Top 12 Best CPM Ad Networks For Publishers

it’s known that one of the best ways of generating passive income for yourself is by monetizing your blog or website. All the hard work that you put in to make

your website popular, not only pays off, but also keeps earning you money month after month.

There are several types of website advertisements that you can experiment with, each having its own set of

benefits and limitations.

There are ads which pay you for clicks, and ones that pay you for actual purchases. There are ads which pay you for number of videos played, and there are even ads which reward you for successful email collection from the visitor.

In our experience, unless you have a highly dedicated readership and a great click-through rate, the best ads to run are ones which pay your for impressions. Also known as CPM, these ads pay your for every thousand people that your website serves the ad to.

For websites that attract a lot of visitors, CPM ads can prove to be very lucrative despite lower payouts when compared to CPC and CPA ads.
