AdMaven

Honestly I think it depends a lot on traffic quality and GEO more than anything else. I’ve tested a few alternatives over time (including AdMaven and others), and the results were kinda mixed tbh - some setups did really well, others just meh. I don’t really think there’s a “best AdSense alternative” anymore, it’s more about mixing things up and optimizing per traffic source instead of expecting one network to carry everything.

Let's start with who I am, I run multiple link-sharing communities ($300–$800/month), I’ve been in this space for years, run the unofficial subreddit, and tested most link monetizers, lockers, and shorteners. I originally started in gaming and over time transitioned into more adult-oriented niches, so I’ve seen how these platforms perform across very different types of traffic. I’m not doing this for referrals or money, just sharing what actually worked for me. Main reason for this thread: I’m seeing a lot of people, especially in adult, getting their RPMs hit hard lately, so I started testing alternatives. ⭐ Rankings (Based on My Experience) #1 🥇 – AdMaven - (Best overall) https://ad-maven.com/ ↪ High CPM (up to ~$27–30, usually solid across GEOs) ↪ Works across pop, push, direct link monetization ↪ Good for scaling and mixed traffic (including adult) ↪ Payment methods: PayPal, Wire, Crypto ⚠️ Can feel aggressive depending on setup #2 🥈 – Bstlar - (Best mid-tier option) http://bstlar.com/ ↪ Decent CPM (~$3–11) ↪ Very good medium option, not high end not low end ↪ Payment methods: Mostly Crypto ⚠️ Approval-based, not instant access ⚠️ Limited compared to bigger platforms - (Bad at 3rd tier countries) #3 🥉 – LootLabs - (Best for gaming) https://lootlabs.gg/ ↪ Very high potential CPM (up to ~$200, realistically ~$25–40) ↪ One of the best for gaming traffic / download monetization / link lockers ↪ Staff support always answer, and fast payouts ↪ Payment methods: PayPal, Crypto, Bank ⚠️ Doesn’t fit every niche (mainly gaming / tools) ⚠️ Requires some optimization to get the high CPMs #4 – PolarAds (Best for very experienced users) - https://polarads.com/ ↪ High CPM ↪ Transparent stats and good support ↪ Payment methods: Crypto, PayPal, Bank ⚠️ Invite / website required ⚠️ Not beginner/Gaming-friendly # 5 Pastr.so (Untested / Mixed feedback) ↪ Comes up a lot in discussions but feedback is very mixed. Haven’t tested it myself. #Final Take If you’re still relying only on Linkvertise or one link monetization method, you’re taking a risk. What I’m seeing right now: RPMs on the platform dropping hard, A good idea could be to try alternatives until things get better, Another surprise I had is pop offers, apparently some pop offers make much more than you think, adding them to your flow could help a ton! Curious what others are seeing lately, especially with adult traffic, are your RPMs also dropping?

with 2k visits a month you’re kinda in that awkward middle where most ad networks won’t perform that well yet, so even if admaven or evadav accept you, don’t expect anything meaningful in revenue from what i’ve seen people usually report aggressive ad formats popups, redirects, push ads which can hurt user experience and even your seo if visitors bounce fast if your goal is long term, you might be better off focusing on growing traffic a bit more or trying something like simple affiliate content or a small digital product instead of forcing ads too early once you’re closer to like 10k+ monthly traffic, your options open up a lot more and the earnings actually start to make sense

Hi I want to share an issue that I am currently tackling. The purpose of this issue is just for awareness so that other tech founders can avoid this obstacle beforehand. I am the owner of Rate Cricket, a forum based website where crickets fans can rate and review matches. Advertisements are the primary source of income from forums and other websites made for rating and reviewing. Website owners usually rely on AdSense, which is Google's advertising network. AdSense has a monopoly because other advertising networks are just not worth it. They pay less and their ads are irrelevant. And website owners have much less control. For example, users of alternatives, like AdMaven and Mediavine, have often found NSFW ads on their websites. Since Rate Cricket is a forum based website, my plans included relying on AdSense as well. So I applied when my website got completed. But unfortunately, it got rejected. >Your site doesn't yet meet the criteria of use in the Google publisher network. For more information, review the following resources: Make sure that your site has unique high quality content and a good user experience. This rejection reason has been quite a pain in the neck. Their rejection reason is quite vague, especially because my website does host a lot up-to-date content. I've already covered over a 100 matches, so a lot match info, runs scored, wickets, reviews, ratings are there already on the site. After consulting with some AdSense experts, here are the changes that I had to make: **1. Improve Website Authenticity** This includes creates pages such as Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, Contact, About Us. AdSense will always reject you if you don't have these pages. Add them to your footer, along with social media handles. You need to show AdSense that you're real and serious. **2. Unlist Similar Content** Currently my website works in such a way that each match has an entry in the database. On the front end, there is only one page, that gets populated with info of the specific match fetched from the database. For example, if somebody goes to \`/matches/abc\`, then the page will get filled with data of match with id 'abc', which includes match info, dates, venue, stats, runs scored by each team, wickets by each team and then ratings and reviews. When I enter a new tournament with all its upcoming matches, there can be 50+ matches with no runs, no wickets, 0 ratings and 0 reviews. Similar to what you see in the picture below. AdSense does not like this, and will mark this as duplicate content, becasue only the team names, dates and venues will differ. [Empty Content will be duplicate content](https://preview.redd.it/rjkudwzu97og1.png?width=2287&format=png&auto=webp&s=334118870bd930bee3413ffca573ed914cdf4031) This is a common way of fetching and populating data on a page, so if you have content that aren't blog posts, then you need to find a way to avoid duplicate content from existing OR being listed by Google. To do this, you need to use your sitemap and robots.txt. I had to unlist all those matches that had less than X number reviews. So Google will not crawl those less popular matches. Consequently the dissimilarity of content on each LISTED match automatically increased. [Avoid Empty Content by Listing only ](https://preview.redd.it/kcf4amgwc7og1.png?width=1293&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba2bd2058d76133ee0677228180ce84a60db3dad) **3. Invest Time in Long Form Content** AdSense prefers long form content like blog posts. Ideally between 750 and 1500 words. This is very very very important, so don't ignore longer content. I always had plans to introduce blogging to Rate Cricket. Previously reviews were match-oriented. If users wanted to discuss any news, or talk about a tournament, then having only match reviews on the site was not a good idea. This rejection pushed me to introduce a whole segment for blogging on the platform. I've allowed users to submit blog posts, which they can share around. From a marketing POV, this is advantageous for me as well, so developing this feature is time well spent. **4. Don't Sleep on SEO** SEO is still important. On Page, Off Page, Technical, all of it. I've been optimizing my site since its beginning. I'm adding this point just to emphasize on it. So make a checklist and start working on SEO: Keywords, H1/H2 headers, sitemap, robots.txt, breadcrumbs, sitespeed, image alts, image sizes, internal linking, lazy loading. Use [https://pagespeed.web.dev/](https://pagespeed.web.dev/) because it's owned by Google themselves, so they'll list a lot of issues that are slowing down your website and are affecting SEO. I just did another test, and it seems that I'm still doing bad on mobile lol. This is bad and I will have to fix this ASAP. [Desktop doing good](https://preview.redd.it/mk0tbtg0e7og1.png?width=1605&format=png&auto=webp&s=9811dd8f2e40974506cd2eeca5bc58ed0cada69a) [Mobile doing bad](https://preview.redd.it/c85o3y76e7og1.png?width=1505&format=png&auto=webp&s=22bc5182f21f1c9a597f070d09f2e560dcd169b8) That's it. I've made these changes and my site is under review again. I'll update this post to let you know if the changes worked. I hope my experience helps you out and that you don't have to wait 3 weeks like me only to get rejected.
