I have 1 question.
I started my blog on WordPress late 2018 and I did my backup from blogger to WordPress with a 301 redirect to my homepage. Anytime I apply for AdSense it always get disapproved, can you recommend a better ads I can monetize with my blog?
Hi Sam, I assume you have your own domain name? since any domain that is provided free of charge like “.blogspot” and “.wordpress” would get disapproved by most if not all ad platforms like Google AdSense. Also if this is the case you might want to check the Terms and Conditions of the given subdomain provider to see if you are allowed to serve ads.
Here are some alternatives to AdSense
1. Fomo – https://fomo.com/publishers
2. Media – https://www.media.net/
3. AdClickMedia – https://adclickmedia.com/m/ad-network-payout.cgi/adclickmedia
4. Amazon – https://advertising.amazon.com/
5. infolinks – https://www.infolinks.com/publishers/
6. AdRecover – https://www.adrecover.com/publishers.php
7. Sovrn //Commerce formerly VigLink – https://www.viglink.com/publisher-content-monetization/
8. SkimLinks – https://skimlinks.com/publishers/
