I've heard Monumetric is a good alternative.
Monumetric is not a good alternative, it is considered as a better alternative than ezoic. But now they give 3 month waiting list for new sites.
 
The moment an advertising company demands that you change your dns, it is a very fishy move, even if they provide better RPM; think about it this way: you invested a lot of money in a decent vps/dedicated server to have a blazing fast website and all of a sudden your investment is going down because of their stupid way of integrating their ads with your website.
I've read quite a lot of articles on the web, but ezoic seems to be the only ad network that demand you change your dns to work with them.
Since they allowed everyone to join their network lately, i also tried to re-apply but their only way to integrate a website is through their dns, which i won't do.
Monumetric looks decent but that 99$ fee for a starter website is too much to be honest, still looking for a decent alternative for a starter website.
 
My website is superfast when I browse both on mobile and desktop even with Ads.
I also get high score on GTmetrix and Page Speed Insights.
Then what could be the reason for traffic drop ?

how many ads do you get on domain and post URL?

I also got approved on ezoic a month back and I was seeing around 8 ads on domain and post URL so I changed the setting now max ads per page and now i am getting fast load speed. I'll see now if my keywords start ranking better cause before ezoic I had no ads and the site was growing daily with more traffic and keywords but since the ads, it got slow so now I am testing with the lowest no of ads per day.

I am also going to take the leap course and use that for optimizing the site.
 
@varun barve please do share how it goes with your site speed. Im was going through ezoics shitty "course" on how to fuck up your site for pennies last night. Then i stopped n thought let me just get knee deep in HM just to see what happens, wont say the full name of the company but you know who i mean. They get enough free publicity round here lol.

I know youre with HM and now with ezoic by the looks of things. You go to ezoic due wierd HM payments or just testing?

Hey i have 4 sites 2 on HM and 1 on adsense and 1 on ezoic. I reduced the no of ads to minimum for ezoic and adsense sites and will see how it goes now for both the sites as 1 is 1 year old and other is 5 year old.

Don't afraid. There is no penalty for mentioning a shit listed product. I also left Hooligan media and moved to Ezoic. Ezoic pays well. Hooligan media has partnered with a new payment company but I couldn't find payoneer in their list.
I left them because the CPM was very low.
 
My Ezoic traffic was also dropped. Then I removed cloud integration and integrated via their Wordpress Plugin. I got all my traffic back.
If you are hosting your site on a good server, Ezoic ads with plugin can't slow your site. Stay away from shared hosting. My site is still faster even using Ezoic wordpress plugin and there are 10 ads on my site.
You can use cloud hosting such as Cloudways, vultr, digital ocean.

Sounds gd, atleasr youve found a work arounf for Ezoic ive heard so many people having issues and a small amount saying they got it to work properly.

So you have 10 ads per page. Thats alot lol, is that not ruining user experience for you?
 
I doubt your traffic loss is mainly due to ezoic, probably the recent google updates have affected your site.

Also just skip ezoic its more trouble than its worth imo.

Yep, User experience matters but at the same time you need money because this is business, you are not working hard to get nothing out of it. Not all niches can be monetized by writing just affiliate reviews.
I don't think 10 ads on a 1000+ words article can make your site's UX bad.
 
From What I saw when I added Ezotic to one of my sites
They inject ads on every single page, at the very bottom. (these ads are paid to THEM, not you, means u don't benefit from it).

Further, my site was fully reworked this month, everything was optimized and recoded from scratch, CVW went from all green, instantly to all red 2 days after integrating DNS.

My traffic dropped by a good 30%, I even lost some rankings on highly comp kws.

That among some other reasons, I decided to drop Ezotic completely as a whole.
