In the online advertising world, Google Adsense is known to be the best ad network when it comes to what your CPC will be. However, Adsense now has a lot of competition since there are many new Adsense alternatives popping up that give publishers better CPC rates and better revenue.

One of the better Adsense alternatives is Propeller Ads that give publishers the chance to earn better money by just putting their ads on their site. And although Propeller Ads is a UK based ad network, they still cater for publishers who have traffic in most countries like UK, US and Canada etc.

Now obviously, traffic from countries like the US, the UK and Canada, Australia etc will earn you better CPC and CPM rates, so if you have a website that gets traffic mostly from these countries then your earnings will be a lot more than those sites that get traffic from other, 3rd world countries.

Propeller Ads was started back in 2011 to provide ads for their publishers’ sites that are based on the audience of their sites. And you’ll be the one that’s earning money from Propeller Ads if you have a site that is acceptable to be used on their platform in any of the 1st world countries.

If you’re a bit confused over what CPM is we’ll explain it to you. And this is important to know because Propeller Ads is mainly a CPM network. CPM = Cost Per Mile (or Cost Per Thousand). It’s the revenue that you can earn as a publisher for generating 1000 views on the ads displayed on your site.

With most CPM ad networks, for every 1000 views, your ads generate you would earn a certain amount. This can vary from $1 to $4 depending on the ad network you’re using and the source of traffic that generated those views.

And the amount of views your ads generate will largely determine that amount of money you earn for each 1000 CPM. While that might mean you have to generate those views, it also means you still get paid even if you don’t get any clicks on those ads.

For this reason, most people prefer to use CPM ad networks over CPC ad networks such as Google Adsense. For the owners of websites that generate millions of views every month, this can add up to huge earnings for you through such a CPM ad network like Propeller Ads. The more visitors and page views your site generates, the more your CPM earnings with Propellor Ads will be.

That all said, let’s look at some of the features of Propeller Ads from ads, requirements to earnings and payment features.
