Hello guys! It’s been long that I haven’t been able to update the blog regularly. However, I am glad that I finally had time and I am going to write an interesting post. All these while we have been speaking a lot about banner ads, but we haven’t delved much into other monetization opportunities, apart from native ads. In today’s post, we are going to discuss about the best CPM video ad networks that can help you monetize your blog. Indeed, it is going to be quite interesting.  This list of video ad networks consist of networks which can monetize both mobile and desktop traffic.

  • The Rise of Video Ads

    Whenever, you see a YouTube video, an ad appears either before the video or somewhere in the video if its long. These are in-stream ads for while advertisers pay Google. Mostly video ads are measured in CPE (Cost per engagement) i.e. how engaged the user is with the video ad- whether he is viewing the entire video, or a part of it… Today, apart from Google and Facebook, there are a lot of other ad networks which have come up with their video networks. Mostly, these video ad networks are not as omnipresent as Google and hence cannot guarantee a 100% fill rate and at times not even 50%. But, due to direct partnerships with advertisers and agencies, they can provide you a premium rate for whatever fills they can provide.
