How Easy is it to Get Accepted by Media.net?
As I said earlier it is easy to get Media.net approval if you have a blog which suits their policies and criteria which I found to be stricter than AdSense.
Note that the application is approved manually by the people sitting on another side of the computer. So, there is no getting away.
Let us dive into all the basic requirements which need to satisfied to please the Ad network.
1. First Impression is the Last Impression
To make the blog look impressive you need to have necessary pages like Contact us, Privacy policy, About us, Sitemap, and a disclaimer. These are all important and must have pages which must be visible on each page of your web blog.
The design of your website should be elegant & smooth and all the elements of the site should be easy to navigate.
It is also very important to remove all unnecessary sidebar widgets.
2. Disable any Sort of Ads on your Web
Before applying of Media.net make sure you have removed all ads or affiliate marketing related content from your website.
Using any other ad services will not make the people at M.N happy. Also, remove links directing to any low-quality 3rd party sites.
3. Disable Unnecessary Plugins or Extensions
It is always good to uninstall all the unnecessary plugins or extensions in your CMS. A lot of plugins may not be good as it makes your web page heavy. The website should be simple with few and only useful plugins.
Also, do not use any decorative plugin widgets which add zero value to your blog.
4. Avoid Content which does not Comply with Policies
Like Google AdSense, Media.net is also very strict in content policies. If you are found indulging in any of the following activity then it is very much difficult to get the approval.
- Hate speech or racism.
- Spam content or links redirecting to spammy sites.
- Content related to unethical hacking.
- Violence or explicit writing
- Avoid adding links to illegal download sites.
- Site redirection and site construction
- Pornographic and adult content.
5. Content-Language and Uniqueness
Media.net works for blogs with English as a primary language. If yours is not English then the application will be rejected.
But if you have multi-lingual blog including English then you can apply. Just put the English language content on first few pages and if approved, avoid placing ads on the content with non-English language to prevent future bans.
Unique content is always a benchmark for site approval. Try writing useful and informative content with infographic representation.
6. Regularly write and update
A dead blog with old writings is never loved by any reader and same is with high-value publishers,
It is required to regularly write for your blog and update the content. If your blog has good posts then you can recycle your old posts before applying for media.net.
It is also important to note that your domain age should be at least 3 months old for websites based Asian and African countries.
Note & Conclusion: Though having a little stricter policy, they at the same time have a lucrative earning potential.
The bottom line is, showing them simple website with a good amount of ethical content which is regularly updated.
