Hooligan Media, Adsense, Or WordAds?

[bbrokeaf]

I currently get 1500 visits a month on my blog and I'm on the fence about using an ad network. I've done a lot of research on all three networks and I'm not sure which is the best option. Here's my rough understanding with the options.

Adsense

• Easy To Join
• Very Sensitive
• One Mistake And You're Blacklisted From Google

WordAds

• Instant Approval
• Monthly Fee To Join ($15)
• Low CPM? ($0.5 - $3.00)

Hooligan Media

• Easy To Join
• Questionable Reputation

If someone can give me insight on the best option I would appreciate it
Thanks.

But the CPM is $3 max and you get 1.5k basically? so you'll spend $15 monthly to make $4,5? or am I missing something? I would encourage you to go for adsense if you're unsure about the rest of them, but the payout will be so little that you would be better not having ads at all.. just my honest opinion..

My first plan was to go with adsense but I'm worried to use them because google is very trigger happy with bans.

maybe focus on growing it for a while longer? none of those options sound appealing. plus, getting banned from Adsense now may impede you from joining better networks in the future.

Also Hooligan Media is CPM network. So if your visitors are generating a lot of pageviews hence impressions maybe you shouls go with Hooligan otherwise I would use Adsense.

What niche are you in? Is it a normal blog?

15 posts.. promoting hooligan media... umm..OK.

It's a normal blog but i plan to experiment with ad arbitrage. I also heard using adsense for arbitrage is a big no no

I can't tell you to go for a company that was banned here. It wouldn't be ok by me. So even though they may pay better than adsense, it is your risk to take. They got banned for not paying $7000 or something, but I`m sure you'll feel the pain just as much if you don't get paid the first $100 you'd make

This post looks like an ad

AdSense - not as easy to join, it can take weeks to get a denial, but it is always good to have AdSense account, just in case. Earnings are not that good, they're not high.

WordAds - never tried, but $0.5 to $3 CPM is not too low, in many cases it's higher than AdSense.

Hooligan Media - working with them since last september and it's good on my end, with decent CPM ($1-$2). My Adsense was banned when I applied but it had no effect on my approval.

If I were you, I'll focus on improving traffic to at least 1k daily. With your current stats, ad network won't make a difference in earnings as you won't earn anything.

Interested to know what you went with @bbrokeaf
Im considering Hooligan, they pay monthly now. That was the main deciding factor for testing them out. Part of me feels its worth throwing some traffic at Hooligan for a month and see if the payment arrives.

Adsense is like a condom, you dnt really wanna use it, takes away all the bloody fun. But reliable.

Hooligan media got into some payment issue with publisher on this forum. First red flag. Second red flag, in their defense they admitted that they are just middleman and rely upon the primary party to pay. So if the final network say no payment, they will not be able to protect your interest in terms of payment. Very risky to be honest. Your first few payments might not have any issue but thereafter you might have issue when payments become larger.

I knooo it's super risky, like its madness really but think il give it a bash for a month or two. Whatever is made is made. End of the day I can turn off their ads when I want to. I keep them on along as they keep paying. Not long term by any means, but AdSense is an absolute waste of computational power. It's all about working up to Mediavine land. Ezoic is like a parasite, that you just don't know when it will fully fuck up your site.

This is a silly statement. You can’t say network is bad because someone on bhw had issues with it. This is place fro black hat, seo, but not unlikely an authorative place to speak about networks. Even google support forums call Adsense crap, still, users use it even if many got burned by it.

If you read carefully the user visibly tried to scam the network - no way you can get CPM of $100 or whatever the amount he got. You cannot seriously think this could be someone else to blame for this but the user.

Ezoic, Mediavine, Moentizamore, etc. work the same way as Hooligan does, so if you have problems working with ‘middleman’ none of those networks will work for you.

Then good luck to you in this case. Rest my case here.

Ezoic pays before their contracts pay, not sure about mediavine or moentizamore. I assume they also have a lot more money because of how long they've been in business. Also, CPM of 100 isn't impossible but it's fairly rare, The average I see is 30-70. All my sites are in the '40s and 50s. Carry on, just wanted to correct some of those statements.
