How to make money with Adsterra for publishers

Whether you are just a blogger with small to growing traffic or a big web publisher, one thing you need to be financially successful is a RELIABLE partner that can help you monetize your traffic. 

And there are many options out there. From Google AdSense to Media.net and many more. In this article, I will focus on a hidden gem in the online advertising industry known as Adsterra.

One mistake I have seen most publishers, especially the not-so-experienced publishers make is believing that Google AdSense is the ultimate way to monetize a blog. That is not true!

Google AdSense is the most popular, no doubt, but with other advertising networks, with a dedicated team that can help you monetize your blog, you can more than double your current earnings. Unless you are a Google AdSense Premium publisher, you may be missing out on big opportunities by ignoring other options.

What is Adsterra?

Adsterra is an advertising network founded in 2013. They serve over 30 billion ad impressions per month worldwide, making it one of the biggest players.

Utilizing various ad formats, Adsterra can help boost the revenues of publishers regardless of their user-base. And with over 20, 000 campaigns running simultaneously, Adsterra easily ensures a 100% fill rate.

Something to love about Adsterra is their partner care. They onboard and treasure relationships with publishers. As a publisher, you can get their team to support and help you optimize your website’s earning potentials. 

Adsterra is a hidden gem that every publisher interested in making money online should consider. Let’s look at some benefits of using Adsterra.
