I'm on a quest to find reliable ad networks that cater to both publishers and advertisers. The goal is to maximize earnings and ensure a trustworthy partnership. I'm curious to know about your experiences in checking and finding good ad networks that suit my websites?

The ad network that you choose must essentially offer two types of reporting. First, is the real time ad metrics - the number of ad impressions, views, fill rate, CPMs, and overall revenue. Second is user-level insights.Advertising networks collect unsold inventory from publishers and sell it to advertisers. Ad networks make money by taking a cut of the publisher's ad revenue once inventory is sold through real-time bidding.Based on the traffic on your website, audience geography, and CTR, the CPM can range between $0.30 to $2. You can utilize different ad sizes such as 300×600, 336×280, 300×250 and 160×600, etc., to get the maximum CPMs. In the case of mobile devices, publishers can use either 300×250 or 300×600 ad units.

Prioritize ad networks with a solid reputation, transparent policies, and fair revenue-sharing. Start with trusted options like Google AdSense, explore niche networks like Media.net, and consider AdThrive and Ezoic for comprehensive services. Look for responsive support, detailed analytics, and clear payment processes. Read reviews and seek recommendations for insights. Test and monitor performance to align with your website's needs and audience.

If you are operating a blog I recommend that you learn about Ezoic. If you are looking for an easy way to get started try AdSense. The rest of the ad networks are not as good in my opinion. You can find a list of ad networks here: https://www.beermoola.com/category/5

Clearly define your advertising goals. Some networks specialize in display ads, while others focus on native advertising, video ads, or other formats. Choose a network that supports the ad formats that resonate with your audience. For example, my work exclusively involves Pop ads, and I've discovered that AdMaven offers the best CPM for the traffic demographic aligned with my audience.

I’ve had a decent experience with Ezoic — takes a bit to optimize, but earnings improved over time. Have you tried them yet?

From my experience, AdSense is still the most reliable, but if you’ve got enough traffic, Ezoic or Mediavine usually pay better. For broader/global traffic, PropellerAds or Adsterra can work, just keep an eye on ad quality. Best way is to test a couple networks and see what performs best on your site.

Finding good ad networks really comes down to your traffic volume and niche because what works for one site might be terrible for another. Google AdSense is the obvious starting point since it's easy to set up and generally reliable, but the CPMs can be disappointing depending on your audience. If you have decent traffic, like 50k+ monthly visitors, you should look at Mediavine or AdThrive because they handle everything for you and typically generate much higher revenue than AdSense, though they're selective about who they accept. Ezoic is a middle ground option that uses AI to optimize ad placements and accepts smaller publishers, though some people find their dashboard confusing at first.

For more control or if you're in specific niches, networks like Media.net work well for search-related content, and PropellerAds or AdSterra can fill gaps though their ad quality is hit or miss. My honest advice is to test a few networks simultaneously using different ad slots to compare actual earnings, not just what they promise in their marketing materials. Watch out for networks that require exclusivity, have shady payment terms, or plaster your site with invasive ads that tank user experience and SEO. Also remember that more ads doesn't always mean more money - I've seen sites actually earn more after reducing ad density because it improved engagement and time on site. What's your current traffic level and niche? That would help narrow down which networks are even worth applying to.
