Bitcoin ad networks for publishers

If you're looking to monetize your website, be it a blog or a site hosting user created content, you might want to give one of these Bitcoin-based ad networks a go. Bitcoin based networks allow you to withdraw your payouts much more frequently (in the best case as often as every 24 hours) and may give you more control what kind of ads are displayed on your site.

Ad networks vary a lot on different features: what kinds of ad formats they feature, what requirements they have for websites and how they calculate a publisher's earnings (CPC as in cost per click or CPM as in cost per impression). Since no two sites are alike, you may earn more or see better ads on one ad network than the other. For the best results give a few of these sites a try and see which one works the best for you.
