Publishers — monetizing your inventory
Sign up at /signup, then go to your publisher dashboard. After your site is approved (usually same-day), you'll get a JavaScript ad tag to place on your pages. Paste it inside <body> where you want ads to appear. That's it — the platform handles everything else automatically.
No. Unlike AdSense and most premium SSPs, Adverteks has no minimum monthly pageview or session requirement. A brand-new site can apply and get approved the same day. We evaluate content quality and user intent — not just traffic volume.
Publishers receive 70% of gross revenue generated from their inventory. Adverteks retains 30% to cover exchange infrastructure, fraud filtering, and demand acquisition. Revenue is reported in real time on your dashboard and reconciled monthly before payout.
After account approval, your dashboard provides a pre-configured JavaScript tag. Copy the tag snippet and paste it into your HTML where you want the ad unit to render. The tag is asynchronous — it won't slow your page load. For advanced configuration (header bidding, lazy loading, refresh), see the Ad Tag Setup guide.
We support all IAB standard formats: display banners (300×250, 728×90, 160×600, 320×50), native ads, and in-stream video (VAST/VPAID). All formats are delivered via a single JavaScript tag — no format-specific integrations needed.
Yes. Adverteks is fully AdSense-compatible. You can run both on the same page — in separate ad slots, or in a header-bidding waterfall where Adverteks competes alongside AdSense demand. There is no exclusivity requirement. Many publishers use Adverteks to increase auction competition and lift overall CPMs.
Every impression is scored before entering the auction. Our AI checks for bot signatures, IP reputation, user-agent anomalies, and behavioral patterns. Suspected invalid traffic is blocked — not just flagged — so advertisers never pay for it and publishers' CPMs stay healthy. Clean inventory commands higher bids from quality advertisers.
Prohibited content includes: adult/explicit material, illegal content, copyright-infringing material, hate speech, malware distribution, and sites with deceptive navigation designed to generate accidental clicks. See the full Ad Quality Policy for a complete list. Sites in gray-area categories (gambling, pharmaceuticals) require additional review.

Advertisers — running campaigns
Sign up at /signup?role=advertiser, then access the Advertiser DSP. Create a campaign, set your targeting parameters, upload your creative, set your daily budget, and go live. Self-serve campaigns can be launched in under 10 minutes.
Self-serve campaigns can start with a daily budget as low as $50. There's no minimum contract length — you can pause or stop at any time. Managed campaign services with dedicated optimization support are available for advertisers spending $2,000+/month.
Adverteks supports: geographic targeting (country, region, city, radius, custom polygon), device targeting (desktop, mobile, tablet, OS), audience targeting (interests, behavioral segments, lookalike audiences), contextual targeting (page content categories), and dayparting (run ads only at specific times/days). See Audience Targeting for full details.
All creatives go through automated review that checks for policy compliance (no adult content, deceptive ads, malware, or prohibited categories). Standard review takes under 2 hours. Approved creatives go live immediately. Rejected creatives receive a specific reason and can be resubmitted after revision.
When a user loads a page with an Adverteks ad slot, a bid request goes out to connected DSPs in milliseconds. Adverteks runs a second-price auction — the highest bidder wins but pays one cent above the second-highest bid. This means you only need to bid what the impression is worth to you — you'll never overpay. Total elapsed time: under 100ms.
Yes. Adverteks is a fully compliant OpenRTB 2.5 platform. External DSPs can send bid requests directly to our exchange endpoints. All bid responses are validated against the OpenRTB 2.5 spec, and win notices include full macro substitution (AUCTION_PRICE, AUCTION_ID, etc.). See the API documentation for endpoint details and example requests.
The advertiser dashboard provides real-time reporting on impressions, clicks, CTR, conversions, CPM, CPC, CPA, and spend. Reports can be segmented by campaign, ad group, creative, placement, geography, device, and time period. Data is available via the dashboard UI and as CSV exports. API access to reporting data is documented in the API docs.

Affiliates — earning referral commissions
The Adverteks affiliate program uses a binary tree network model. You earn commissions when publishers or advertisers you refer generate activity on the platform — and when their referrals generate activity too. Sign up for free at /affiliate/signup, get your unique tracking link, and start sharing.
Affiliate commissions are based on the revenue generated by your referrals. Direct (Level 1) referrals earn the highest rate. The binary network structure means you also earn from your referrals' referrals up multiple levels. Exact rates and tier structure are shown in your affiliate dashboard after signup.
Affiliates get: a unique UTM tracking link, ready-made email templates, banner creatives in multiple sizes, and the AI Growth Assistant that analyzes your network and surfaces the highest-potential referral opportunities. Everything is accessible from the affiliate hub.
No minimum. Anyone can join for free. There's no monthly fee, no minimum referral quota, and no time commitment. You earn when your referrals earn — simple as that.
Affiliate payouts are processed monthly. Supported payment methods include bank transfer (ACH/wire), PayPal, and check. The minimum payout threshold is $25. Earnings from the previous month are paid out in the first two weeks of the following month.
💳
Billing & Payouts — payments and revenue
Publishers are paid on a net-30 basis — revenue earned in a given month is paid out in the first two weeks of the following month. For example, January earnings are paid out by mid-February. Payments are made via bank transfer (ACH/wire).
The minimum payout threshold is $25 for both publishers and affiliates. If your balance is below this threshold at the end of a payment cycle, your earnings roll over to the next month until the threshold is met.
We support: ACH bank transfer (US accounts), international wire transfer (non-US accounts), PayPal, and check (US only). Bank transfer is the default and most common method. You configure your payment preference in your dashboard settings before the payment date.
Advertisers are billed based on actual ad spend — there are no upfront commitments. You fund your account in advance (prepaid model) via credit card or bank transfer. The platform deducts spend as your ads run. You'll receive automated alerts when your balance drops below a configurable threshold, and auto-reload options are available.
No setup fees. No monthly subscription for publishers or affiliates — you earn from what you deliver and pay nothing if you're not running campaigns. Advertiser accounts have no subscription fee; you only pay for actual ad spend. Managed services pricing is available upon request.
Log in to your dashboard and navigate to Settings → Payment Info. Add your preferred payment method (bank account details, PayPal email, etc.). Earnings above the minimum threshold will automatically be sent to your registered payment method on the next payout date. You can also request a manual payout for balances over $100 from the same settings page.

Technical — APIs and integrations
Full API documentation including OpenRTB bid request/response specs, win notices, ad serving endpoints, and integration examples is available at /docs and /api-docs. The docs include code samples in JavaScript, Python, and cURL.
Yes. Adverteks supports Prebid.js header bidding for publishers who want to run Adverteks alongside other demand sources in a client-side auction before the page ad server is called. See the Ad Tag Setup guide for Prebid adapter configuration. Server-side header bidding (S2S) is also available for publishers on the managed tier.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and account tier. The bid endpoint processes requests at auction speed (sub-100ms SLA). Management API endpoints (campaign CRUD, reporting) are rate-limited to prevent abuse. See the Rate Limits section in the API docs for specific limits per endpoint. If you need higher limits, contact partnerships@adverteks.com.
Yes. Mobile SDKs for iOS and Android are available at /sdk. The SDK handles ad loading, rendering (banner, interstitial, rewarded video), and impression/click tracking. It implements the same OpenRTB flow as the web tag, so mobile inventory competes in the same auction as web inventory for maximum fill rates.
Geo fences are defined as GeoJSON polygons and stored in PostGIS. When a bid request arrives with latitude/longitude coordinates, the platform geo-scores it in under 10ms using a Redis GEO cache. If the impression falls within a target zone, a bid multiplier (0.8x–2.0x) is applied automatically. Advertisers can define fences by city, DMA, radius, or custom polygon shape in the campaign manager.
Yes. Adverteks implements full GDPR compliance including TCF 2.0 consent string support, CCPA opt-out signals, and server-side data deletion upon user request. Publishers in the EU/UK must surface the consent management widget (automatically provided by our ad tag). See our GDPR Compliance page and Privacy Policy for full details.
