Best Ad Network for Maximizing Revenue?

[echloe]

Hi everyone,

I’m exploring different ad networks for my website/app and looking for recommendations. My main goal is to maximize revenue while keeping a great user experience. I’ve tried a few networks, and https://trafficstars.com/ has shown some promising results so far. I’d love to hear about your experiences with CPM, CPC, or revenue share models, and which networks you’ve found most effective for consistent revenue and quality traffic. Any tips, success stories, or lessons learned would be really helpful for making an informed choice.

Which networks have you found most reliable in terms of payouts, ad quality, and support? Are there any hidden challenges I should be aware of? Any insights or comparisons between Google AdSense, Media.net, or lesser-known networks would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

From my experience, AdSense is fine as a baseline, but definitely not the strongest option if you want stable revenue and more control over formats. A lot depends on your niche and traffic sources, of course, but some networks do a better job balancing earnings with user experience. If you’re open to trying alternatives, MGID has been one of the more consistent ones for me in terms of RPM and support. Their native formats blend well with most layouts, so the UX doesn’t suffer as much as with aggressive display ads. What I also liked is that their account managers actually help adjust placements to improve performance instead of just leaving you to experiment alone. It’s not a magic solution, but if AdSense feels too limited, MGID is worth adding to your mix to see how the revenue compares.

I can agree with that. AdSense works, but it’s very restrictive once you start scaling. What I like about MGID is the flexibility — you can test placements, formats, and content filters much more freely. It also tends to perform better on informational or mixed-content sites where AdSense RPMs are usually low. Plus, approval and onboarding are much smoother, which matters if you’re running multiple projects. Definitely makes sense as a complementary network rather than relying on AdSense alone.
