Websites Using Monumetric

Monumetric is a US managed ad network with one of the lowest entry points of any managed option: its Propel program takes sites from 10,000 monthly pageviews, for a one-off setup fee. The publishers below are verified from public advertising records.

What Monumetric is

Monumetric started in 2012 as The Blogger Network, and the blogging roots still show in who it serves. Publishers are placed in one of four programs by traffic, each measured in Google Analytics over three consecutive months:

• Propel: 10,000 to 80,000 pageviews a month
• Ascend: 80,000 to 500,000
• Stratos: 500,000 to 10 million, including sites with a custom CMS, their own ad server or direct sales
• Apollo: 10 million and up

The structure matters more than it looks. Most managed networks have a single threshold and say no below it. Monumetric has a program for almost every size of site, which makes it one of the few managed networks a small blog can join before it is ready for Journey by Mediavine or the larger networks.

Requirements

Every program shares the same baseline, in Monumetric's own words:

• Content in English
• At least 10,000 monthly pageviews
• At least 50% of traffic from the US, UK, Canada or Australia, and Monumetric says it typically makes no exceptions to this
• No content that harms the brand, such as adult material, drugs, hate speech or copyrighted content

Propel adds conditions of its own:

• A WordPress or Blogger site with a sidebar at least 300px wide
• Room for at least six ad slots on desktop and mobile
• Approval by major advertisers
• A $99 implementation fee

The fee is the detail to weigh. Journey by Mediavine starts at a similar traffic level and charges nothing to join, so a Propel site is paying for earlier access rather than a lower bar on the same terms. For a site with heavy US traffic that is still short of Journey, it can be a reasonable trade.

Who actually uses it

This is the most self-contained roster in the directory. Of roughly 700 Monumetric domains, only 13 also appear under any other network listed here, which makes the list close to entirely new information next to Mediavine, Raptive or Ezoic. Nine in ten domains are plain .com sites, consistent with the majority-US rule, and the largest categories are food, travel, parenting and crafts: classic independent blog territory.

What publishers typically earn

Monumetric does not publish a rate card or RPM range. Earnings vary by program and, as everywhere, by niche and audience geography. Since the network requires a majority of traffic from four high-value countries, sites on this list are at least selling the audiences advertisers pay most for.

How this list is built

Membership is established from public advertising records: the standardised files and tags that networks and publishers maintain so advertisers can confirm who is authorised to sell a site's inventory. Nothing here is self-reported by the site, and nothing is inferred from how a page looks.

Records are cleaned before they reach this list. Monumetric's records carried 28 internal test accounts, more than any other network in the directory, with names such as "[TEST] Monu engineering team" and made-up addresses like frodobaggins.test. They are excluded rather than counted as publishers. See our methodology for what we check and what we deliberately leave out.

The honest caveat: authorisation records can lag reality slightly when a publisher leaves a network, which is why entries are re-checked over time and carry the date they were last confirmed.
