Review of Media.Net Ads Network - Alternative to Google AdSense?

If you have the daily 1000 (at least) visitors on your English blog or website from US/UK/Canada, you have the great opportunity to generate more revenues by displaying Media.net contextual ads. The revenue is more than Google AdSense, I have found.

If you sign up from a Media.net Ambassador link, you will receive a BONUS of 10% on your earnings for 3 months & also the Ambassador will receive 10% on your earnings. Both will be rewarded. So don't miss this chance.

Probably, you know the Media.Net is an Ad Network by Bing/Yahoo and it is the 3rd largest popular Ad Network.
Review of Media.Net Ads Network

Since my revenue from Google AdSense was low, I was looking for the best alternative/supportive Ads Network to boost my income by displaying ads and I have found Media.net.

I applied for Blogger blog (this) & after few day, my application had been approved through my daily page view was 500+.

At the beginning, the RPM & Estimated Revenue was 0.00. So I had become frustrated to it. But after 3/4 days, generating revenues had been started ant that was too much big than Google AdSense.
RPM of Media Net Ads


At the beginning, RPM was 0.00 because it takes time to optimize the keyword related to their contextual ads to ensure the best revenue for the publishers. So you have to be patient before getting revenues.

I have found maximum $5.42 RPM. But you will see my income is low because:
  • The blog topic is not product related.
  • The major traffic doesn't come from US, UK, Canda. 
  • The daily page view is too much low still now.
So, if you want to make huge money from your blog or website by displaying any Ads as a publisher, you must complete the above three conditions.

Searching on Google for the review of Media.net, I have found several posts about negative results.

The major blame was they didn't get any earnings somewhere the RPM was 0.00. So why they left displaying media.net ads.
It has happened to me from December to 16th/17th January. Within these days, the revenue was totally 0.00 & I had started to believe their opinion. But it has been proved false because the RPM is now starting to respond. 

I have also asked my personal ads publisher support provided by Media.net about this and he has said, 
The revenue generation depends a lot on the number of impressions, keyword clicks, and ad clicks.
