    Hello!
    I got a website with videos: funny,entertaining,sexy,dancing,etc ( vidbox.ga )
    Didn't posted content for a while, but traffic will be arround 1000-1500+ visitors daily and 3-5k impressions.Most of the traffic come from facebook, got 2 accounts with lot of friends + groups, so 50% of traffic is..mobile!
    GEO: 60% Romania, 10% uk, 10% usa,5% germany, 5% italy, 5% spain+france+austria, 5% row
    What's the best way to monetize it ?
    I'm interested in:
    728x90 banner + 300x250 banner
    Mobile ads - not redirect or pop-up, i'm interested in a "half screen" ads or anything else that won't make the visitor go away..
    Popunder or Shadow Box too(desktop) , but i'd like good rates, at least 0.001 ( 1$ - 1k pop)
    Video Pre-Roll Ads! I can post ads as pre-roll before the video plays, but i'd like it to be max 10-15sec.


    ps: How much you think i could earn with that website? Visitors depends on how much time i spend on facebook , so.. motivate me ! :D


    I tried:
    1.revenuehits - 2k+ impressions and 50+ clicks = 0.00 Revenue
    2.clicksor - my worst experience! porn ads redirect on desktop, not counting impressions and clicks.
    3.popads - it's good but they don't have many ads..
    4.popcash - got ads but low rates for Romania :( ( http://prntscr.com/99bove )
    5.propellerads - not counting impressions, mostly because it's detected as malware
    6.adcash - great CPA, i love their ads! but is detected as malware by antivirus
    7.bidvertiser - testing it atm, waiting 1-2 day/s to see revenue.

    Not a solution for your geos, but for informational purposes ... Most of the $ are made in pre-roll video ads. To qualify for AOL, your site would need a US Alexa of 50k or better. The major exchanges have good coverage for US, UK, AU and CA and coverage and CPMs fall fast after that. No youtube players approved. Biggest challenges are not getting banned for low quality traffic. Best to plan on launching a new site about every week if you - say plan to run 5 sites.

    try regular banner and maybe popups or layer.
    i would wait with pre-roll ads until your site has grown.
    5.5K daily impressions is not that amount where you need to be concerned with monetization.
    keep your attention on building a strong community on your site.
    if you start to annoy people with ads then your visitors will look for a better place to share their videos.

    Hi! All depends on your site content.
    We have some solutions for monetizing exactly video web sites.
    1. Content Roll. It can be placed on any pages on your web site, and it's 100% new inventory which you selling, so it means it's additional revenue for web site.
    2. Also, if you need legal video content for your web site you can try our video widget. It's VIdeo Player + legal video content in one solution. Implementation is easy, because it's just JS code (like JS codes for banners).
    If you need some of this, connect us: https://mediawayss.com/contact-us.html

    If you're running a video website and looking for a solid monetization solution, I'd recommend checking out Playmatic.video.

    They specialize in video ads, supporting both VAST and JS-wrap formats — easy to integrate and compatible with most players. The CPM is quite competitive, especially for traffic from LATAM and India, which they’re actively focused on right now.

    They also offer a referral program: if you bring in a friend with decent traffic, you get $100 in USDT upfront, plus 3% of their earnings. Payouts are fast and anonymous.

    Might be a good fit depending on your setup. Let me know if you need a contact.
