Google AdSense feels low-paying lately. Are there better ad networks for small blogs (under 10k monthly views)?
Which ad network pays best for small blogs?

For blogs with under 10k monthly visitors, ad networks like Ezoic, Mediavine, or AdThrive (if you meet their criteria) usually offer higher earnings than AdSense. You can also consider InfoLinks, PropellerAds, or BuySellAds for niche-focused monetization with lower traffic thresholds.

You can try Ezoic or Media .net they usually perform better for small blogs once you hit consistent monthly traffic.

There are certain business who may be willing to pay more
For me
I would write them, especially if there are has been on my site via AdSense previously
That way..you are not solely dependent on AdSense that can wipeout account and disable ads due to flimsy reasons
They may not always be available
But AdSense seems to be paying far lesser this days

How does below 10K meet mentioned networks traffic requirements, they don't since Mediavine itself u need big consistent traffic to get accepted

Adsterra or AdStuff but these will spam your website with spammy ads though.

Google adsense depends on niche and country where traffic is coming from.

If AdSense feels low-paying for your small blog, there are several alternatives worth trying. Media.net works well for contextual ads, especially in niches like finance or tech. Ezoic and Monumetric optimize ad placements and can boost revenue even for smaller sites, though Monumetric requires a minimum traffic threshold. PropellerAds and Adsterra accept low-traffic blogs and offer diverse ad formats like push notifications and pop-unders. Testing a couple of these networks can help you see which performs best for your audience and content.
