Jetpack Ads vs Adsense, Which is Better, A Real Story

I am writing this review after the experience of two months with jetpackads, or known as wordads. You have to read this complete article for real time experience where I asked almost every question to wordads team, and Now I am very happy.

Why I joined Wordads

I received invitation from jetpackads to join their monetization program.

I received this email from Jetpack Team member: Later I found it very true.

This is Denis from the Jetpack Ads team, and I’m reaching out to you today because I noticed that your site meets the requirements for inclusion in our ads program – a program that can help you more effectively monetize your site.

It’s called Jetpack Ads.

This program is designed to work smoothly with the Jetpack plugin, so it’s simple to set up –, and we’ve found that it generates more revenue than Google AdSense, or Google AdX. Depending on the specific website, revenue uplift can be up to 300%, and sometimes even more. We work with more than 50 advertising demand partners in addition to Google, doing all the negotiating on your behalf, to get you the best ads at the best rates. That way, you can focus on what you do best… building your audience.

What I’d like to add is that with Jetpack you can try our monetization program without changing your current ad configuration. I’ll help you set up a couple of new ad placements on your site, and you’ll be able to compare our solution with an ad partner you use.

If you’re interested, simply reply to this email – I’ll be glad to share more details, and answer any questions.

Thanks,

Before that I read many bad reviews about wordads so I wrote this answer to above email.

Dear,
Thank you very much for your email. The day i listened about the jetpack_ads I was stood up on my seat, and feeling extremely happy. Further to get started I decided to search, and explore more about this monetization program, and i could not find any good news but it is just a regular low paying platform.

Anyhow I am feeling honor to receive this email (I do respect the wordpress team), and I will welcome any testing opportunity.

Warm Regards,

Payment Methods for WordAds, and Configuration help Questions were asked

Hi, Thank you very much for such a marvelous offer. I just activated the ads on top of posts/pages, and bottom of posts/pages. but I am a little confused because now content is not visible to visitors as it should be.

It looks like too many ads. Please check, and suggest.

Further to this, how about your payment methods. Paypal is only one solution, or other ways are there. I have no account with papal, and it may not be opened.

Warm Regards,

Muhammad Hamza

WordAds daily income is not shown

HI, I hope you are doing great. Almost a week is over, and no earnings are shown in my account. I tried to search online but couldn’t find any answer that why my earnings are not visible even after a week.

Furthermore ads load time is slow. Normally a visitor moves to next pages before your ads loads fully.

Regards,

Reply from Wordads Team Regarding Daily Earnings Report

Earnings are calculated monthly at wordpress.com/ads/earnings, so it may take up to a month, or a bit more before you start to see earnings in your account. But I’ve got good news: I’d like to invite you to our new daily reporting site. It’s in beta, but all data are accurate. I’ve created an account for you:

URL: wordpress.com
Login: ——
Password: —–

Just one remark: you’ll see there your daily revenue only starting from this week. But I can say that for the previous week you earned $35, and this week (Monday – Wednesday) you’ve got $40.

Now, with access to the daily reporting you’re able to try different ads configurations, and choose which one works better.

Wordads vs Adsense Earnings

Keep in mind only two wordad units are published but adsense have more than three ad units with auto ads option. My wordads account was not working for some days during this month as well. Purpose to show the below results is to make comparison. Although wordads income is slightly lower but still its good alternative to adsense.

How Much I will Earn from Wordads, Reply from Wordads Team

Sounds interesting. That’s true that different sites with different audience can have a different income.
Also the revenue depends on various of things: Geo, devices (desktop / mobile / Android / iOS) etc.

We could run a test for a couple of weeks, and then you’ll be able to compare our solution with ad partners you use.

Does that sound acceptable to you?

Thank you, and have a good week,
