Bitcoin Ad Networks Reviews and Comparison

Much like Google AdSense, Bitcoin advertising networks provide you with ads to place on your website. In return you’ll receive a payout in Bitcoin (or fiat currency), which you can usually withdraw within a week.

From an advertiser perspective, ad networks supply a wide range of cryptocurrency websites where they can display their ads.

If you’re a publisher you should be aware of the following before implementing any ad network:

1. You won’t always have control over which sites/services show up as advertisements on your site.
2. Ad slots from ad networks tend to load slower than hosted ads/images which can slow down your site’s loading time.
3. Some ad networks don’t filter out spammy or malicious ads.
4. If you’re a very popular site you may be “cannibalising” your business model by selling ad slots to the ad network at a lower price than what you could have sold them directly to advertisers.

A-ADS (Anonymous Ads) - Pros: Offers anonymity, payments are always prompt and punctual, good record of customer support.

Cons: For advertisers – Ads can appear on low quality websites A-ADS, One of the oldest Bitcoin advertising networks,  (Anonymous Ads) is still a very popular choice. Much like Bitcoin itself, the A-ADS advertising platform promotes anonymity: no personal information or verification is required. While there is a sign-up page, you can choose to sign in with a Bitcoin address without registering for an account.

A-ADS is known to offer prompt and punctual payments. Users are given the choice of withdrawing to an A-ADS account or directly to a Bitcoin address. You’re unlikely to encounter many problems, and if support is needed, A-ADS is usually very helpful. A-Ads provides a tagging tool to distinguish between advertisers. Every ad in the network gets a tag (Risky Investments, Shady, etc). Publishers use manual pre-moderation to ban the unwanted tags.
The minimal withdrawal threshold for A-Ads is 0.001 BTC.
 

Coinzilla - Pros: referral program, payments are reliable and rarely delayed, high-quality advertisers

Cons: Strict website requirements.

Coinzilla is a prominent Bitcoin advertising network, which was launched in 2016. It offers both CPM and CPC advertising in the form of standard banners, floating banners, and pop-under ads. Interestingly, adverts can be funded not only with Bitcoin but also with Ethereum. One feature you may find useful is the referral program, which can help you earn 10% of the deposits and withdrawals of referred users. Payments on CoinZilla are processed daily, with up to 72 hours on weekends and a minimum withdrawal amount of 50€. Coinzilla’s publisher requirements are on the strict side, with quite a lot of users having their websites rejected. In particular, Coinzilla only accepts websites with good engagement and interaction rate. As for the customer support, Coinzilla has high online availability and responses are typically helpful. More than that, there’s the flexibility of submitting a support ticket via the website or contacting Coinzilla via Skype.

Mellow Ads - Pros: Charges fairly low fees, which may mean higher payouts.

Cons: Your website must be in a top 100,000 Alexa ranking, support is unreliable.

Mellow Ads, launched in 2015, offers CPM and CPC campaigns, with advertisers able to buy a specific number of unique views or clicks respectively. There’s a choice of banner and pop-under ads, and daily revenue is provided based on the number of views, clicks, or pops provided to the network. Mellow Ads charges a fairly low fee of 10% for network campaigns, which means higher potential earnings than many other Bitcoin advertising networks. However, Mellow Ads may not be for everyone since there are a number of mandatory requirements for having your website approved. This includes having a top 100,000 Alexa rank. This ad network is often used by micro payment sites like faucets. In general, it’s a very fast and reliable Bitcoin advertising network, though it doesn’t have the most reliable customer support, with many users claiming not to have received replies.
The minimum amount to claim your payout is 0.001BTC
