I run multiple websites and hence try different ad networks for monetization.
So, here is my monumetric review after my experience with them on one of my prominent websites.
Monumetric ads
The monumetric ads are implemented by the support team on your site. For this, they require your site’s login access.
They install a monumetric plugin to integrate your site with their ad server. Then the ad placement too is decided by the team.
They prescribe a minimum of 5 or 6 ads for a page. This includes an ad at the footer and also a video ad.
The plugin also helps update the ads.txt for ads from the website dashboard itself.
The Dashboard and console
The monumetric console gives many details about ads and the earnings on a single page. This includes the pageviews, impression, RPM, device-based revenue, etc.
The image below of my dashboard console shows RPM of $7.8, the income of $333 for 49900 pageviews.
But the weird thing is the earnings are updated after 24 to72 hours for a particular day. I think this is quite confusing and speculative.
Monumetric payment
Monumetric payment is based on net 60 terms, which means they will pay your earnings for a particular month after 60 days.
This is quite long compared to AdSense of 21 days, ezoic of 26 days and valueimpression of just 3 to days.
But based on my experience with them, the payout happens anywhere between 70 to 75 days.
They have different payment options like wire transfer into the bank account, PayPal but not Payoneer.
I prefer PayPal over Payoneer due to the lower charges. So I used a US bank account provided by Payoneer to receive payments by wire transfer.
The payout details are also sent to your registered email once payment is done.
Monumetric earnings
I have tried ezoic before and I removed it from major sites due to speed issues. Then I ran valueimpression ads along with adsense. But, due to consent issues with adsense, I signed up with monumetric.
The income with a combination of monumetric and valueimpression is similar to that of adsense and valueimpression combination.
But with ezoic, I had 300% enhanced revenue. So, I think monumetric yield was not that great or comparable to ezoic.
Support
They provide phone and email-based support. The support is quite good, and they assign a group of four or more people to assist you with any question regarding ads, payments, etc.
Monumetric requirements
To join the program, your website needs to have at least 10000 page views per month.
They have different plans for different websites, as you can see on their website, like propel (10k-80K pageviews), Ascend (80-500k), Stratos (500k-10MM), and Apollo (10MM+).
Ezoic vs Monumetric
I have been using ezoic for the past 6 years now. And monumetric for the last few months. Here is a comparison of both.

You must opt for monumetric instead of adsense.
