Mediavine Review: How I Switched From Google Adsense and Increased Earnings by 80%

1

AdSense

Just because this is a Mediavine review doesn’t mean I don’t like Adsense. I’ve been a huge fan of Google Adsense for years. I started putting Google Adsense on my sites over 10 years ago. Then 7 years ago the income I was making from Google Adsense was enough for me to quit my job.

Mediavine

I have seen the comments in Facebook groups and everyone seems to think that Mediavine is the way to go however when I take a look at their sites the have an incredible amount of ads. I mean the average amount of ads from Adsense is around 3-4 ads per page, but most of the Mediavine sites I have seen have around 21-24 ads, so of course you are going to make more money. With 6-7 times more ads you should be making 6-7 times more earnings. The thing is it really messes up the UX. The advertisers are not paying Mediavine more money than Adsesne so think that you are making more money from MV is not a reality it is just your site is displaying more ads.

Ezoic

So, I don’t know exactly WHY my Mediavine earnings were so much higher than Ezoic, I just know that they were when I tried them out the first time. For my NSP4, I’ve been making a ton with Ezoic instead. My ads have been making up to $17.40 per thousand visitors. That is a ton!

AdThrive

Finally, I wanted to briefly mention AdThrive network. AdThrive works very similar to Mediavine. However, you need to have at least 100,000 pageviews as a minimum traffic requirement in order to qualify for AdThrive.

Amazon Associates

When I first started this particular niche site, I was just using Google Adsense and Amazon Associates. However, about a year ago I switched over to Ezoic, which is an ad optimization platform and network.
