🕵️ Mediavine Journey Alternatives?

Ever since Mediavine went on crazy mass purging of Journey by Mediavine sites, I’ve seen people asking about ads alternatives.

Since Mediavine Journey is primarily for sites with lower traffic numbers, the big players like Raptive don’t tend to be good alternatives.

Today I learned that there’s both more options than you think, but also kinda only four options?

Google Certified Publishing Partners

Apparently there’s close to 200 Google Certified Publishing Partners, or places you can work with to run ads on your site.

But that’s not the wildest part to me.

I can’t believe that there’s only four of them that are premium partners - and Ezoic is one of the four.

I’m only pointing that out cause Ezoic has no traffic requirements. And in many instances pays better than AdSense alone.

Ezoic is supposed to have some improvements, like now you can integrate with javascript code.

I tried the new integration and it’s oddly convoluted. You gotta 301 redirect your ads.txt file and other shit.

The javascript integration never worked for me. So I cannot tell you if it’s awesome or not.

Maybe it will work for you and then you can let me know how it goes.

Coming up…

More on what I’m working on and how it’s going.

Stay awesome,
