Automatic thumbs up for the intro 😂
Yes 😂
Wow, this video was a 10 out of 10! That intro was hilarious LOL. Great case study, I'm glad you dug deeper and got more numbers the second time. You guys proved my theory I always thought that the ad networks would just be the same. I'll probably stick with Ezoic even when I have enough traffic for the other networks. No reason to switch and I love Ezoic so far!
Keep up the awesome work guys! And I can't wait for the content challenge 😁
i can't resist clicking on your videos, really what bloggers need
Am from early squad and can't wait to see the entire video. Excited !
You guys are too cute with the plaid shirts:) Thank you for all the value you provide.
So far nothing ever paid better than AdSense for the same content (video vs video, large ads vs large ads, small ones vs small ones) on my site. What some networks do is pumping more video and large ads, but they're more intrusive (oh, and they also love foreground ads too, like bottom / top overlays and so on) and not worth the difference in revenue, plus some of them say you'll get more, but then they get their cut from it and you end up losing money in the end.
Some networks are also nasty because they only pay CPA, but you only find that out after you have their ads running for a while and you see a dismal revenue.
The concept is really good, but in the end, most of those companies just resell AdSense inventory and take a cut from it. They just feel like those RUclips multi channel networks, but for ads. You end up giving them a cut of your profit without a return. I have to say no, thank you, sorry.
Exactly! The ad networks just resell Adsense and other ad exchange/ad network inventory and take a big cut. I bet the increase in RPM is just their experience in loading up the pages with ads, something you can learn to do yourself but have a much better experience for your readers. Although the sticky ads are nice, as they're viewable, not too intrusive and now even Adsense accepts them, which used to be a differentiator for the networks!! Selling direct is also a way to really increase your RPM's!!
I also feel adSense is better than other ad networks as it does not bring down the performance of your website
That's the most epic intro ever!!
Had a doubt, does this maximum rpm change depending on the number of ads placed on the blog....
Like is the rpm data like 1 ad per page or like maximum ads possible?
Top notch content! 👌🏽 Thanks a lot!
Early Christmas present for everyone - Ricky in the shower. This year hasn't been all bad after all.
Thanks for the great info! Two questions: Does Ezoic provide contextual ads, and does Ezoic have non-English language ads for European or Asian countries? Thanks
Hi! I am moving from adsense to Ezoic and waiting for the approval, but my concern is... is it true that with Ezoic the SEO can be negatively affected because of integrating Ezoic through DNS? I'm using Banahosting and according to my hosting provider the SEO could be affected because of black list of IP addresses from Ezoic due to they will be changing the IP addresses. Honestly These words from the hosting provider don't make sense because Google uses UX, Quality Content Search Intent and Mobile Friendly/Speed optimization as ranking factor and not IP address as ranking factor, please let me know your thoughts, I will appreciate a Billion, because My Website is performing Very well in terms of SEO. Thanks!
I personally like affiliate earnings the most. I also try to focus on “money” content to make it convert better. But of course ads can be a good addition to the earnings overall.
@@narubi9 Why don't you just do both at the same time so you will be earning $100 RPM from Amazon, $20 RPM from Ezoic = $120 RPM total?
@@narubi9 people always think that but usually wrong. You should just test it before assuming. Most likely your Amazon RPM would stay the same
@@narubi9 No I'm not, you mentioned Ezoic, but the same would apply for any ad network you use. You should read this case study about using display ads together with aff links: diggitymarketing.com/display-ads-case-study/
Thanks guys , it's really good to know this ...
I recently switched 2 smaller Dutch sites from Adsense to Ezoic. Very happy with the results!!
Your site is slow or not after joining ezoic? And this make decrease your rankings?
@@jaysoftnews763 the ads do load slow and there are a lot. But People can already start reading the content. So far my rankings and visitors are fine. I'll just wait and see.
@@mt9142 Oh, nice to know they accept Dutch websites, might try it :) What's the difference in RPM for you?
Hope to see a lot more intros like this 🤣🤣
Could you work on the audio? Sounds like you’re in a bathroom.
Wow[
The office references 🤣🤣🤣. A definite like.
Thanks Ricky! Very helpful. I predict the shower scene will go down in history along with the Thai curry water slide..
But, brother ezoic is making my website ad loading slow, may this decrease my website ranking ? Suggestions please!
how about the fact that you have to pay Ezoic monthly to achieve those RPM? Is it the same with the other ad networks?
Love you guys always.
Great cold open!
Epic video guys, ha, coming from me who is a digital marketer, so the advertising stuff is always my favorite topic. The question I get in my job daily is "why", why do they pay more? That's what I would like to know. Why does Google AdSense pay so much lower? Is it because you mostly get Adwords/Google ad buyers buying on a cheap CPC basis? Is your RPM effected more by your ad placements, traffic, or the scope of the DSP's/ad buyers that your audience/ad network has exposure to? What about joining an actual exchange like Sovrn? That way you cut through all the middleman (ad networks) and their higher commission fees, (which is probably why Mediavine does better than AdThrive) as the exchanges get their inventory from huge sites and ad networks and Sovrn has no minimums? Better yet, what about using something like Advanced Ads to set up a self serve buying portal so you can get DIRECT ad buying. Those ads might come from smaller companies, who may have smaller budgets, but then you can get WAY higher CPM's via a direct buy??? These are just all the questions I have, which is why I'm monetizing my teeny site right now, more for educational purposes than money purposes - I just integrated the all access versions of advanced ads and am testing it now by putting more ads on my site - and now Adsense allows sticky ads which was an advantage of those ad networks before.. I think someday I might join Project 24 just to chat with you guys, as I prefer to learn as I go and am more on a project 100 plan right now, ha!!!
ok, so I actually humored myself and clicked on the Ezoic youtube video you put below your video. I'm very well aware of them, they are just a few blocks away from my company's old building location and have read a lot about them. They bascially addressed a lot of my questions above in addition to giving me a programamtic 101, ha, no need for that for me as I used to be a programmatic buyer :) Interesting they have access to header bidding and direct deals, that intrigues me. But I still am concerned about how they effect site speed from what I've heard and their requirement for deep access to your site in the CNAME area or something. Anyway, just thought I'd share my additional thoughts -ha.
I'm really concerned about how ad serving companies might invade my readers' privacy. Are there any privacy respecting ad agencies? I'm having a hard time digging up that information. I'm fairly certain that most of them do some level of tracking. I'd rather have ads that are content aware rather than viewer aware.
At the moment I have Adsense, could I apply for Ezoic? Can I have both? Or can I wait for Ezoic appproval and then get out of Adsense?
Both can be used togather
Wowza. The intro?
I vote "nay".
Jim and Ricky should do the podcast as well. ✌
Hey guys, can you let us know how you do the sliding layer which comes in from the side with text and pushes the talking head camera footage to the side, any tips to note?
Would love to see you guys do a video on how you do your research for your articles (the fact research, etc, not keyword research). Anyhow, love all the great content! May have to join you on the inside soon. :)

Pure information...!!!
It's funny you guys just uploaded this video. I recently got suspended from adsense with basically no explanation. Gonna try my luck with ezoic.
I think you need to be approved by adsence for ezoic to work. Try to find out why the suspended you
@@masherrugene Thanks for the reply but I've worked with google many times and I know trying to find out more will be a complete waste of time. I've even researched the message they sent me and other people have said trying to figure out their reasoning is a waste of time. The email itself says not to try to fight the suspension because it will not do any good. One thing I have found out over the years is that google doesn't care. So if you are right and ezoic won't work, then I'll have to just take my business elsewhere.
@@derektanner7144 nice... 👍
@@webloadedtech Ezoic accepted me so if anyone out there is worried they won't get accepted due to issues with google, I'd say give it a shot anyway.
@@derektanner7144 How much ePMV/RPM are you getting with Ezoic?
Ezoic is saying that virtually everything I use from Astra to BLUEHOST to Envato to Elementor etc has a negative impact on my speed/performance metrics… I cannot remove all of this at this point after 48 posts. What am I supposed to do now? Boy this is getting complicated. I am already 75% of the way getting set up with Ezoic. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you
Do you think it's OK to switch your dns settings to ezoic? I am not sure I want to give up control like that
You need your own server to do that. Otherwise, integrate through Cloudflare.
That broke website
That intro was epic. Welldone Sir!
is there way to search keywords that are more prominent in USA/UK?
I've been with Ezoic since August and I couldn't be happier.
same here

This is some steamy content!
It's Nate from Channel Makers!!!
Oh please help me... My site is failing, I spend a sleepless night on my blog but it isn't growing and most of my contents are not even index. I'm also struggling with how to research and write content
my guess is, get register with Google Search Console and index your your site
Do you need an AdSense account before you can apply to Mediavine?
I see Income School is going to be trying out a new revenue stream. #RickyOnOnlyFans
hahaa
genius
@Income School Can you make a video on the study that you guys made with Ezoic?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh Ricky, that was too funny. Great video guys as usual.
What are the numbers needed to qualify for each ad network?
It'd be good if you guys did an updated version of this video. Does Ezoic suck in 2023?
I agree. It’s worth running another study to see if this has changed.
Thank you guys! I was wondering if you use Frase in your content creation and how you like to use it? I've found it so helpful and want to spread the word. It's given me obvious SERP gains and made Google traffic as relevant to me as Pinterest traffic in a very Pinterest heavy niche.
are mediavine limit ads and close account like Google adsence if you work arbitrage?
Do you always shower with your underwear on? HAHAHAHA
I like that you entertain your audience.
And thank you for the info, that is super valuable.

Are there ad networks that payout for per 1000 views?
2 questions --- First, I didnt see any discussion about fill rates --- clearly that could influence the question of "which is better" -- the second question -- what about non blog sites, like forums?
@Mark Purvis Yeah but, isnt a 100% fill at $1 better then a 20% fill at $2?
Guys can i apply with ezoic if my website has Greek written content?
Ναι.
@@Devlin360i Ευχαριστώ για την απάντηση. ! Σε έχουν εγκρίνει; Πόσο traffic είχες;
thumbs up for intro
I don’t know why I didn’t see any of these problems with Elementor before I built my website with it and 48 posts! Now I am trying to add Ezoic and seeing how it slows things down. Can you tell me: if I very slowly work on one post at a time, converting to Gutenberg, but leave the pages as they are, will this improve my site speed with Ezoic ? Ezoic doesn’t tell you up front that this will be a problem and while I was researching pagebuilders trying to figure out how to do this on my own, I never heard one bad comment mentioned about Elementor. I also have Astra which is supposedly an additional “problem.” Project 24 doesn’t push Elementor but beware newbies of the RUclipsrs who do push certain products!
The big problem is that some bloggers use these pagebuilders for every blog post. They can be great for building custom pages, but for posts especially it’s best to stick with WordPress.
I would go through post by post and convert them back. It will help with site speed and make Ezoic work better.
Did you use Ezoic premium for this study, and if you did, did you deduct the premium cost?
well how much fee does mediavine or adthrive charge?
@@sootedninjas I don't think they charge anything. Ezoic also doesn't charge anything for the standard account.
@@vesogry From what I heard AD Thrive &* Mediavine charges 20% on your gross revenue. Based on my eZoic Premium Cost which is FIXED its about 18%
@@sootedninjas What I mean is that there is a premium account for Ezoic that you have to pay for and not just give a cut.
@@vesogry just different business model/concept BUT essentially as far as accounting and ROI is a concern I treat it as such. its always about the bottom line because it is a business after all
Question has anyone here turned off Mediation on Ezoic? It seems like I made more when it was off. Now more than half of my earnings are coming from Adsense, but it seems like my Revcontent has gone WAY down...
Does Google penalize using an ad network other than AdSense???
Good work guys 👍🏻
interesting desk, lol
I switched from adsense to Ezoic and the earnings are great. But ezoic keeps breaking my site. Didn't have these problems with adsense. I keep getting "origin error" in the browser. So I am torn between living with the errors for more money or going back to less money (adsense) but with no errors
Did you manage to solve it? Maybe I can help, I just solved my issiong with the origin error.
@@animiteva1417 I haven't completely solved it. Was advised to get VPS hosting. How did you solve yours?
@@masherrugene How did you integrate Ezoic? I did it through nameservers. I realized that I had configured only 2 of the 4 nameservers on my hosting, which meant that half of the people who tried to visit my blog got Origin error because there is no server to "serve". I am not an expert and I am probably not explaining this well, but once I configured all four DNS servers, I never got the origin error again.
@@animiteva1417 Interesting. I used the nameservers and I also only configured 2. So do I just copy the same nameservers in the other two slots?
@@masherrugene Just go to Settings - Nameservers - View instructions, and there you will see 4 nameservers. Then, simply add the 2 nameservers that aren´t currently in your hosting in the empty slots. :)

Love Mediavine!
Great video and good comments. What does everybody think of Pay-per-call? My company pays money bloggers to publish our financial helplines on their site. Payouts up to $30 happen when a call lasts more than 2 mins.
Switched to Ezoic 3 days ago. Now earning almost 3x of what I was earning with Adsense. But, it did come with a problem. My mobile page speed went from 75 to as low as 20. I don't know why that happened. Been contacting their support for the past 3 days but no reply yet.
Has anyone had this problem with Ezoic?
P.S - I also lost about 10%-20% of my traffic. Should I switch back to Adsense?
How many days did it took to get approved by Ezoic?
It's a common problem. That and the 'origin errors' which kept breaking my site. I've tried Ezoic twice and am going to hold out for Mediavine as I believe I'll get there much faster without Ezoic.
Ezoic is notorious for ruining site speed. Switch to Mediavine when you can. Mediavine is the best because their ads do not hurt your site speed.

Will ezoic ever work with you if you have under 10,000 page views?
Yes, they say that number is more of a guideline.
What is entry point traffic requirements for izoic and adsense, sorry I am new to blogging.
Adsense: 0, Ezoci: 10 000
Least admin?
Hi! I have a question! I wanted to know if I'm banned from AdSense, would I be eligible for displaying ads from Ezoic? Thanks for your time!
no
No, not even Mediavine or Adthrive would take you. All three (ezoic, mediavine and adthrive) are google ad partners so you need to be in good standing with google to qualify for their ads.
I think saying “practically significant” would be less confusing. Every time you say statistically significant, I’m waiting for you to show me a bell curve and p-values 😬
Those two terms are not interchangeable. “Statistically significant” means that if they had collected different data, one of the three services might have finished in a different position. It means, if they continued to collect data, those numbers are likely to continue to approach the same values.
I'm almost certain Ricky calculated his p-values.
Sorry, who gets $18.00 median average PAGE RPM from adsense? Can anyone confirm they are seeing close to this number?
The number of respondents to that survey who use Adsense was low. That high number was driven by one response who claimed very high RPM from Adsense. Usually we see sites earn $1-$4 RPM on Adsense.
@@IncomeSchool yes, got it. That makes sense! I'm seeing £5 GBP

@@masherrugene okay. Is it really makes site slower?
@@marid5573 Ezoic uses advanced lazy loading which means it loads the most important content faster than usual, and delays the loading of later content - which can often overall result in a decrease in the site speed "score"
So I’m guessing any of them is better than AdSense

I’m aversive to Ezoic due to so many horror stories about the platform wrecking site speed.
Destroyed my site speed. Google webmasters was so mad at me. However, I'm using Xenforo instead of Wordpress.
It’s probably okay to start with Ezoic, but with a big site, I don’t want my ad partners having their support team on small sites. Maybe selfish, but true. MediaVine and their team are truly have helped with website sidebar issues in the past, and even provide developers for hands on treatment. Getting me close to $40 rpms has been awesome and a great decision personally
