For advertisers comparing Media.net and Google Adwords, you will notice the differences in terms of value for money.

Every time a visitor to your website clicks on Media.net Ads, you earn some money from clicks and also from conversions. There are many ad formats and types to choose from.

How much does Media.net pay per click?
Publishers who choose to use Media.net often ask themselves this question. Because Media.net only serves search-targeted ads, the amount you earn per click depends on what advertisers bid. The more your site attracts more valuable advertisers competing for ad space, the more you earn. Earnings can start as low as 0.05 per click or CPM rates for ads as low as $1, also depending on conversions.
What constitutes a conversion?
The completed conversion will depend on the type of ad it came from. In most cases, a conversion will involve completing a form, joining or registering for a site, subscribing, trialing or servicing, or purchasing a product through advertising.
You receive both click and conversion revenue when a user completes both actions. If they don't meet all the requirements set by the advertiser, you'll still get paid for the click, but not for the partial conversion. Higher click-through rates (CTRs) lead to more conversions, which lead to higher CPM rates, which lead to higher earnings. Basically, you earn per click or per 1000 views.
