Now that you are contributing to Sports Rants, you are going to want to monetize your content. Keep in mind that this is a process that you are 100% responsible for. Since we are not aligned or contracted to a advertising agency, we do not direct contributors to any specific destination. However, we have suggestions we can make based on what other users have found.

It’s important to remember the rules. We do not allow Porn or Online Casino advertising. Any violation of these rules can result in suspension of contributor access.

The two most common Ad Networks are Google Adsense and Chitika. Here are the reasons why these networks are not an option:

 

Google Adsense: Some networks require the website owner to be the only registered account for that network, essentially only website owner, in this case Sports Rants, can have an advertising account for sportsrants.com

 

How to Find Ad Networks
