Are direct sales still a viable method of ad monetization?

While the vast majority of digital advertising is now done via automated and highly modern methods like programmatic advertising, direct-sold ads remain a key part of many publishers' ad monetization strategies.

There's a great reason for that: Direct sales can lead to higher CPMs for every ad impression. When you have enough brand recognition as a publisher to get the attention of advertisers or direct buyers, you can command higher prices for the privilege of reaching your unique audience.

What tools will I need to monetize my website with ads?

The tools you will need to monetize your website with ads will depend heavily on the method of advertising you choose. If you want to go all-in on programmatic advertising without relying solely on an all-in-one prebuilt ad monetization platform, you will likely need the following tools in your ad tech stack:

Can app publishers monetize their apps with advertising?

Desktop and mobile app developers can and often do monetize their apps with advertising. Many of the same tools and techniques used in web advertising apply to app advertising, although their setup and implementation usually involve integrating various software development kits (SDKs). 

While each individual app ad unit, tool, and demand source may look somewhat different for in-app advertising compared to web advertising, an app monetization strategy is just as important a source of revenue for many app publishers.
