Factors to consider when choosing an ad network
Ad formats available: An ad network which offers a variety of ad formats is the best you should choose because one type of ad does not fit all your audience needs and content types.
Payment terms: Carefully research on the compensation model (such as CPC, CPM, CPV or CPA) used by the ad network to measure the returns. Also, make sure that the ad network supports your most favorable payment method.
Customer reviews: Carefully research or ask customers who have used the ad network about their experiences before you use it on your website.
Size, reputation, and age of the ad network: How many advertisers does the network support? How long has it been around? What is its global ranking? The answers to these questions can help you distinguish the right ad network from those which are simply scammers.
