Ask HN: Which advertising network do you use and why?
I see lots of short term websites popping up on HN. Sites that ride on the tail of a meme or one that has a lot of traffic but only for a week or two.
I often have smart or funny ideas* for a site of that description but I wouldn't really want to spend money on it.
Do ads recoup the cost of the domain name and hosting? I know it might not be much, especially if noone actually uses the site but it could potentially be a few hundred euro if the site took off.
Assuming that ads do cover the costs, what advertising network do you use? Are some better than other for monetising a short term site? The only ad network I know of is Adsense.
- instakill 16y agoWorking in media for a full digital agency: several but below are two that might be useful to you. Addynamo - Good traffic, good reporting, good agency commission. Admob - Biggest mobile ad network, owned by Google, great analytics. List on the Google Display network if you fall short of other options.
- flignats 16y agoIf you only know of Adsense, go to google and type in "Advertising Network" and you can see a huge list pop up. You know of Adsense bc it's one of the best ones and in terms of revenue generation. If you have a niche topic that is going viral, it could be wiser to go to an affiliate advertising network and go for the commissions - make sure you know your demographic though.
