Google AdSense, Facebook Ads, and Dozens More Buying From WordAds

By Jon Burke | | 19

There are more than 60 partners bidding on WordAds including Google’s AdSense, Google AdX and Facebook Ads. Other well known buying partners include Aol, Yahoo, and Amazon.com.

The WordAds team fields questions about WordAds vs. AdSense and we wanted to clarify that with WordAds you get Adsense.

What the WordAds platform does through our real time bidding platform is to strive for perfect competition for the advertising value of your site.

For example, if a mobile visitor from Canada is seen as most valuable to Facebook advertising, they will pay the highest rate to serve ads to that visitor.

Our twin primary goals at WordAds are to a) maximize your earnings potential b) remove the hassles of managing ads. A bidding environment with 60 companies buying in real time is very complex undertaking and we believe WordAds is succeeding at shielding you from this work so that you can focus on what you care about most – your site and audience.

  1. Thank you for keeping the service alive. I am happy since a long time, minor issues could always been resolved by the support, as same as I got questions answered. I just hope the rates would go a bit up again, it’s been better in the past. But anyway, overall I am very happy.

    1. Advertisers don’t put a high dollar value on visitors from Africa so it’s not realistic to earn meaningful earnings I’m afraid.

    1. Earnings are typically posted by the end of the following month, so expect to see your February earnings by the end of March.

  5. How do Nigerians get paid since we can not use paypal to receive and also I was approved March 12th and I am yet to see my earnings for March and April is almost ending. Would the two months be calculated together? My traffic is directed at the US and I blog at http://www.onerandomchick.com Help please

    1. How do Nigerians get paid since we can not use paypal

      Paypal is the only way to receive WordAds payments. If you cannot use Paypal, I’m afraid you won’t be able to receive your earnings.

      I was approved March 12th and I am yet to see my earnings for March and April is almost ending.

      Payments are sent around the last day of the following month. You’d consequently see earnings for March on the last day of April, in a few days. If you earned less than $100 in a given month, your earnings will carry over to the next month instead.

      I hope this clarifies things a bit.

    1. February earnings were posted a month ago, and March earnings will be posted by the end of this week. However, it is worth noting that if you earned less than $100 in a given month, your earnings will carry over to the next month instead.

      If you have questions about earnings on a specific site of yours, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us here!

        1. Dennis,

          I’m not sure what you mean. You’ve always been able to use AdSense directly if you wanted to.

          EDIT: This comment is in reference to self-hosted sites. For WordPress.com sites, AdSense can only be used if you’re on our Business plan.

          1. The following is mentioned in one of the wp.com blog posts:

            “If you’d like to use third-party ad networks like Google AdSense, OpenX, Lijit, BuySellAds, and Vibrant Media, those options are available on the WordPress.com Business Plan. Sites on the Premium Plan and below are limited to WordAds.”

            https://en.support.wordpress.com/monetize-your-site/

            So, then this post might need an update. As I read this, it means only Business Plan users can use Adsense directly. What is right?

            I am for example not on a plan, I just purchased a domain through wordpress, that’s it. I can still use Adsense directly?

            1. Dennis,

              Ahh, sorry! Earlier I thought you were referring to self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

              The documentation you linked to is correct: for WordPress.com sites, you are limited to WordAds unless you’re on our Business plan.

              Sorry for the misunderstanding there!

    1. For WordPress.com sites, you are limited to WordAds unless you’re on our Business plan.

      I misunderstood Dennis’ first comment to be about self-hosted sites, but that was my fault. Sorry!
