Monumetric Review: Ad Management from 10K Pageviews

Monumetric is a full-service ad management company that helps bloggers and website owners earn from display ads. It was founded in 2012 as The Blogger Network and now works with over 2,000 publishers, from small blogs to sites with more than 110 million monthly pageviews.

Its biggest advantage is the low entry point: you can join the Propel programme with just 10,000 monthly pageviews, which makes it a realistic step up from Google AdSense.

There are four programmes based on traffic — Propel (10K–80K pageviews), Ascend (80K–500K), Stratos (500K–10M) and Apollo (10M+) — so the service grows with your site. Propel costs a one-time fee of $99 and requires at least six ads on the page.

Monumetric installs and tests the ad tags for you, and you still keep the final say over how many ads run and where they appear. Payments are made by direct deposit twice a month, on the 5th and 25th, with a low minimum payout of just $10. The first payment takes 30 to 60 days, though, so do not expect fast cash.

One downside is that Monumetric does not publish its revenue-share percentage, so you cannot compare its cut with rivals before joining. Still, for a growing blog that wants managed ads without a huge traffic requirement, Monumetric is one of the easiest premium options to start with.

✓ Our pick for: growing blogs with 10,000+ monthly pageviews that want full-service ad management without waiting to reach Mediavine or Raptive levels.
