I'm curious to know what everyone's thoughts are on the best platforms for publishers to earn revenue. Whether you're a blogger, content creator, or anyone else in the publishing space, there are so many options out there, and I'm looking for real insights from those who have tried multiple platforms.
Some platforms that I’ve heard about include:
Does anyone have a success story or recommendation based on their own experience? Which platforms have worked the best for you in terms of earning potential? And how does your traffic volume impact your earnings on these platforms?
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Response 1: I’ve tried a few different platforms, but I found Mediavine to be the best for my niche site. They have great support and the RPM (Revenue per Thousand Impressions) is generally higher compared to Google AdSense. However, Mediavine does require at least 50,000 sessions per month, so it’s not a fit for smaller sites.
Response 2: I’ve had success with Google AdSense, but I noticed the revenue started growing significantly once I switched to AdThrive. They offer better payouts, especially if you have quality content. But as you said, they’re selective, and it took me a while to get approved.
Response 3: If you're just starting out, Amazon Associates can be a good choice for product-based content, like reviews or affiliate links. The earnings per click aren't as high, but if you focus on SEO and affiliate marketing strategies, it can add up. Plus, it’s easier to get started compared to other platforms.
Response 4: I’ve been experimenting with PropellerAds for pop-under ads and noticed decent revenue, especially for traffic from non-English-speaking countries. It’s a bit intrusive compared to other ad formats, but for certain types of content, it works well. It’s worth a try if you’re looking for more variety.
Response 5: Don't forget about direct ad sales! Once your site starts growing, you might find better deals by negotiating directly with advertisers. Many publishers have said that direct deals can bring in far more than traditional ad networks.
Some platforms that I’ve heard about include:
- Google AdSense: A classic choice, but can the revenue be significant enough?
- Mediavine: I've seen some publishers rave about it. Is it truly better than AdSense for niche sites?
- AdThrive: A step up from Mediavine for larger traffic? I’ve heard they’re selective, though.
- Amazon Associates: Especially for those doing product reviews, but is it worth the effort for smaller sites?
- PropellerAds: A good alternative to traditional ad networks, but what are the earnings like?
