Revcontent Review for Publishers

Revcontent has been in operation since 2013 and a lot has changed since then. This is an updated review of Revcontent as of January 2017.

Revcontent: Native Reimagined

Introduction to Revcontent

Founded in 2013 by John Lemp, Revcontent is highly regarded as the fastest growing content recommendation network in the world. The network powers more than 250 billion content recommendations each month. Considered by many as the largest and best-performing native ad network globally, Revcontent serves some of the top content marketers including Forbes, CBS, and NBC News among others.

It is a highly sought after ad network trusted by marketers and brand advertisers because of its excellent performance and high-quality service. What sets Revcontent apart from the rest is the company’s system that uses highly responsive widgets, infinite scroll, gallery implementations, and unlimited API customizations. These ad formats are quite beneficial to publishers and advertisers alike.

Publishers with high-quality websites generating more than 50,000 monthly visits can benefit a lot by joining Revcontent. However, be warned that the ad network does not compromise with quality. It is said that they only accept 6% of all applications submitted, rejecting 94% of applicants.

Those who are lucky to join the ad network benefit from the highest eCPM for even worldwide traffic as well as other features such as support for different geographic, contextual, and demographic channels. Their customizable widgets provide a wide range of site-specific targeting options.

Revcontent’s widgets can be integrated with all types of blogs and websites to enhance traffic and increase revenue. Publishers have a wide range of widget options to choose from including media, technology, and entertainment widgets. You can even incorporate the native ad network’s widgets at the end of any article on your website to help you earn additional income.

Revcontent is also highly regarded for its transparency and accurate reporting. Its intuitive user interface is well detailed with the most transparent reporting in the industry. They have an advanced analytics and report system that gives you real-time statistics about your website’s performance straight from a powerful dashboard. Advertisers also benefit from the ability to target customers using different options including geo-location, mobile or desktop platforms, and even on the basis of brands consumers frequently visit.

However, joining Revcontent as a publisher is a bit difficult. They have a minimum traffic requirement of 50,000 visits per month. They even go as far as scrutinizing your website to ensure that you publish high-quality content that provides value to visitors. Furthermore, your website must not contain or promote objectionable content such as pornography, malware, and hacking activities.

As soon as your website is approved, you’ll have access to their auto-generated javascript code that you can simply copy and paste into the widget area of your site to display native and recommendation ads. The widgets are fully responsive and can be served on both mobile and web enabled devices.

Is Revcontent a better alternative to Google Adsense? Well, there are instances where Revcontent’s rates for native ads are higher than Adsense but many publishers prefer to use Revcontent alongside Adsense for maximum benefit. Revcontent also performs better than Adsense on social sites. However, in general, Revcontent pays almost the same as Adsense.

The company has one of the best support staff in the industry. Their support team is always available 24/7 to handle any query you may have via email, telephone, and a fast response ticket system.

In as far as payment is concerned Revcontent pays on Net 30 terms. Their minimum payout threshold is just $50 paid via PayPal. You can easily withdraw your earnings for the previous month after 30 days without a hassle.

Editor’s Revcontent Review for Publishers

Today’s viewer has had enough of traditional forms of ads that pop up obtrusively every time a site opens. Online advertisements in this digital age are meant to be engaging and preferably posted in a sort of disguise. The solution lies in native advertising which is what Revcontent specializes in. The network provides publishers with the most effective way to monetize their sites with native ads and Sponsored Content. Their ad management system continues to outrank its rivals by 200% each year.

It is no surprise then that Revcontent is still the fastest growing content recommendation network in the world today. They are also the largest and best performing native ad network globally serving over 250 billion content recommendations each month. The world’s top advertisers and marketers trust Revcontent primarily because of the ad network’s high quality performance and premium service.

However, the native ad and Sponsored content network has openly admitted that they only accept 6% of applications submitted by publishers. They have very high standards of acceptance. Joining the network is not easy. To be accepted, your site must have a minimum of 50,000 page impressions each month, not contain objectionable content such as pornography, malware, and hacking activities, not even have misspellings and wrong usage of words, and must be regularly updated with fresh and original content. They take copyright infringement issues very seriously. If you are found to contravene any of these requirements, your account will be banned and you will lose your earnings too.

If you are accepted as a publisher, you stand to benefit a lot from Revcontent. The ad network prides itself of having the same rates as Adsense, and sometimes paying higher than Adsense does. However, many publishers choose to use Revcontent alongside Adsense to maximize revenue. Revcontent is 100% compatible with Adsense as long as your ads do not violate terms of service.

Revcontent has a very friendly and helpful support team. They are always available 24/7 ready to assist you in any problem or query you may have via telephone, email, or ticket system. As for payment, Revcontent pays on NET 30 terms. They have a low minimum payout threshold of only $50. You can always cash out when your payment matures and be paid via PayPal.

As of March 6 they now also offer a “Give 5%, Get 5%” referral program where partners instantly get 5% of their net profit whenever they refer other site owners into the Revcontent platform. Additionally, they will give any sites partners refer a 5% greater revshare than their standard split.
