You have worked very hard on your site and it’s hard to trust new partners to work with to take over a large portion of that site, like monetization.
Ezoic is very trustworthy and works with publishers to build their sites. They’ve never missed a payment and even offer grants to select publishers to help them grow. Although publishers of any size are welcome, they are vetted thoroughly and only established publishers have access to higher-tier ad partners.
Let’s take a closer look at how Ezoic keeps its trustworthy status in the realm of ad networks.
I’ve chosen Ezoic as my ad partner because they pay 90% more than Adsense. But also because they have a lot of tools that help me grow my site.
From the Ezoic Leap to pass Core Web Vitals to NicheIQ Topics to know what to write about next.
I would have never made the jump if I didn’t think they were safe to work with though.
As you can see from above, I’ve never had any problems with payments from Ezoic in the 6+ years I’ve been working with them. They consistently pay out on time and the amount I’m owed.
I do understand the worry to work with Ezoic though, because they want you to integrate your site through their nameservers.
That can be a scary thing. You lose control over your site because Ezoic can now control what they serve your readers.
But you don’t really lose control, because the domain registration is still yours, so I don’t really get that argument. You can always change where you point your domain name and take the site off of Ezoic.
I have integrated my sites, currently 9 sites in total with Cloudflare. That way, I keep the site in my own Cloudflare account and still get all of the benefits of Ezoic Leap optimization.
What does Ezoic do for publishers?
Ezoic grants
Want to grow your site but don’t have the funds?
You could do so much and have these big ideas, but the money is lacking?
Ezoic has a grant plan to help their publishers succeed, and you might be eligible!
Anyone who is an Ezoic customer (who monetized their site through EzoicAds) can apply for a grant.
These grants are given to site owners who want to grow their small sites into larger enterprises. They are only given to publishers in Ezoic Levels Access Now and Level-Up learning programs.
Ezoic Levels
Ezoic has a tough vetting process for publishers to get onto their network, but size of your audience is not one of them. With Access Now, publishers of all sizes can join the network and start earning money from ads.
Levels are a new layer to the EzoicAds platform. It’s how Ezoic wants to make transparent what level of service they provide their publishers of different sizes.
With other networks, like Mediavine and Adthrive, you’d have to guess which treatment you’ll get, but Ezoic shows you this upfront so you know what to expect.
The most premium advertisers will only work with publishers from higher levels, so there’s is a strict separation of joining, and being able to work with premium brands.
Ezoic Big Data Analytics
If all of that wasn’t enough to gain your trust, Ezoic also has Big Data Analytics.
Here they show you exactly what you earn from each pageview and ad placement so you can take control of your monetization.
- Full suite of optimization tools
- Best ad network for non-US traffic
- Not the highest RPM for US traffic
- Full optimization requires paid subscription
How to withdraw money from Ezoic
Ezoic works with set monthly payments so you can’t withdraw your money whenever you like. You can set the payment method in your dashboard and can choose from Paypal, Payoneer, or check.
Conclusion
As you can see, I’ve worked with them happily for over 6 years and I don’t intend to move away from the platform. Ezoic is definitely legit.
The tools they provide and what they do for their publishers in unparalleled.
