Its been more than 3 weeks I started using Yahoo Bing Ads(Media.NET) on my blog and thought of writing a review of the same as Yahoo Ads are performing extremely well.Infact my earning generated from Yahoo Bing Ads has surpassed Google Adsense in the past 20 days.

• I already featured Yahoo Bing Ads as one of the Best Alternatives to Adsense 2013 List.

What is Yahoo Bing Ads?

Yahoo ,Bing in collaboration with Media.NET came with a new advertising solution for Publishers and Advertisers.Its a new Advertising platform to drive targeted traffic for Advertisers and earn money by publishing ads for Publishers.

Customer Support:

They have excellent customer support.Each publisher will be assigned a Sales Representative to guide you throughout the process.They will be guiding you regarding best Ads Placement,Ads Type to maximise revenue from their network.

Targeted Ads:

The Ads displayed by Media.NET are very relevant and will be shown relevant to the content.One more option they offer is targeted ads.If you have any specific posts on your blog with high traffic then you can list out those keywords as keywords hints to your sales representative .So that they will be targeting those keywords to maximize the CTR.

• Sales representative will be guiding you throughout the process and they will inform you if there are any violations or anything out of their quality guidelines.
• So no sudden ban to your account as in the case of Google Adsense where all your income and hardwork may get spoiled with that one mail stating "Adsense Account has been disabled".

Different and Attractive Ad Units:

One more best feature of Media.net is you have full control over customising your ad units with different colours to match with your blog design and colour.This is also an other great feature which is absent in Google Adsense.

• They also offer ad units of various sizes like 300*250,300*600,600*250 etc.

Earning Reports:

Basically Yahoo Bing Ads(Media.net) are CPM based ads and they pay you on the basis of thousand impressions.

• CPM may vary anywhere between $0.5-$2 which is pretty much decent and almost similar to Google Adsense.
• Below is the screen shot of my income generated from Media.NET.

Payout Methods:

They offer two payout options Wire Transfer and Paypal.Paypal is my favourite mode of payment as we need not wait for the old postman for check which is very annoying.

• The minimum payout threshold limit is $100 which is very much reasonable and you will reach the limit in no time if you have a pretty decent traffic.
• I have been using since 20 days and my earning already crossed $100 with only two Ad Units.

Do they actually pay?

Yes they pay you on monthly basis once a minimum threshold limit is reached.You can check out the below screenshot of the same.

Yahoo Bing Ads approval process a little different while compared with other advertising networks.They are accepting only limited Publishers with decent traffic from US/UK and Canada.

• Go to Yahoo Bing Ads Contextual Ads then click on request invite then fill the application and then submit for approval.

• It may take upto 2 weeks to review application to approve /disapprove .So be patient till you get an acceptance or rejection mail.
• You can submit upto 5 Blogs/Websites for review.So more the number of blogs you submit more will the chance of approval.
• I will soon write a separate article on how to get approved for Yahoo Bing Ads quickly.

Conclusion:

No doubt Yahoo Bing Ads powered by Media.Met is ultimate alternative to google adsense and its going to be a tough competition between two giant networks.For those who are hurt by the cruelty of Google Adsense can move ahead with Yahoo Bing Ads.
