First launched in 2013, Revcontent has seen many changes in the past 4 years.
What is Revcontent
Revcontent is thought by many to be the largest and best performing native ad network in the world today. Each month it powers more than 250 billion content recommendations. Revcontent LLC was founded by John Lemp in 2013 and is considered to be the fastest growing ad network in the world today. Revcontent sites include Forbes, CBS and NBC news.
Its excellent performance and high-quality service makes it highly sought after and trusted by marketers and brand advertisers. The company’s system uses highly responsive widgets, infinite scroll, gallery implementations, and unlimited API customization. This sets them apart from the competition, making the ad formats particularly beneficial to both Revcontent publishers and advertisers.
Restrictions
Those publishers who have a high-quality website that generates more than 50,000 visits each month could benefit from using Revcontent. However, the company will not compromise on security. They reject approximately 94% of all applicants.
Revcontent Ads
Once you are accepted, the benefits include the highest eCPM for worldwide traffic, and support for different geographic, contextual, and demographic channels. The customized widgets offer a wide range of site-specific targeting options. These widgets are able to be integrated with blogs and websites and will enhance traffic and therefore increase revenue. Media, technology and entertainment widgets are just a few of the many available. At the end of an article on your website, you can incorporate the native ad network’s widgets, and increase your income.
Revcontent’s transparency and accuracy in reporting are highly regarded. It has the most transparent reporting in the industry from its intuitive user interface. The powerful dashboard provides advanced analytics and a reporting system that gives you real-time statistics about the performance of your website. The ability to target customers using geo-location, mobile or desktop platforms, and brands consumers frequently visit, is an additional benefit to advertisers.
Revcontent offer offers both banner ads and text ads.
Revcontent Requirements
Revcontent is not easy to join. Revcontent requirements include a minimum of 50,000 visits each month. They check websites to ensure the content is of a high quality capable of providing value to visitors. In addition, they check for any objectionable content such as pornography, malware, and hacking.
Once your website has approved, you will gain access to Revcontent’s automatically generated javascript code, and you will be able to copy and paste your native and recommendation ads directly into the widget area of your site. These widgets are fully responsive for both mobile and web-enabled devices.
Revcontent vs Adsense
Google Adsense and Revcontent are looking for similar customers. Revcontent’s rates are higher than Adsense, but many publishers use both products simultaneously to achieve maximum benefit. In the end, both seem to pay almost the same.
Revcontent Support
Revcontent has one of the industry’s best support service staff. They are available 24/7 for emails, telephone calls and their ticket system has a speedy response time.
Revcontent Payment
Revcontent pay on net 30 terms. The minimum payout is $50 via PayPal, and it is easy to withdraw.
Revcontent CPC
CPC stands for ‘Cost per Click. This is the pricing model where you are billed for each click on your headline or image within the Revcontent widgets. It is a model which is effective for increasing the engagement of users on your landing page. Revcontent CPC is higher than its competitors.
