What if you could monetize every single visitor that comes to your website even if he doesn’t click any of your banners? Sounds interesting? Keep reading…
Today I’m talking about Propeller Ads Media. Propeller is an Ad network that has been working since 2011. Although 4 years isn’t that much for an Ad Network, they now serve 650 million of daily impressions and have several monetization methods for both desktop and mobile traffic. They aren’t small at all.
In fact, they have so much traffic and publishers that they’re ranked 60 on Alexa (inside the TOP 100 websites with more traffic worldwide). Onclickads.net is the domain they use to create the ads and redirects.
What’s especial with Propeller Ads Media?
Well… while they have the traditional banner ads like every other network does, they have some very interesting ads that can grow your Revenue substantially.
I’m pretty sure you’ve seen this kind of Ads, but you unless you’re into CPA you’ve not thought about using them to increase your website earnings. I’m talking about Pop Under Ads.
What’s a Pop Under?
It’s an Ad that pop ups in a new tab or Window (depends on the browser you use) and shows a landing page. If you have visited streaming websites, download websites and basically any website in the entertainment niche that’s not owned by a big brand, you’ve probably seen pop ups and pop unders.
However, Propeller uses a less intrusive technology called On Click Pop Under, which means the ad is only triggered after the user clicks anywhere on your website.
Think about the possibilities and earnings you could generate with on-click Pop Under Ads. The average CPM goes from $7 on different GEOS and up to $12 or more on Tier 1 GEOS. Most people struggle to get $7 just with Adsense or similar solutions, and the best part is that you can leave your banner Ads no matter what you’re using and add Propeller to stack your earnings and double your profit.
I used to run viral websites and all my profits came from clicks on banners around viral news/videos. Many websites do this and get thousands of visits per day. The readers don’t just come in and read the article. They actually click the video to be reproduced, or click the Like/retweet buttons, or just click to other articles.
And for each one of those actions you could be earning more money without losing the revenue from your banner ads.
How to get started with Propeller Ads Media
Propeller Ads Media is a very quick network and the entry barrier is really low. You can sign up and get started in 5 minutes or less.
Their account approval is instantaneous, they have no minimum traffic requirements and as long as you’re not promoting adult websites or using fake traffic, setting up your first ads is just a matter of minutes.
First, go ahead and sign up for a Publisher account here (don’t sign up as an Advertiser) and confirm your email to get access to the dashboard.
Once you’re inside you’ll have all this options and you’ll see your earnings/impressions/clicks/etc.
Make sure you go to your Profile settings and fill up your payment method. They accept Payoneer, Wire, EPESE, Webmoney Z and a few other. Since many people use Paypal they’re going to add it in the next 2-3 months. They minimum payment limit is $100 and they pay on a NET 30 basis (i.e. what you earn on March will be payed at the end of April).
Next thing you’re going to do is to add your website in the “Sites” menu. Click the “Add new site” button and write your domain name then click “Submit“.
Propeller will give you an HTML code that you can now paste inside the body of your website (easy thing to do if you use WordPress or any other CMS) and that’s it. Your site will be verified and ready to go.
Finally, you’re going to choose the type of Ad you want to use so you can add it to your website and start making money! As you can see, Propeller Ads has many ads aside from Popunders. They have the classic banners (in case you’ve been banned from Adsense and can’t use Adversal/Chitika) and they have Direct, Dialog and Interstitial Ads too. I’ll explain how those work in a moment.
Your website will start showing the Ads you’ve select and you’ll be able to check your stats in Real Time within the stats and Earnings Dashboard:

Monetize Mobile Traffic
If you receive a lot of Mobile Traffic you might want to try some of the best Ads I’ve seen. While Adsense and other networks can show smaller banner for mobile devices, they’re not even close to what you can do with Propeller to monetize your mobile traffic.
Propeller has 2 different ads for mobile:
1. Interstitial Ads
This kind of Ads take over the whole screen on a mobile device to show a big banner catching the attention of the reader and increase the CTR by a lot. If you think a CTR of 1-5% is normal with banner ads, you’ll be surprised when you see a CTR of 10-30% with Interstitials.
Here’s how Interstitial Ads look:
Average CPM for Mobile Ads goes from $1 to $5 depending on the GEO of your traffic. I’ve seen good rates for Tier 3 countries like TH, IN, SG, VN, etc. So I know they have a good fill rate even if your traffic comes from small tier 3 countries.
2. Dialog/Push up ads
You should split interstitial Ads with Propeller’s Dialog Ads. The best way to explain how Dialog/push up ads work is to show you this screenshot:
As you can see, the Push up Ad looks like a notification message that appears as a Pop Up in your phone. The CTR with this ads is also amazing and the CPM ranges from $1-5. As long as the reader clicks OK, they’ll be redirected to a landing page/offer and you’ll get paid.
Interesting, isn’t it? This is a totally new different way to monetize your visits and you don’t rely on Banners at all.
Since most of the apps are promoting mobile apps/services like games and utilities (see images above to get an idea), this kind of ads work better for websites about games and everything mobile related. But you should always test and see if it works for you or not.
Conclusions: Think out of the box
As you can see, there are many ways to monetize your traffic. Most people think of affiliate links or banners to promote offers/Amazon/Adsense, but there are dozens of strategies to monetize your traffic and earn more money.
What Propeller is doing right here is nothing new. Pop Ups and Pop Unders have been available for years with different networks. However, the way they implement it (on click) and their mobile ads are definitely something that you don’t see every day.
The best thing about pop unders is that the quantity of traffic you have doesn’t matter to get started. Even if you have a few hundred visits per day only, and you receive a few clicks on your banners, you can add some revenue implementing pop unders. Banner CTR is not important anymore.
If you’ve got a big site that’s earning $50-500 per day already, then you’ve got tons of traffic that will ultimately generate clicks and trigger the pop unders.
For example, if you’re receiving 20,000 visits per day and doing $200 per day with Adsense or something similar, you could add another $130 with pop unders for a total of $330 per day.
I was recently talking to a friend who has several high traffic websites ranked for terms like “Watch X series online“, “stream X movies online“, etc. and some of them are doing up to $4,000 per day (HOLY COW!) just with CPA and pop ups/unders. There’s money to be made, for sure.
Get started now and sign up with Propeller Ads as a publisher here to get approved and start growing your online business.
Talk to you next week with another article. Don’t forget to comment below in case you’ve got some questions 
If we use POP Ads means the visitors will be disturbed right ?
To some extend, yes.
Visitors usually don’t like any types of advertisement 🙁
Hi good day Servando Silva, i want your assistance i have applied for Adsense twice and i was told i do not meet their webmaster policies but it seems i have done my best dont know what to do now i have submitted my sitemap and AMP and all have been index if there any way you can asist me please do
here is their response…
Thank you for your interest in Google AdSense. Unfortunately, after reviewing your application, we’re unable to accept you into AdSense at this time.
We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.
Site does not comply with Google policies: We’re unable to approve your AdSense application at this time because your site does not comply with the Google AdSense program policies or adhere to the Webmaster Quality guidelines. It’s our goal to provide our advertisers sites that offer rich and meaningful content, receive organic traffic, and allow us to serve well-targeted ads to users. We believe that currently your site does not fulfill this criteria.
Here are some recommendations to help you improve the user experience on your site and comply with AdSense criteria:
It’s important for sites displaying Google ads to offer significant value to the user. As a publisher, you must provide unique and relevant content that gives users a reason to visit your site first.
Don’t place ads on auto-generated pages or pages with little to no original content.
Your site should also provide a good user experience through clear navigation and organization. Users should be able to easily click through your pages and find the information they’re seeking.
Hi David.
That’s one of their typical responses and unfortunately it doesn’t really help with knowing exactly what’s going on.
Try getting approved on some of these alternatives meanwhile if you can and re-apply for Adsense when you have later more content in 1-2 months.
Hi,
Is there a way to filter what popunder ads content my website receives?. Some of them are porno.
I just started jobsearchgh.com and I don’t want to lose my visitors
You can report those with your manager at Propeller, but by the niche you’re doing there i think I’d go for other ads (like banners or an affiliate program) and not popunders.
Thanks man , I appreciate it
Hello Servando, is it against Facebook Policies to use the propeller interstitial mobile ads too? I am using it currently on sponsored ad posts. I have however disabled the popunder ads till I get a lot of organic followers.
Hello Emmanuel.
Basically, yes. Facebook hates most ads except for banners (as long as there aren’t many). Could it get you banned? I’m not sure, but I’d play it safe.
Oh no! Would have to quickly disable it and use only the AdSense banners then. But AdSense picks up too slowly. My CPM on Propeller is between 15 to 37. Whiles on AdSense it is very low.
I use pop under channel in my blog. When i share my article to facebook, people click the article and pop under show. The problem is They can back to the article after pop under ads show when they click the article from facebook.
How to fix it? Thanks
They can back the article?
Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean by that. Could you try to rephrase your sentence?
Sorry, my English is not good. I am from Indonesia
I use pop under ads on my website, then when I share articles to facebook. Someone clicked on my article and pop under ads appeared but my article did not show up.
Different from organic when someone open my article using browser like chrome or mozila they will appear new tab.
But if someone does click from facebook there is no new tab. Pop under ads cover articles
Can you understand what i mean?
OK, Now I understand.
Which network are you using and how are you implementing the code?
I use plugin propellerads in wordpress. I activate pop under ads.
My reader come from mobile.
After my article published i share to my facebook fan page.
Please try to click my acticle posting in my fanpage in android mobile.
After you click the articel in fanpage pop under ads will show and reader can not read the article.

Reader read my article from facebook application on android. After reader click in facebook application, Article not show in chrome but show in facebook app
WHY MY PROPELLER ADS CPM IS ONLY 0.02 ?
I THINK IT IS VERY LOW .
ONLY 0.02$ PER 1000 IMPRESSIONS.
HOW CAN I INCREASE MY CMP/
PLEASE HELP ME ABOUT THIS.
WITH REGARDS,
Where is your traffic coming form and from which geo?
Hi Selvando Silva,
Please can you tell me how you generate traffic to your websites.
Just an advice..thnx
Hi.
Well, i use many techniques but most of it comes from search traffic (SEO) and social traffic from FB Ads.
Great write up, blueprint guide.
I am learning a lot on this blog Servando.
I subscribed to your newsletter though, but I am yet to receive any post from you.
Would like to upgrade my knowledge in SEO aside using Yoast SEO to help rank my new blog: smartincomeoffice.com.
Anyway my question is, can I use propeller on a major blog?
Would the pop under ads affect the reputation of my site?
Also to avoid a Facebook ban like you suggested, if I use pop unders on organic facebook traffic posts instead, won’t I still face a ban since the traffic would still come from Facebook, organic regardless?
Counting on your swift response

Hello Emmanuel.
If you’re using the same email shown here as your email to be a subscriber you don’t seem to be subscribed yet.
Anyways, as for your question:
1. You can but I’d say depending on your niche maybe there are better alternatives less intrusive. It all depend son the niche of your blog.
2. Organic traffic can go anywhere as it doesn’t break the policies, but for ads it’s definitely a no no.
Best Regards.
Hello, thanks for the reply Servando.
I have managed to subscribe finally.
I still have a couple of questions though:
1.Saw that you use wordpress for your email marketing, I searched wordpress.com but couldn’t find it.
2.Do you have products out there you are selling that teach blueprint SEO and Affiliate marketing?
My posts from http://www.smartincomeoffice.com don’t appear on Google’s first page, and I really want to learn from you. All I do for SEO is make sure my Yoast SEO ticks green when I’m writing, that is almost all I do for SEO.
I must admit it is a new blog though.
3.Can I apply for media.net, propeller or content.ad with google adsense ads already displaying on my blog or I’d have to remove them first?
Counting on your swift response.
Hi Emmanuel. It’s good to have you as a subscriber. Let me help you with your questions:
1. I don’t use WordPress for email marketing. WordPress is just a content platform to create sites. For email marketing I use ConvertKit but before I used Aweber. You can find info about them easily if you google search those terms 🙂
2. I don’t have any products or courses at the moment. I might have some later this year but it’s not my focus for now.
3. Having your Yoast ticks green is a first good step, but SEO is a lot more than just basic on-page SEO. It counts for maybe 20% of your SEO efforts but the other 80% is getting backlinks from other authority sites and getting your site out there.
4. You can apply for media net and propeller with Adsense on your site. It shouldn’t be a problem and both don’t have high traffic minimum requirements.
Yeah, realised it. I use Getresponse too.
I was referring to the reply notifications I was receiving in my mail from your blog. I thought it was one of your email letters and a new product by wordpress.
Anyway, I’m still yet to receive any of your emails, is my email subscribed to updates here? I really want to learn from you man, you’ve got bunch of goody goodies here.
Also I was using the official adsense plugin on wordpress till Google scraped it off. So I resorted to some of these ad inserter and ad injection plugins. Unlike the official adsense plugin, these plugins insert ads at places in my posts that could attract adsense suspension.
They sometimes place ads exactly on photos with colours that look exactly like the ad!
It would take forever to manually insert those ads with short codes in every post of mine.
Could you help me rectify this with any suggestion?
Regards
Hi…..Thanks the article and it real help me, but I have come across with CPM in my dashboard, sometime increase and sometime decrease, so I want to know how to get CPM over 10 or which country have high CPM?
It depends on the performance, but tier 1 countries like USA, UK, AU, CA etc usually have better rates than the others.
Also, 3G mobile traffic for example, has more value than desktop wifi traffic and so on.
Ok thanks for the reply
sir i have a blog which having pop up ads, propeller ad…so can i promote or boost poost through facebook.will they bann on my acount.??
No. The posts where you promote with ads can’t have pops as it’s against Facebook rules.
YEAH but inters ads will get dinged by google and drop your web rank.
Depends on the ads and how they’re shown. But overall Google doesn’t like any ads besides banners and their own Adsense ads…
Hi silva,
I am running a online tutorial website….and i am having more social traffic from facebook and google +…
Currently i am using absense but i am getting very less revenue 0.07 $ per day, because clicks are not coming…but i am getting more impressions..
So please tell me which CPM ad-network to use in parallel with Google Adsense…I don’t want to remove Adsense..
Try media net.
How is Propeller ads for you now? I tried it, but it wasn’t everything I read about. Are you still making money from them? They didnt have banner ads for some time…only pop under and interstitial.
I’m still using their pops and making good money from it. I also use interstitials and dialog ads.
I just signed up for propellerad. I put the verification tag in my meta tag description, I verified my site, got the code for pop under, edited the html in my blog layout,paste the code in the content and saved. I viewed my blog but no advert is showing. Please What could be the problem?.My number of clicks is still zero because no advert is showing. I’m using blogspot
Did you check with an incógnito window? Which ad type are you using?
Please can I use the pop under ads with the traffic I’m getting from Facebook?
Hello.
You can’t if it’s coming from ads. If it’s organic (from Fan Pages, Groups, etc.) you can and there’s no problem.
Sir, I have applied for the AdSense and my account as been verified, my question now is that where will I paste the pop under or other ads codes on my blog. Beside there banner ads is not working for now. What can I do. Thanks
Adsense doesn’t have popunders, only banners.
And the first time you need to put them in the homepage of the URL that was approved for Adsense.
Hey man,
I got approved and got the code but i don’t know how to put it (I’m using weebly) so please if you know help me.
I don’t use Weebly but you can ask their support how to add your ads into your website.
Hi there,
Thanks for your sharing
I have about 17-20k users per day, 40-50k pageviews per day
Torrent movies niche, 95% search traffic
For example, if you’re receiving 20,000 visits per day and doing $200 per day with Adsense or something similar, you could add another $130 with pop unders for a total of $330 per day.
How can I get as you say???
Thanks
Hi.
In a perfect world, it works like that, but usually when you have more networks the performance of the original goes down while the others go up.
So if Adsense makes $200 per day and you add another network a typical result could be.
1. Adsense goes down to $160 per day
2. Propeller ads $120 per day
Your new total is $280 per day.
This is just an example, but your niche pays quite well with pop unders so make a try and split test networks.
Tnx but i can’t do it please help
What exactly you can’t do?
Hey servando, can i use both pop under ads and interstital ads at the same time? And can you please tell me, how to post the code it gives when applying for interstital ads on blogger?
And by the way dony know why, but when Typing In this site(stream-seo) it automatically Makes the letter capital.(im using safari/iphone)
On blogger you can use their widgets to add code to your page. And yes, you can use different type of ads at the same time.
Mmm … perhaps a question is compatible with adsense, google adsense is very strict. It combines both companies?
I wouldn’t mix it with Adsense unless you now what you’re doing.
As you said, they are very picky.
SORRY I COULDN’T UNDERSTAND THE THIRD STEP. WHAT TO DO WITH THE UNIQUE CODE THAT I got? what is the use of it? where should i put it?
In the body of your website so you can display the ads.
Hey man. Is it possible to buy clickunders and pops to my website, so that i monetize it with adsence?
Thnx
Making money with Adsense and paid traffic is going to be very rough. Monetize it with CPA offers instead. That’s why you’re an STM member aren’t you?
heLLO BROTHER, i AM USING A FREE WEBHOSTING (000WEBHOST.COM), i AM STARTING TO MAKE AN AD PAGE LIKE 9GAG, BUT I HAVE TROUBLE ABOUT THE HTML CODE THAT I GOING TO BE PASTED ON THE BODY OF THE PAGE. THERE ARE BUNCH OF CODES AND THE INDEX IS JUST A PHP LINE OF CODE WITH NO TAG ON IT.
Don’t use a free webhost. Buy a server and personalize everything on your own with WordPress or any 9gag script available on the net.
Hey Servando, I have register propelerads AND USE POPUNDER AND MOBILE ADS. mY popUNDER ADS DOING FINE… BUT I COULDN’T APPLY MY MOBILE ADS IN MY BLOGSPOT TEMPLATE. IT SAY ,ERROR PARSING XML, LINE 1769, COLUMN 99: THE REFERENCE TO ENTITY “INTERACTIVE” MUST END WITH THE ‘;’ DELIMITER. pLEASE HELP ME, MY TRAFFIC MOSTLY FROM MOBILE
I have no idea on how to use it with blogger/blogspot. That’s why I always recommend to have your own website and host instead of using a free platform where you don’t have the control and the site is not 100% yours.
Esure you have copied the code correctly( one missing command can make the code display error) . I have used it once but prefered the pop-under.
Hey Bayu,
Replace
& with &
in all that line of code, since Xml doesnot understand & it understands & but php understands &.Thanks.
PLEASE i have already created a propeller publisher account but am currently having issue on how to verify my blog url….
i dont really know how to paste inside the body of your website…
please i really need you help on this
Which CMS are you using to manage your website?
I bet a Google search would quickly fix that.
Brother can we monetize Propeller ads in such WEBSITE like related to gambling like sports tipster or sports news etc .
Nd this is my 1st articles which I hv read everything . U r just awesome keep going brother
Be happy
Yes. I think they admit everything except for adult websites.
Great Article Servando, my question is, can i use propellerads pop-under method in my own website? i dont use wordpress or blogger or any of these services, i created my website from scratch using html/css in notepad++ and uploaded it to a paid domain using ftp filezilla. Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can. As long as you paste their script in your website it will be shown to your readers.
Thanks Servando 🙂 also, does CPM price depends only on Location or the type and content my website is providing? i tried to get a clear idea from propellerads site but couldnt find the information.
Here are a few factors networks consider when they calculate your CPM:
– Location (country)
– OS (android, windows, mac, iOS, etc)
– mobile traffic or desktop
– niche/vertical of the website
– browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.)
– Type of traffic (Social, search, advertising, etc.)
So they consider a lot of stuff to set your CPM based on the performance.
HELLO if i use propler ads and buying trafic from some low trafic sources like 7search.com could my account be banned on proplerads and could this methode be a good way to get traffics
I don’t think so. As long as your traffic is real you won’t have problems, and even if it’s not, you’ll just get lower CPMs.
7 search has very little traffic though.
Does this work for cpm also ?
This is CPM advertising. What do you mean?
HI SIR RECENTLY MY ADSENSE GOT DISABLED WITH 1300$ DO U HAVE ANY WAY TO BACK UP THAT ADSENSE , AND ALSO I SEARCHED FOR PROPELLERS ADDS FOR 5K TRAFFIC HOW CAN I GET MY EARNINGS CAN U TELL ME SIR PLEASE REPLY SIR , IAM WAITING FOR UR REPLY
Once you get banned from adsense you never got your money and your account back. So it’s time to move on.
As for propeller, you should read this article and you’ll understand ow it works.
Hello , i have sport news website and it is new website and dont have much trafic only 300-400 per day.
What adsense alternative should i use and how can i earn with propeller with this traffic??
Thank you
You earn the same way you do with any network. Put the code and show ads to generate revenue. PopAds is also a good option.
Hii Servando, I own a Movies Downloading Website. Currently it gets 10,000 visitors daily I am adnety and can easily make 10$ a day… Should I try Propeller ads.?
Yes! That kind of website can generate more than $10 per day with Propeller or PopAds.
Im confused whether to sign as publisher or advertiser.
i see s2s postback only on the advertiser side,and there i see campaigns options.
how to set a conversion as a publisher? im sure its easier than i think but its so confusing:)
i cant understand how to set conversion tracking with adsbridge..and no guides on that that i found.
cheers,thanx for all the info;)
This post is meant for publishers and webmaster owners, not advertisers.
Hello, I just developed a social media messenger website along with mobile apps. Because I just developed it, I don’t have many visitors yet. Also, this is not a blog site, either. It is more like a general site like LinkedIn. In this case what will be the best way to earn money or get advertisers? I applied for Ad Sense and was rejected. I don’t know why. It may be due to the lack of the traffic at this moment. Do you think Propeller Ad will be a good fit for me or try the Ad Sense again after a while? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
I don’t think it will be a good fit. Not even Adsense. Why did you make a mobile app without having an idea of how to monetize it?
Very Nice Information. Thanks for sharing.I have not applied for adsense,if I get this now and apply for adsense later..will google will accepts my request?
When you apply for Google Adsense don’t show any other ads from other networks just to be sure they won’t have any problems with it.
I use traffic exchanges and viral mailers to get traffic. Can I still use pop unders? Or other popular ad services? I am a novice. Please help.
Yes you can. As long as your traffic providers allow it I don’t see why not.
hellow,
How can i verifyy my website on wordpress with propeller ads? can i help me , where i can put the meta title?
Are you using WordPress or another CMS?
Hello,I have a traffic around 4000-5000 visitors per day,im on Propeller Ads,and i curious how much money can i make ?
And i have make for Onclick and MobilePushup
The easiest way to find out is testing it. If you’re curious just test.
Nobody can tell you an exact number as it depends on the quality of your traffic, country, OS, etc.
thanks to your information all ready i use it.
Hey can i use propeller add on this website beingpraneet.blogspot.com adsense is banned currently getting nealry 1.5k traffics daily according to the blogger stats tried infolinks but cant earned much more help me too earn through this blog
I’m not sure if they accept blogger sites but I guess you can add the code in an HTML form in your site and see if it works.
Hi Servando Silva,
I planned to put Propeller banner ads, on click ads on my blog and buy some traffic like 500 visitors a day from the seller on fiverr.
Can you tell me this plans can make me some profits or not?
Thank you.
It won’t make any profit.
Buying traffic from fiverr is going to be mostly fake or low quality traffic and you won’t get your money back.
Thank you for your replied!
Please tell me if we advertising using facebook, so which country that we will advertising to? and what type of contents should we advertise?
Thank You.
Have a look at this article and you’ll understand a few things 🙂
I still confused with code placement. I use blogspot. Can you give a screenshot of example? Where to place the code. Can’t it be combined? For exp popunder and interestrial? And how to use direct code? Thank you so much
With blogspot you can create any widget and just add html code wherever you want. I haven’t used blogspot for 5 years already, but it’s there.
You can put 2 or 3 ads, no problem.
