For a cheap / new service, try escalated.io. Same cost as the big boys in fraud verification, but no high monthly upfront costs.

Really good question. In my experience, iOS mobile devices using Mobile Safari don't allow JavaScript tracking at all. So the average response should be Null / blank. For Android phones using Chrome, the navigator.plugins is blank (or just an empty array like so, basically just as you...

@jeff1985 knows what he is talking about. There are ways to get the traffic on credit, but largely it's not available for the small website owner.

Really big sites also BUY traffic--from Facebook, Outbrain, Taboola, Snapchat and incentivized sources.

Buy Google Search / Shopping ads? Exact match keywords for people looking for that exact book I think would work.

What ad networks work with really crappy bot traffic. Don't you think if such networks existed they would be out of business by now? Don't be foolish. Buy good quality traffic and create compelling content that would make said traffic stick to the page.

The person you are responding to is incorrect. A DSP is a tool buyers use to BUY banner advertisements. You are looking for banner ads to sell. That means you are looking for an ad network. The easiest way to do this is to get an Google AdSense account. But if you're based in Europe, the ads...

Good thread, broadly accurate I agree that GA / UTM codes is enough and for many publishers it's all they do. It would be nice if this section on BHW got more love.

Completely wrong. Not all native networks own their own sites. Most don't. And there are literally hundreds of people that make big money buying native traffic.

1 - I think so? 2 - Yes, definitely. Most quizzes are copywrited 3 - Maybe? If so, it shouldn't be a barrier to what you're doing. 4 - You should give credit 5 - Try to avoid duplicated content but writing about (let's say) a Disney quiz is totally fine. 6 - This question makes no sense to me. 7...

It's something that most first-year operations people learn how to use. There might be a learning curve, but it's not that steep. Especially for vanilla / standard DFP which doesn't have all the bells and whistles that DFP Premium / GAM 360 has. GAM is a re-branding version of DoubleClick for...

If you're a publisher, the list starts and ends with DFP / GAM. It's free, and 95% of the market uses it.

I will guarantee you that pop ads will find a way to slip through. They always do.

Tell them you have $10K to spend. They will get back to you :D

Is it content that's obtainable from a normal browsing environment? If so, it is scrape-able. But I sadly don't have time to build custom scraping bots for everyone. OP's request was simple / interesting enough so that it made sense.
