Why Smart Monetization Matters

Not all website traffic is equal. Some visitors might be interested in your content but not ready to buy anything. Others may bounce quickly. Monetag’s SmartLinks and versatile ad formats give you the ability to earn from virtually every visitor—without relying solely on traditional banner ads.

What Is a SmartLink?

A SmartLink is a single URL that automatically redirects a visitor to the most relevant, highest-paying offer based on their location, device, and browsing history. With Monetag’s SmartLinks, you can:

  • Monetize expired pages or 404 errors

  • Add links to your social media posts or bio

  • Use in emails or newsletters

  • Place on low-traffic pages for extra earnings

It’s a “set it and forget it” way to capture value from traffic that might otherwise be wasted.

Combining SmartLinks with Other Formats

Monetag offers several ad types you can combine for better results:

  • Push Notifications: Build a subscriber base and earn from each notification sent.

  • In‑Page Push: Display inline notifications directly on your site.

  • Popunders: Monetize quickly with high CPM offers, especially for entertainment niches.

  • Banners: Keep it classic with display ads.

By mixing formats, you spread out your earning potential without overloading any single area of your site.

Where to Place SmartLinks for Maximum Impact

  • In related blog posts as “helpful resources”

  • On “thank you” pages after form submissions

  • As redirects from broken or outdated URLs

  • Within your site’s footer or sidebar as recommended links

These placements feel natural and can lead to higher engagement.

Best Practices for Using Monetag Ads Creatively

  • Segment traffic—send Tier 1 users to premium offers, let SmartLinks handle the rest.

  • Avoid ad overload—balance monetization with a good user experience.

  • Track conversions—test placements and remove low-performing ones.

  • Leverage non-traditional traffic—QR codes, app embeds, or offline campaigns.

Advantages of SmartLinks Over Traditional Ads

  • Works without relying on page views alone

  • Adapts automatically to user profiles

  • No need to constantly change creatives or offers

  • Monetizes even “non-buying” visitors
