The right network depends on your site, audience and goals. These questions help you compare options on what matters.

The eight questions

Ask each network:

  • Which formats do you offer?
  • What's the minimum traffic?
  • What is the payout threshold?
  • Which payment methods?
  • How detailed is reporting?
  • How do you handle invalid traffic?
  • Is support responsive?
  • Are there content restrictions?

Test before committing

Run a network on part of your traffic for a few weeks before switching fully.

Example
