Platforms like Facebook still allow traffic buying, and many arbitrageurs have created <strong>cloaked campaigns<\/strong> that show different content to users than what they submit for ad review to get approval. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, Google AdX (Google Ad Exchange &#8211; an alternative to AdSense) allows for higher fill rates and better CPMs for experienced publishers. But reaching this level is not for beginners. Because, to have Google Adx approval publisher needs to fulfill certain eligibility criteria, including but not limited Google Ad Manager Account, a Google AdSense Account, a legit website with high-quality content, and a significant traffic volume.
