First, a bigger inventory means that the ad network has more options when trying to match an ad to a website based on its content; this is called contextual targeting. Better targeting equal to increased user engagement and higher CTR rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to better contextual targeting, a larger pool of advertisers also means that a larger number of geographic areas are represented\u2014decreasing the chances that your inventory will go unsold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in case of an ad network that sells inventory to the highest bidder, more advertisers mean more bidders, which obviously translates to higher revenue for you.

The most common ones are CPC (cost per click), CPM (cost per mile), CPV (cost per view), CPA (cost per action), and fixed cost.&nbsp; Let\u2019s look at what they mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a cost per click (CPC) model, publishers are paid a certain amount of money each time an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/google-adsense-ad-unit-updates-and-their-impact-on-publishers\/\">ad unit<\/a> is clicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a cost per mile (CPM) model, publishers are fixed amount of money (which varies widely based on a number of factors) for every 1,000 ad impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In cost per view (CPV) model, the publisher gets paid a certain amount of money each time an advertiser\u2019s video is viewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a cost per action (CPA) model, the publisher gets paid a certain amount of money each time a user completes a specified action such as installing a software or completing a registration form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a fixed cost model, the publisher sells their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/how-to-determine-the-value-of-your-ad-inventory\/\">ad inventory<\/a> for a fixed amount of money for a specified time, regardless of how well the ads perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which pricing model works best for your website can ultimately only be ascertained by testing them out one by one and comparing the revenue that\u2019s generated.<\/strong> The benefit of signing up with an ad network that offers more than one compensation model is that you won\u2019t have to switch each time you want to try out a new one\u2014you can just start a new campaign from within your existing interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Payments are usually made on Net 10, net 15, net 30 and net 60 terms which essentially specify that the net amount is expected to be paid in full and received by the publisher within 10, 15, 30 or 60 days after the service is completed. A longer term doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s anything wrong with the ad network, just that they\u2019re waiting to be paid by the advertiser before passing the money on to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As with most matter of money, it pays to do your due diligence before signing on with a network.<\/strong> Try and contact a few publishers who are already on the network and get a sense of how their experience with them has been. Is the network able to fully sell their inventory? Are there big fluctuations in revenue? What\u2019s the average revenue numbers you can expect? Do they pay on time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-5-the-underlying-technology\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_underlying_technology\"><\/span><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">5.

Are they easy to use? Is the reporting accurate and provides updates in real-time? How well is the payment system integrated into the publisher interface?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newer technologies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/programmatic-advertising\/\">programmatic<\/a> buying and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/the-ultimate-guide-to-real-time-bidding\/\">real time bidding<\/a> are disrupting the online ad buying and selling ecosystem and helping publishers earn more money from the existing inventory.
