It seems online advertising can no longer depend on Google’s Adsense for cryptocurrency ads as Ethereum launched a platform for advertisers to reach millions of crypto enthusiasts around the World.

The new plugin EthereumAds will allow WordPress publishers to receive ad earnings directly into their Ether (ETH) wallets, an official statement by WordPress said.

EthereumAds Plugin will enable bloggers, content creators and publishers to auction advertisement space, complementing one of several ways to earn cryptocurrency without an investment.

The statement read:

“After you inserted our widget your ad space is automatically openly auctioned off using our smart contract every two weeks to the highest bidder”.

In an official statement posted on EthereumAds website, the ETH plugin plans to favourably compete with Google AdSense.

Adsense which is the largest monetisation has dominated the ads space for more than a decade though it pays 68% of your Ad earnings.

At a time, Google announced that it would not allow crypto-related ads on its campaign, which was seen as a major setback to cryptocurrency campaigns in January 2019

There have been other players in the market but found it difficult to compete with the tech giant.

This time, EthereumAds specifically promises to provide publishers with lower commissions, promising to pay bloggers a whopping 90%.

Who can use EthereumAds

A statement seen by InfomediaNG shows that the EthereumAds isn’t exclusively designed for crypto-related blogs, but open to any type of content like:

  • General blog
  • Health blog
  • Investment blog
  • Tech blog
  • Crypto blog etc

But from the way it’s designed, it seems crypto-related blogs will enjoy goodwill from crypto advertisers more. It will also be a big win for blogs that enjoy huge traffic in countries where cryptocurrency is popular.
