Media.Net Review: Is It Best Alternative To Google AdSense?

There are lots of options available to earn money from your blog. I have previously written an article on Top 15 ways to make money online. Today, I am writing an article on Media.net review. Many publishers have claimed it to be the best alternative to Google AdSense. No doubt, Google AdSense is the best when it comes to making money online. But getting approval from Google is very difficult due to their strict guidelines. Not only getting approval is difficult but maintaining & protecting your Google AdSense account from getting disabled or suspended is a challenging task.  If you are also not able to get your account approved from Google AdSense, it is high time that you should give Media.net a try. Media.net CPC rates are very good as compared to other networks.

Media.Net Review: What is Media.Net?

Media.net is a contextual ad network brought to you by Yahoo! and Bing together. By contextual ad network, I mean it hosts advertisements based on the context of the page. Media.net’s algorithms constantly self-optimize based on their ability to analyze and learn the concepts of your content. Once they absorb what you’re writing about, they connect that content to relevant advertisements on each page. For example, if you are running Media.net ads on your page about sports, your readers will be seeing advertisements related to various sports. Similarly, a page about health topics will have ads related to various health related stuff. So, you can expect a huge amount of money as you will be getting targeted ads for your audience which can result in better conversions and CTR.
