the first 3 months. Win for both of you. The dashboard gives you links, banners, and detailed performance reports.

    Media.net publisher requirements:

    • No invalid clicks or impressions
    • No counterfeit goods
    • Reliable traffic sources
    • At least 10,000 page views a month
    • Original, high-quality content only
    • No illegal or questionable content, no gambling content
    • Don't tell visitors to click your ads

    Media.net review: Media.net is one of the world's largest contextual ad networks. It started as the exclusive partner for the Yahoo!/Bing marketplace and now runs on its own programmatic and contextual demand from national and local advertisers, which keeps the fill rate near 100% across verticals and formats. Forbes, Elle, Reuters, Cosmopolitan, and Esquire are among the publishers using it.

    Ezoic

    Ezoic - Best ad network for publishers

    Ezoic - Best ad network for publishers

    Model: CPM, CPC
    Minimum traffic: None (no minimum since Ezoic introduced its access levels)
    Payment (min): $20 via PayPal, Check, or Payoneer

    Ezoic review

    Ezoic says it makes you more money on the same traffic, and the way it does that comes down to three things. First, it tests ad placements on your site with machine learning until it finds what pays. Second, its optimization software can speed up your pages if you route your site through its servers. Third, it gives you access to Google's Ad Exchange. It sits a tier above plain AdSense, and now that there's no traffic minimum, it's the most accessible premium option for a new publisher.

    Pros:

    • No traffic minimum, so brand-new sites can join
    • Better money on traffic from outside the U.S.
    • Huge global advertiser base
    • Real technical upside for your site (speed, placements)

    Cons:

    • The placement testing can hurt user experience while it runs
    • The optimization platform throws an odd error

    Ezoic has worked with tens of thousands of sites and lifted revenue by an average of 115%. There's also an affiliate program paying you 3% of the earnings of anyone you bring in.

    Ezoic publisher requirements:

    • No invalid clicks or impressions
    • No counterfeit goods
    • Reliable traffic sources
    • No traffic minimum (more traffic unlocks higher access levels)
    • High-quality content only, no questionable or illegal content, no gambling content
    • Don't mislead visitors into clicking ads

    Apply to Ezoic


    Mediavine

    MediaVine - Best Advertising network for publishers

    Mediavine - Best Advertising network for publishers

    Model: CPM, CPC
    Minimum traffic: $5,000 in annual ad revenue (main network), or just 1,000 monthly sessions via Journey by Mediavine, their entry-level program

    Mediavine review

    Mediavine is a fully managed ad company. They deal directly with the big ad exchanges and advertisers to wring the most out of your inventory, and the upshot for you is faster load times, a cleaner experience, and traffic that tends to grow.

    They changed the gate in 2026. The main network used to want 50,000 monthly sessions; now it wants $5,000 in annual ad revenue instead. For smaller sites, the better news is Journey by Mediavine, which takes you in at as little as 1,000 monthly sessions on a 70% revenue share. Once a Journey site reaches $5,000 in ad revenue within 12 months, it automatically bumps up to the main network.

    Cooking, fashion, lifestyle, and DIY are their sweet spots. Like Ezoic, they actually put money back into the platform: lazy-loaded ads, a recipe plugin for food bloggers, the Grow engagement framework, a social sharing plugin, and so on. If you can meet the threshold, it's one of the better networks to move up to.

    Pros:

    • High earning ceiling
    • Journey lets small sites start from 1,000 sessions a month
    • Sponsored opportunities for publishers
    • Helpful, active community
    • Fast ad delivery, better page load

    Cons:

    • The main network wants $5,000 in annual ad revenue
    • Acceptance is strict; premium tier-1 traffic and engagement matter

    With direct lines to the major exchanges and premium advertisers, Mediavine sits on a valuable pool of ad inventory. Main-network publishers keep a 75% revenue share (70% on Journey).

    Mediavine publisher requirements:

    • $5,000 in annual ad revenue for the main network, or at least 1,000 sessions in a 30-day window for Journey
    • Journey applicants have to install Mediavine's Grow tool
    • Original, brand-safe content in any niche; lifestyle verticals do best
    • Long-form, engaging, regularly updated content with a real audience

    Apply to Mediavine


    Raptive (formerly AdThrive)

    Raptive (formerly AdThrive) Advertising Network

    Raptive (formerly AdThrive) Advertising Network

    Model: CPM, CPC
    Minimum traffic: 25,000 page views/month (down from 100,000 in late 2025)

    Raptive review

    Raptive, called AdThrive until 2023 when CafeMedia folded all its brands under one name, is the network I'd hand to any blogger sitting on premium English-speaking traffic. It's the best CPM network for that profile, period. In late 2025, they merged the old Rise and Insider programs into a single tier and lowered the entry bar from 100,000 to 25,000 monthly pageviews, which let many more people in.

    They look after their publishers. The staff knows publisher advertising inside and out, and every time I've had a question, they've taken the time to answer it properly. You also get courses, revenue guarantees, and creator tools (including AI crawler blocking) that help boost your RPM.

    Pros:

    • Highest earning potential once you're in
    • Google Certified Publishing Partner
    • Entry bar down to 25,000 monthly pageviews
    • Active community, genuinely helpful staff

    Cons:

    • Most of your traffic has to come from tier-1 countries (US, UK, CA, AU, NZ)
    • Slow to get in: 1-3 week review, then 4-6 weeks to go live

    Raptive gives publishers 75% of earnings and runs a deep bench of premium advertisers. Just remember, traffic quality counts as much as volume here.

    Raptive publisher requirements:

    • Good standing with Google AdSense, Google Analytics connected
    • At least 25,000 page views a month, verified through Google Analytics
    • Most of your traffic comes from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand
    • Unique, original content with broad appeal

    Apply to Raptive


    Monumetric

    Monumetric Advertising Network

    Monumetric Advertising Network

    Monumetric review

    Monumetric plays it a little differently from the display networks above. It serves dynamic ads based on your content and your visitors' interests.

    Most networks, AdSense included, show static ads. Monumetric keeps refreshing the units with new ads even while the reader stays on the same page, so you get more clicks, more impressions, and more revenue from the same session.

    Pros:

    • Hands-on support and help with the initial setup
    • High earning potential
    • Big advertiser pool

    Cons:

    • 10,000 page views in 30 days to start
    • $99 setup fee under 80,000 monthly page views
    • Slow payout, net 60 days

    Some bloggers say moving from AdSense to Monumetric grew their ad income tenfold.

    Monumetric publisher requirements:

    • At least 10,000 monthly page views
    • Under 80,000 monthly page views, there's a $99 setup fee (not paid upfront)
    • No content around alcohol, drugs, hate speech, and so on
    • An engaged audience is a must — open comments help show your readers that you are real

    ExoClick

    ExoClick Advertising Network

    ExoClick Advertising Network

    Model: CPM, CPC
    Minimum traffic: no restriction

    ExoClick review

    Founded in 2006 and based in Barcelona, ExoClick runs two channels for both sides of the market: an ad exchange and an ad network. Between them, they push billions of geotargeted ads a day.

    If your site lives in the adult, lifestyle, or entertainment niche, ExoClick is a strong fit. You get more than 20 ad formats with optimized, behavioral targeting, and the performance holds up against your competitors. As a big adult publisher, you want to be here.

    Pros:

    • Clean ads, no malware or viruses
    • Weekly payouts
    • Deep inventory for adult traffic
    • Stable, high CPM rates

    Cons:

    • Tech support is email only
    • Your site has to be an adult, entertainment, lifestyle, or manga & anime site

    ExoClick pays you 5% of revenue from referred publishers for as long as their sites stay online.

    ExoClick publisher requirements:

    • Your site has to be an adult, entertainment, lifestyle, or manga & anime site
    • Anything promoting or linking to illegal activity (dark web stuff, drugs, pirated software) gets rejected on sight
    • No spam email, forum/chat abuse, junk newsgroup posting, or cyberbullying
    • Don't bury the site in ads — max 15 banners, under 5 popups

    Apply to ExoClick


    PropellerAds (Monetag)

    PropellerAds (Monetag) - Advertising network

    PropellerAds (Monetag) - Advertising network

    Model: CPM, CPC, CPA
    Minimum traffic: None

    PropellerAds (Monetag) review

    Quick note before anything else: PropellerAds moved its publisher side to a separate brand called Monetag. PropellerAds now handles advertisers and media buyers; if you're a publisher, you monetize through Monetag. Same infrastructure and demand behind it, just a dedicated platform for your side.

    Monetag runs popunders, push notifications, in-page push, interstitials, SmartLinks, and banners across web, mobile, in-app, and even Telegram Mini Apps. Position the ads well, and your US and UK inventory can pull competitive CPMs. You also get 100% monetized inventory, on-time payouts, and real-time reporting with built-in anti-fraud and malware detection.

    Pros:

    • Quick, painless sign-up
    • Wide format range for desktop and mobile (Telegram Mini Apps included)
    • Global coverage, so you monetize all your traffic, not just US
    • $5 minimum payout, paid weekly

    Cons:

    • Popunders can annoy your readers
    • Plenty of low-quality ads that don't suit every site
    • No adult content

    The minimum is $5 ($20 via Payoneer) on a weekly NET-7 cycle, so you're not stuck waiting to hit some high threshold. Monetag pays via PayPal, Skrill, Payoneer, wire, and crypto.

    Apply to Monetag


    Adsterra

    AdsTerra Advertising network

    AdsTerra Advertising network

    Model: CPM, CPL, CPA
    Minimum traffic: 5,000 impressions per month for popunders; 50,000 impressions per month for display banners

    Adsterra review

    Adsterra is a smart-tech publisher and ad network. They claim 100% fill rates, lean on custom solutions, and push high CPMs while keeping bad or malware-laced ads out through their fraud systems.

    It covers the formats that actually work on web and mobile inventory: interstitials, display, direct links, and more. Across roughly 50K campaigns, Adsterra serves tens of billions of impressions a month in 190+ countries.

    Pros:

    • High CPMs on mainstream traffic
    • 24/7 support
    • Real-time stats and reporting
    • Plenty of formats, in-video and banner included

    Cons:

    • Some of the ads run aggressive
    • Your code can go inactive if you stop sending traffic for a while

    The referral program pays you 5% of the revenue from publishers you bring in, for life.

    Adsterra publisher requirements:

    • Sites have to be complete and live — anything under maintenance or down gets rejected, and so do sites with too few posts or too many blank pages
    • Don't overload the site with ads — 15 or more banners, or 5 or more popunders, gets you flagged; banner and popunder farms are rejected

    Apply to AdsTerra


    Infolinks

    InfoLinks Ad Network

    InfoLinks Ad Network

    Model: CPM, CPC, CPA, CPV, CPI, Auction
    Minimum traffic: None

    Infolinks review

    Banner ads have a built-in problem that quietly costs you money: banner blindness. People tune out ads half the time, without realizing it, because they break the reading experience. Infolinks gets around that with ad units you don't see anywhere else: InFold (overlay), InText (text-link), InTag (tag cloud), InFrame (banners in the margins), and InScreen (smart interstitials).

    Infolinks brings in steady monthly revenue for more than 100,000 publishers and works with companies such as Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, and eBay. It's simple to drop onto a site, with no setup fees and no minimum on pageviews or visitors.

    Pros:

    • Strong, genuinely rare ad units like the in-text ones
    • Simple dashboard for tracking earnings
    • Bank transfer payout option

    Cons:

    • $50 minimum payout
    • The dashboard looks a bit dated
    • Earnings can run low; make up for it by stacking other networks

    Heads up: it can take a few days for all of Infolinks' partners to review your site, after which they'll match the best ads to your pages to boost your earnings.

    Infolinks publisher requirements:

    • Quality content, no illegal activity, violence, pornography, or the like
    • No sites under construction; don't pack the site with ads

    Apply to InfoLinks


    ClickAdu

    ClickAdu Advertising Network

    ClickAdu Advertising Network

    Model: CPM
    Minimum traffic: None

    ClickAdu review

    ClickAdu is built to squeeze revenue out of publisher traffic, and it serves billions of impressions a day across mainstream and adult. CPMs run high in close to 240 countries, with a 100% fill rate.

    The formats you'll use most are popunders, push notifications, in-page push, video pre-roll, and banners, all on a straightforward CPM model.

    Apply to ClickAdu


    Adcash

    Adcash Advertising Network

    Adcash Advertising Network

    Model: CPM, CPC, CPA Target
    Minimum traffic: N/A

    Adcash review

    Adcash DSP+ is an ad platform for both advertisers and publishers, with over 10,000 active campaigns running worldwide.

    It supports formats that perform well on web and mobile: popunders, native ads, push notifications, banners, and interstitials. It offers a strong set of tools to monetize your traffic, and the tech bypasses ad blockers.

    Expect high eCPMs, flexible payment terms, real-time stats, and support that knows what it's doing. Their account managers speak multiple languages and will help you tighten your monetization setup.

    Pros:

    • Simple, clean interface
    • Room to experiment with locations, CPC, and CPM

    BidVertiser

    BidVertiser Advertising Network

    BidVertiser Advertising Network

    Model: CPM, CPC
    Minimum traffic: None

    Your results will vary, but BidVertiser has a monetization model worth a look. On top of earning per ad click, you make extra when that click turns into a conversion, meaning a sale for the advertiser.

    It supports the usual formats — banners, skyscrapers, rectangles, and so on — and a point-and-click tool lets you fit the units to your site's look. The bidding system is designed to wring the most revenue from every unit, and the reporting lets you track clicks, CTR, and total earnings without guesswork.

    Pros:

    • You can earn more than once from the same user action
    • Pays higher than most comparable networks
    • 100% fill rate, so ads always populate
    • One of the longer-running PPC networks around
    • Low minimum payout
    • Automatic approval
    • Above-average CPMs on mobile

    Cons:

    • Lower CPC than AdSense
    • Not the network to lean on if PPC is your only revenue stream
    • Low-quality sites get low-paying ads
    • Daily earnings fluctuate widely, which makes forecasting difficult
    • Ad quality could be better

    BidVertiser affiliate program: when someone you refer signs up and earns their first $10, you get $10. When that same publisher hits $50, you get another $40.

    BidVertiser publisher requirements:

    • No adult or sexual content, heavy profanity, drugs or illegal substances, hate speech, or hate groups
    • Anything tied to piracy, spam, or hacking is banned
    • No sites still under development
    • Don't trick or pay visitors to click — get caught, and you're banned

    Minimums are low on most methods: PayPal ($10), BTC ($100), Check ($100), Bank ($500).

    AdMaven

    AdMaven Advertising Network

    AdMaven Advertising Network

    Model: CPA, CPI, CPL, CPC, CPM
    Minimum traffic: None

    AdMaven is often called the best popunder network for publishers, but it also runs mainstream display ads: banners, lightboxes, interstitials, push notifications, and sliders. They serve hundreds of millions of impressions across about 200 countries.

    That reach gives advertisers plenty of room for geotargeting, and their real-time bidding system targets tightly. Around 25,000 publishers monetize with them.

    Pros:

    • Takes traffic worldwide, no minimum
    • Pays on time, consistently
    • 24/7 live support
    • Strong popunder and push inventory with a 100% fill rate
    • Affiliate program for advertisers and publishers
    • Live reports with real-time stats

    Cons:

    • Popunder and push can be intrusive for some audiences
    • Ad quality varies, so not ideal for premium content sites
    • Support speed could be better

    AdMaven publisher requirements:

    • No bot, automated, or incentivized traffic or clicks

    Advertising Networks FAQ

    What is an advertising network?
    It's the middle layer that connects advertisers, who want their ads shown, with publishers, who own sites and apps and want to make money from that space.

    How do advertising networks work?
    They work with publishers across the web who have empty ad space, gather that unsold inventory, package it, and sell it to advertisers.

    Which ad network is best for small publishers or new websites?
    Ezoic, Mondiad, PropellerAds (Monetag), and PopAds all skip the traffic minimum, so they're the easiest doors to walk through with a new site. Mediavine's Journey program is open now, too, with just 1,000 monthly sessions.

    Which ad network pays the most per 1,000 visitors?
    For premium tier-1 traffic, the managed networks win: Raptive (the old AdThrive) and Mediavine routinely land 2-4x the RPM of AdSense, but you need strong US/UK traffic to qualify. If your traffic is global or non-tier-1, Adsterra, Mondiad, and ExoClick usually beat them.

    Can I use multiple ad networks on the same website?
    Yes, and most serious publishers do. The common move is to pair a display network (Ezoic or AdSense) with a complementary format network (Mondiad for push ads, AdStyle for native ads) to increase total revenue. Just keep an eye on each network's rules for how many ad units you can run per page.

    How do ad networks pay publishers?
    Most pay on NET 30-60 terms via PayPal, wire, Payoneer, or crypto, with minimums ranging from $5 (Monetag, PopAds, Adsterra) to $100 (AdSense, Media.net, TrafficForce). A couple of companies, Mondiad and ExoClick, will pay you daily or weekly on request.


    Conclusion

    Pick the networks that fit your traffic level and your niche, test a couple of combinations, watch your RPM, and then put your weight behind whatever's actually paying. Start today and see what your site can pull in.
