Step 1: Create Your Account

First, you’ll need to register your Adcash Publisher account on the platform. Head over to the account creation tab on the Adcash homepage and fill in a few key details, including your name, email, password, and billing currency. Then click the “Register” button to confirm.

Next, you’ll get an email with an Adcash account activation link. Click the link to verify your email address. You can contact customer support if the email does not arrive within an hour. 

Enable 2FA

Remember to add an additional layer of security and password protection to your account by enabling 2FA. Find out more about the 2FA account setup. 

Step 2: Add Your Website

Next, you’ll need to add a link to the website through which you’d like to start monetizing traffic. Add the relevant URL, ownership parameters, and the vertical or niche the website falls under in the box provided. Click “Submit.”

Remember that Adcash caters to almost all website traffic in all major languages. They do, however, withhold the right to prohibit certain types of websites. You can find out more about site approval regulations here. 

Once submitted, the compliance team will review your website. After approval, you’ll receive a confirmation email. But before you move into zone creation, you’ll need to verify your website domain, and there are two ways you can do this. 

Step 3: Verify Your Website

After your URL is registered, you’ll need to verify your website domain. You can do this using one of two methods. 

HTML tag – Placing a simple meta tag snippet into the code of the index page. 

HTML file – Uploading a file into your domain root directory. 

Keep in mind that the verification method you side with will largely depend on your web host. You can use the HTML tag method if you cannot upload HTML files to your domain’s web host, and likewise, use the HTML file method if you can upload HTML files to your domain’s web host. 

Please note: If your site uses an SSL/TLS certificate, ensure it includes an HTTP to HTTPS redirect. You can read more about website domain verification here. 

Step 4: Account Homepage

Welcome to your account homepage! Now that your Adcash Publisher platform account is fully registered, your website added, and your domain approved, all that’s left to do is navigate through the platform, set your zones, and start placing ads on site. 

The Adcash Publisher homepage is easy to work with and navigate around. Head to the zones tab, where you can create new ad units and configure your site placements for the best possible reach. 

Step 5a: Create New Zone

Now it’s time to get your ads to display on site. Open the “Zones” tab on the Publisher Platform homepage. Select “Create New Zone” and find the right ad format to best compliment your traffic. From there, a snippet of Javascript code will be generated that you can insert onto your website. Check out the code integration support pages for more information.

Monetize with Autotag 🦾

Here’s where things start to get interesting. You can either manually select your ad formats and place them onsite one by one or insert three formats simultaneously with a single line of code. 

The Autotag feature is designed to think ahead of the competition. The tag consists of 3 top-converting ad formats: In-Page Push, Pop-Under, and Interstitial. All three ad formats are in one easy-to-integrate tag, where you, as the publisher, take control of your monetization journey, delivering and rotating targeted ads based on your audience’s behavior. 

Step 5b: Monetize Ad Formats Manually

The second dropdown will direct you to five leading ad formats, each with its unique code snippet that you can copy/paste onto your website. The formats are split according to Full-Screen Ads (Pop-Under and Interstitial) and Display Ads (In-Page Push, Native, and Banners Ads). Below you’ll find a brief description of each. 

Pop-Under – By appearing behind the browser window, these ads seamlessly integrate into the UX flow, staying behind the scenes until the user logs out of what they’re doing.

Interstitials – Appearing while the website/page loads, Interstitials remain highly visible without being too intrusive. The ad also has a hard-coded 5-second countdown window.

In-Page Push – These alert-like ads are the next generation of the traditional push notification. They’re well-targeted, highly engaging, and unobtrusive to a site’s UX.  

Native ads – Blends seamlessly with almost any onsite content, generating high engagement rates and conversion potential along the way. 

Banners – These ads come in various shapes, including skyscrapers, rectangles, and leaderboards. They’re versatile and deliver maximum visibility and engagement. 

Step 6: Autotag Behavior/Setup

Autotag has a Monetization Goal where you can adjust the frequency and consistency of the ads displayed on-site. As a website owner, you can find the right balance between increased overall earnings and a quality end-user experience.

As a rule, the higher the monetization goal, the more frequently ads will be shown on site. If your traffic is sensitive to overadvertising, you can always lower the goal and increase your user experience (UX). The idea is to find the perfect balance between the two. Below are three different monetization goals.

Maximum Earnings: Where the algorithm adjusts to display more offers more frequently to monetize more traffic and generate maximum earning potential.

Better User Experience: Fewer ads are displayed and less frequently. This will have less revenue potential but give your website visitors a much better user experience. 

Balanced User Experience/Earning Potential: Ads will rotate in such a way as to protect your earnings on one hand while remaining less intrusive to site visitors on the other.

Step 7: Autotag Installation Instructions

Now all that’s left to do is copy the Javascript tag from the Autotag display and insert it into the source code section of your site. Depending on your site and your unique requirements as a site owner, you can either choose to copy the Autotag code with or without the accompanying Anti-Adblock code.

Check out this article for full Autotag installation instructions on WordPress, or browse through the website integration supporting page for further information and tailored steps to monetize more traffic. And remember to ensure you have full admin access to your website. 

Step 8: Monetize & Monitor with Live Statistics

Finally, you can monitor live statistics directly from your Adcash Publisher Panel Reporting Tab once you’re fully set up. Here you’ll have the essential metrics to analyze and monetize your website. We suggest using this panel regularly to track your site’s performance and collect valuable insights for future ad placements.

Step 9a: Request Payment

Finally, you’ll need to make a payment request to monetize and withdraw your earnings. Payment requests start at 25 USD/EUR and are processed 30 days after the end of each month on a  NET+30 basis. However, you can reach out to your Publisher Manager and see if you’re eligible for a payment-on-demand solution.

You can also enable Auto-Billing, where on the third day of each month, the system will automatically generate a payment request using the payment details you have provided.

We’ve also implemented a daily payment request system, meaning that your payments are always paid promptly and with a low withdrawal minimum. To take advantage of it, head to Auto-Billing and select Daily.

Please refer to the payment request support page for all the necessary steps.
