12 Best Native Ad Networks and Platforms in 2026 (For Affiliate Marketing)

Key Takeaways

• Self-serve native for affiliate offers is sold by widget and teaser networks: deposits run from $20 (Geozo, OctoClick) to 200 EUR/USD (ExoClick), and MGID, Kadam, Evadav, Adsterra and TrafficStars ask $100.
• Published native prices start at $0.001 per click (RichAds, and Adsterra's minimum in its cheapest GEOs). On November 12, 2026 an average native click in the US cost $0.0120 on Kadam and $0.0344 on Evadav; Outbrain's minimum for carousel ads is $0.40.
• MGID, AdsKeeper, Kadam and Traffic Nomads allow gambling or crypto in writing, with conditions. Taboola, Outbrain and Microsoft close most affiliate verticals: Microsoft's crypto rules say "Affiliate advertisers are not allowed."
• Policy pages contradict each other: Geozo bans casinos in its ad policy and allows gambling on its News feed in another article; Outbrain's 2 pages disagree on forex. Get the vertical approved in writing before you deposit.

Where Can Affiliates Buy Native Ads in 2026?

Native is the format that looks like the site it runs on: an image and a headline in a recommendation block under an article, a card in a news feed, a teaser among other teasers. People click it because it reads like content, and that's also why the rules on native are stricter than on push or pop.

Search for the best native ad network and you get Taboola and Outbrain first. They're built for brands. For affiliate offers, such as nutra, gambling, crypto, finance, dating and sweepstakes, native traffic is sold by widget and teaser networks: MGID, AdsKeeper, Kadam, Geozo and the others below.

I checked each network's own pages, help center and ad policy on November 12, 2026: the minimum deposit, the native format and pricing, published prices and volume, and what the policy says about affiliate verticals. Where 2 pages of the same network disagree, I say so. These are the networks' numbers, not our tests. The basics are in our glossary entry on native advertising, and every network we list with native is in the aliencpa catalog of native traffic sources. Here are all 12 at a glance:

Deposits and pricing come from each network's own pages; Affiliate Verticals is what its ad policy, terms or help center say, quoted or shortened, and where a network only names verticals on a marketing page, the cell says "named" or "recommended".

Native Ad Networks Compared: Prices, Volume and Moderation

Prices and volumes below are the networks' own published figures, checked on November 12, 2026; "not published" means the price shows only in the panel or through a manager.

6 of the 12 don't publish a native price at all, so the real cost of a click shows only after you register. The ones that do show a wide spread. On November 12, 2026 Kadam's public traffic page put an average native click in the US at $0.0120, and Evadav's native rates showed $0.0344. At the brand end, Outbrain's minimum CPC for its carousel format is $0.40, and MediaGo's homepage gives an average CPC of $0.40. A teaser click and a premium-widget click can differ in price by 10 times or more, and the inventory behind them differs as much.

12 Best Native Advertising Networks for Affiliate Marketing in 2026

The order is editorial: networks where native is the core product and the ad policy names affiliate verticals in writing come first, the adult networks last.

1. MGID — Best for Recommendation Widgets at Scale

MGID (MGID, Inc., headquartered in Santa Monica, California) is a native-first network: widgets under and inside articles on content sites, with self-serve sign-up and a free account manager.

• Min deposit: $100; a card, or a wire through your manager. Refunds of unspent funds come without fees.
• Native pricing: prepaid CPC; "MGID does not offer a CPA (Cost Per Action) model." CPA Tune bids toward a target CPA or maximum conversions and still bills per click. The minimum CPC isn't published.
• Native inventory: Native Widgets, Smart Widget, In-Content Impact Widget and native video.
• Volume: "850M+ unique visitors monthly", "185B+ content recommendations monthly" and 32K+ content websites, by its own count.
• Affiliate verticals: gambling and betting "only licensed and compliant with regional regulations"; loans, crypto and investments must "disclose risks"; supplements must "avoid medical claims"; dating only "non-explicit"; casual dating and adult banned.
• Pros: per-source bids: "Final CPC = Ads CPC × Source multiplier", from 0.1 to 10; campaign and account blocklists; postback with {click_id}; retargeting audiences.
• Cons: self-registered accounts need "a minimum balance of $650" for CPA Tune; moderation takes up to 72 hours for ads not in English.

MGID's own blog, updated in August 2026, adds that "the $650 recommendation isn't a fixed campaign price or a fee to access MGID". In practice it's the line between manual CPC and automated bidding. New in 2026: the MIA AI assistant (July), an upgraded CPA Tune (running since August 6) and an Advertiser API MCP (November 10).

2. AdsKeeper — Best for Affiliate Verticals on Widget Inventory

AdsKeeper runs on the same technology as MGID: its terms refer to the "MGID Dashboard", and its help center mirrors MGID's. The operators are an LLC in Tbilisi, Georgia and HARDWARE SOLUTION LIMITED in Hong Kong. Its about page says it was founded as a traffic source for the wagering niches, and its policy names more affiliate verticals than MGID's: sweepstakes, and casual dating close to adult, run under conditions.

• Min deposit: not published. The auto top-up article gives $100 only as an example of a currency minimum; a campaign budget starts at $50 a day or in total; a $500 top-up gets you a dedicated manager.
• Native pricing: prepaid CPC, no CPA model; CPA Tune for self-serve accounts once "your fund" is "at least $650".
• Native inventory: under-article, in-article and smart widgets.
• Volume: "18B+ Impressions served monthly" and "216m+ Unique visitors monthly" on its homepage; "287M+ Unique users" on its advertisers page.
• Affiliate verticals: see the screenshot; crypto, binary options and ICOs need "legal team pre-approval"; casual "close-to-adult" dating is allowed in its borderline tier, pornography isn't.
• Pros: a CPC multiplier per widget or source; rules that block underperforming widgets; postback with c={click_id} and up to 3 goals.
• Cons: no published minimum deposit or moderation time; its traffic numbers differ from page to page.

"Potential limitations" means the category runs under conditions, not that it's closed. AdsKeeper shipped CPA Tune v4 on September 3, 2026 and agency accounts in the same update.

3. Kadam — Best for Public Native Prices by GEO

Kadam (Kadam Advertising Ltd, Limassol, Cyprus) sells "Teaser (Native)" next to push, pop and banners, self-serve or fully managed "for free". Its public traffic page shows native impressions, CPC and CPM by country before you register.

• Min deposit: $100 first deposit; 500 EUR/USD by bank transfer, first and later.
• Native pricing: CPC or CPM. CPA Target covers push, in-page push and popunder only, not native.
• Native inventory: teasers on sites picked by category, Mainstream or Adult subcategories; "Domain names are not disclosed."
• Volume: on November 12, 2026 its traffic page showed 71,551,660 native impressions a day in the US at an average CPC of $0.0120, a top CPC of $0.0500 and an average CPM of $0.0250. Added up over its 239 GEOs, the table comes to about 258 million a day, some 153 million mainstream and 105 million adult.
• Affiliate verticals: its User Agreement, updated November 5, 2026, lists content that "may be permitted": "cryptocurrency, mining, and ICOs", payday loans, "high-risk investments", "gambling, lotteries", weight loss and nutrition, adult dating. Gambling and sweepstakes need "at least one valid" license "in any jurisdiction"; adult products show only on adult sites.
• Pros: site and source blacklists and whitelists, IP ranges, a proxy and VPN filter, pixel retargeting, per-site bids; moderation in 30 minutes on average.
• Cons: no CPA bidding for native; its own help articles disagree on teaser specs (a 30-character title plus 70 characters of text in one, a 75-character title in another).

4. Geozo — Lowest Deposit, With a News Feed Source

Geozo sells native and push on CPC from a $20 top-up, with an account manager "by default, regardless of your spending". It has 2 native sources that need separate campaigns: blocks placed directly on sites, and a News feed, added in March 2024, where a news article sits among many ad blocks.

• Min deposit: $20; a campaign budget can't be lower. PayPal, USDT or wire.
• Native pricing: CPC; "The minimum bid depends on the GEO and vertical. For current rates, please contact your personal manager."
• Native inventory: "Over 20,000 Premium Quality Websites", by its own count; its GEO table is "valid as of June 2024".
• Affiliate verticals: "All Verticals are Welcome" on its advertiser page, with nutra, news, finance, white hat and crypto named as popular; creatives may use "long headlines, GIF images, fake notifications". Its ad policy bans sex-dating sites with hidden content.
• Pros: whitelists and blacklists by ad unit ID; bid multipliers for blocks, browsers and up to 500 carriers; [CLICK_ID] and [BLOCK_ID] macros; postback with Keitaro, Binom, Voluum and others.
• Cons: the gambling conflict below; 4 different moderation times across its pages, from 20 minutes to 24 hours; no company name in its terms, only Cyprus law and a Limassol court.

Its advertising policy, published on August 17, 2026, prohibits "Casinos, totalizators, risk based games and betting and their organizers". Its News feed article says the opposite:

So gambling on Geozo is possible on the News feed only, and only after you confirm it with your manager in writing.

5. RichAds — Lowest Published Native CPC

RichAds (RICHADS LTD, Paphos, Cyprus) sells 8 formats, and native is a small part of it: 10+ million impressions a day against 5+ billion across all formats. What it has is the lowest published native bid in this list.

• Min deposit: $150; tiers at $500, $3,000 and $10,000, with managed setup from $3,000.
• Native pricing: CPC from $0.001. Its native beta post, updated October 16, 2026, still says: "at the moment, you can only create a manual campaign".
• Native inventory: native banners, "Web — 95% of volumes, In-app traffic — 5%".
• Affiliate verticals: the same post recommends "testing Gambling, Antiviruses, Finance and Cleaners". Its terms ban "high-risk investments, quick enrichment schemes and financial pyramids", pornography and escort services; dietary supplements are excluded from the pharma ban.
• Pros: black and whitelists, micro bidding and automated rules for native; "your manager can make black- and whitelists for your campaign for free"; S2S postback; moderation in 10-20 minutes.
• Cons: no retargeting for native (push, pop and pre-roll only); "no cash-out refunds" in its terms; its native page lists Target CPA, while its FAQ gives Target CPA for push, pops and in-page only.

6. Evadav — Best for Checking Native Rates Before You Deposit

Evadav (Cassandera Capital LTD, Larnaca, Cyprus) sells native widgets next to push, pop and in-page, self-serve, and publishes a public rates table with a Native tab.

• Min deposit: $100 (terms 4.3); campaigns stop below a $20 balance.
• Native pricing: CPC or CPM; no published native minimum bid. On November 12, 2026 the Native tab ("average rates for the last 7 days") showed the US with 4,207,678 impressions at a CPC of $0.0344 and a CPM of $0.246.
• Native inventory: widgets with rows and columns on publisher sites; "Native ads are always shown within the site's content."
• Volume: "150m Daily impressions" on its native page; its own help center warns: "Do not expect large volumes of native traffic".
• Affiliate verticals: its prohibited-materials rules ban nudity, pornography, fake prize questionnaires and landing pages that collect push subscribers, and don't mention gambling, crypto, nutra or dating at all.
• Pros: moderation "within 20 minutes any time of day, 365 days a year"; blacklists and whitelists by source; {ZONE_ID} and {SOURCE_ID} macros.
• Cons: native help articles date from April 2023; an undated interview on its blog tells native testers to "be ready to top up the balance at least for $1000".

7. Traffic Nomads — Best for Casino and Betting Offers

Traffic Nomads (ACE OF PERFORMANCE, Lda, Funchal, Portugal) is an iGaming network, and its terms are the most open here: after a short list of bans, "All other products or services are allowed."

• Min deposit: $50 by wire, card, PayPal, Capitalist or USDC; "The first deposit is non-refundable."
• Native pricing: CPC; minimum bids only in the account's Rates tool.
• Native inventory: 300x300 native, "24M - Daily Impressions"; its blog places it in "content feeds and recommendation widgets".
• Affiliate verticals: its FAQ says native is "very popular" for "casino, betting, nutra or crypto"; the terms ban pornography, hateful content and illegal products.
• Pros: publisher whitelists and blacklists, bids per zone, S2S postback and second-event tracking; a whitelist auto-update since May 2026; moderation "usually" under 30 minutes, weekends included.
• Cons: a narrow focus; 22% VAT on EU companies without a valid VAT number; the managed service recommends $2,000 to start.

8. Adsterra — Best for Published Minimum Bids by GEO

Adsterra (Ad Market Limited, Limassol, Cyprus) is better known for pop and Social Bar, but its help center says: "You can run Popunder, Social Bar, and Native Banner campaigns via SSP", its self-serve platform. Its marketing pages for advertisers leave native out, so the help center is the place to read.

• Min deposit: $100 by card, PayPal or Paxum; $200 in USDT; $500 by wire in the help center, "$1,000" in a May 2026 blog post. Campaigns need at least $25 in total and daily budget.
• Native pricing: CPM or CPC for Native Banners. Minimum CPC is $0.030 on US desktop and $0.020 on US mobile, falling to $0.001 in the cheapest GEOs (July 2025 table).
• Native inventory: its native page names In Feed, Search & Promoted Listings and Content Recommendations, "1BN+ impressions weekly".
• Affiliate verticals: iGaming and sports, social and dating, and sweepstakes are on its advertiser vertical list; its finance page pairs forex brokers and ICO trading platforms with native banners. Its terms ban "pornography, of any kind, adult or mature content" and "illegal gambling services".
• Pros: a full public table of native minimum bids by GEO and device; moderation "up to 3 hours" in working hours; S2S tracking.
• Cons: a whitelist or a blacklist per campaign, "not both"; no adult.

9. OctoClick — Best for Teaser Traffic in Russia and Kazakhstan

OctoClick (TAHKMEDIA LIMITED, Nicosia, Cyprus) sells native teasers from $20 and shows its teaser volume in a public panel. Its publishers are mostly "adult tube websites (without any forbidden content)", plus news, games and medicine sites.

• Min deposit: "from $20 to $50, depending on the payment method"; cards, e-wallets, BTC and Tether.
• Native pricing: CPC or CPM; "the buy-out below the minimum price is impossible", with minimums in the panel.
• Native inventory: a teaser is an image and up to 75 characters of text, 500x500 and up to 200 KB.
• Volume: in the 24 hours before November 12, 2026 its panel showed 4,143,637 teaser impressions in Russia at an average CPM of $0.1338, 790,664 in Kazakhstan, 533,031 in Germany and 95,029 in the US at $0.0434.
• Affiliate verticals: its native page names crypto, dating, finance, nutra, iGambling and sweepstakes; its terms ban "any kind of erotic or pornographic materials" in ads.
• Pros: black and white lists of sites; {SID}, {ZONE_ID} and {TID} macros for lists; postback.
• Cons: under 100,000 teaser impressions a day in the US; an unlabeled "$0.0017 CPC / $35 CPM" tile on its site that matches nothing in its panel; refunds only above $50, minus 10%, and the "First test deposit is non refundable."

10. ExoClick — Best for Adult and Mainstream Native Widgets

ExoClick (EXOCLICK, S.L., Barcelona) sells a "Native Recommendation" widget with separate guidelines for adult and mainstream native, plus Multi-Format zones where banners and native widgets compete for the same placement.

• Min deposit: 200 EUR/USD for all payment methods: card, wire, Paxum, crypto.
• Native pricing: CPM, Smart CPM, CPC or Smart Bid; minimum prices only in the panel.
• Native specs: title up to 50 characters, description 90, brand 30; native video thumbnails added in 2025.
• Affiliate verticals: "Cryptocurrency/forex/binary offers are not permitted (subject to exception)"; gambling "must be pre-approved, meet a minimum monthly budget requirement, and block U.S. registrations" (terms effective March 5, 2026); on mainstream, dating aimed at sexual encounters is allowed with a "SEXY" label.
• Pros: domain whitelists and blacklists, custom prices per zone, retargeting by conversion goals, S2S postback; review in about 30 minutes.
• Cons: the highest deposit here; crypto and forex closed; adult native creatives must be "simple pictures", with no logos or text.

11. TrafficStars — Best for Adult Native on Viewable CPM

TrafficStars (Traffic Stars Ltd, Limassol, Cyprus) has sold native since January 2018: widgets with an image or video, a brand name and a headline, on adult and mainstream sites; it names xHamster as its largest exclusive source.

• Min deposit: $100 by card, Paxum, Capitalist or crypto; $500 by wire.
• Native pricing: CPM, CPC, dCPM, CPA and "CPMv (Cost Per 1000 Viewable Impressions) exclusively for Native Ads". Minimum native CPM on RON: $0.01 in Tier 1, $0.003 in Tier 2, $0.001 in Tier 3; no minimum on CPC or CPA. Its homepage shows a native eCPM of $0.008.
• Affiliate verticals: "Nutra & Health, Dating, eCommerce, Finance & Crypto, AI" as best suited for native. Its guidelines say nothing about gambling or crypto; support checks your links before launch if you send them.
• Pros: CPMv charges only for viewable impressions; an Optimizer that blocks spots and bids per spot; pixel retargeting; postback.
• Cons: moderation "within 10 - 60 minutes during business hours" (GMT+3); its traffic claims range from "millions" to "billions" of daily impressions across pages.

12. JuicyAds — Best for Image-Only Adult Native From $50

JuicyAds (Tiger Media Inc., Saskatchewan, Canada) is an adult network whose native is a "blind image": 300x300, no text, styled as content on the publisher's site.

• Min deposit: "$50 minimum purchase" by card, PayPal or Paxum; $100 in USDT or BTC; $1,000 by wire. An account manager starts from a $1,500 deposit.
• Native pricing: CPC or CPM; the minimum rate sheet needs an account.
• Volume: "more than 4,000 campaigns are running across over 1 billion impressions daily", all formats.
• Affiliate verticals: gambling "licensed operators only, targeting only the regions where they are licensed"; dating, cam and AI companion services "must disclose paid or fictional profiles"; "fraudulent investment or crypto schemes" banned.
• Pros: the cheapest card deposit among the adult networks here; blacklists and whitelists; S2S postback with up to 3 goals.
• Cons: "Native ads cannot have any text"; review "can take up to 24hrs".

Widget, In-Feed or Teaser: What Are You Buying?

"Native" covers several kinds of inventory, and they behave differently:

• Recommendation widgets on content sites. MGID, AdsKeeper, Taboola and Outbrain place a block of cards under or inside articles. MGID, AdsKeeper and Taboola let you bid by source or site, so you can pay more for the widgets that convert.
• Teaser blocks on mixed sites. Kadam, OctoClick, Evadav and Galaksion ("Native ads, also known as teasers") sell cheaper clicks across many site categories; Kadam and OctoClick include adult sites. Transparency is lower: Kadam doesn't disclose domain names.
• News feeds. Geozo's News feed is an article surrounded by ad blocks; Microsoft's native runs on MSN and Outlook.
• Adult native. ExoClick, TrafficStars, JuicyAds and TrafficJunky sell widgets and thumbnails on tube sites, with their own creative rules.
• In-app. RichAds puts 5% of its native volume in apps; the rest of this list is mostly web.

My rule of thumb: widgets for a story-led pre-lander and Tier-1 GEOs, teasers for cheap clicks and broad tests, adult native only for adult and adult dating. A teaser is the cheapest way in and the hardest to clean.

Taboola, Outbrain and Microsoft: Native for White-Hat Brands

These 3 are the biggest native platforms and the first results for "best native advertising platform". They're self-serve, but their policies close most affiliate verticals, so I list them separately instead of ranking them.

Taboola launched Realize on February 26, 2025 as "a new focus beyond native advertising", and moved its ad platform from ads.taboola.com to ads.realizeperformance.com. Its sign-up form asks for your monthly media investment, and its help center names Yahoo, NBC News, MSN, The Independent and The Weather Channel among its 20,000+ publisher sites. It recommends a daily budget of "10 times your CPA goal, or at least $50 USD", bills in increments "typically $100" and reviews ads "within 1-3 business days". Gambling runs only in the countries its policy lists, with responsible gaming messages and no winner stories "if advertising through an affiliate site"; its restricted page bans 9 countries that its gambling FAQ lists as open. Crypto exchanges must be licensed for the target GEO, and casual dating is prohibited.

Outbrain Direct Response is Outbrain's performance product after Outbrain bought Teads (closed February 3, 2025) and renamed itself Teads Holding Co. in June 2025. Its sign-up form lists "Affiliate" as a business type, and the floor is a $600 monthly budget, "the minimum of $20 per day", on CPC only; daily spend "may be up to 20% more than your daily budget". Its rules close most affiliate verticals: gambling is "generally prohibited" outside the UK and the US, and its rejection page adds that the category "is only open to managed accounts"; "Cryptocurrency is not allowed"; payday loans are banned; and "Games/Contests/Sweepstakes" are on its not-accepted list. On forex its guidelines say "managed accounts only", while its rejection page lists forex as not permitted.

Microsoft Advertising sells native as Audience ads on MSN, Outlook, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Casual Games. Adult is prohibited in native; gambling needs the Gambling and Contests Advertising Program and a license; supplement ads must "Not lead to landing pages that are advertorial in nature"; dating needs pre-approval. In May 2026 Microsoft opened Audience ads to crypto exchanges as a pilot, with 1 condition that settles it for us:

Advertisers must be the first party brand owner. Affiliate advertisers are not allowed.

MediaGo, Baidu's native DSP with "premium MSN placements", opens accounts through a contact form, and its 2020 service agreement bans "Gambling and lottery services" and sweepstakes. If you run white-hat lead generation or e-commerce, these 4 are worth the stricter review; for nutra, gambling and crypto, the 12 networks above are where the doors are open.

Networks I Checked and Left Out

• Coinis: its FAQ says "native ads are unavailable at the moment"; the company now sells AI ad creation for Meta.
• Galaksion: sells native teasers on CPM or CPC from a $50 deposit, but publishes no native targeting, volume or moderation time.
• ClickAdilla and OnClickA: both sell native with a "Premium sites" option from the same partner, TubeCorporate. ClickAdilla's minimum is "$5" to launch on its homepage, "depends on the payment method" in its help center and $50 in 2023 posts; OnClickA shows a native minimum bid of $0.5 on its homepage and an "optimum bid" of 0.05 on its native page.
• BidVertiser: a $100 deposit and native ads, but its native help articles date from 2022, and they set a "cost per visitor (CPV) bid" while its terms charge per click.
• AdSupply: lists native ads but publishes no deposit, prices or ad policy.
• TrafficJunky: native on Pornhub, RedTube, Tube8 and YouPorn, but "TrafficJunky does not offer CPC", and I found no published minimum deposit.

Best Native Ad Networks by Vertical

Here I go by what each network's own policy says, not by marketing pages alone.

Nutra and Supplements

MGID allows supplements that "comply with local regulations and avoid medical claims"; AdsKeeper lists weight loss products and dietary supplements among content with potential limitations; Kadam's agreement lets weight loss and nutrition through at its discretion. Geozo and TrafficStars name nutra among their best native verticals, and Traffic Nomads says native is popular for it. The brand platforms are stricter: Taboola bans specific weight loss amounts and images of obese people in titles and thumbnails, Microsoft wants supplement ads to lead to a product page, and Outbrain bans male enhancement sold directly. Keep claims out of the headline and put the story on the pre-lander where the network allows one.

Gambling and Betting

Traffic Nomads is built for casino and betting traffic, and RichAds recommends testing gambling on its native. MGID takes licensed gambling only, Kadam asks for at least 1 valid license in any jurisdiction, and JuicyAds wants operators licensed for the regions they target. ExoClick pre-approves gambling and asks for a minimum monthly budget and blocked US registrations. On Geozo it's the News feed only, given its conflicting pages. Taboola runs gambling only in the countries it lists, and Outbrain and Microsoft only in listed markets after approval.

Crypto, Finance and Loans

AdsKeeper takes crypto, binary options and ICOs after legal pre-approval; MGID accepts loans, crypto and investments that "disclose risks"; Kadam may permit crypto, ICOs, payday loans and high-risk investments. Adsterra's finance page pairs forex brokers and ICO trading platforms with native banners, and TrafficStars names finance and crypto. RichAds bans high-risk investments, ExoClick closes crypto and forex, and JuicyAds bans fraudulent crypto schemes. On the brand side, Taboola wants licensed exchanges and no specific coins, Outbrain bans crypto and payday loans, and Microsoft's crypto pilot excludes affiliates.

Dating

MGID takes dating only "non-explicit, no sexual intent or suggestive content", and Geozo bans sex-dating sites with hidden content. AdsKeeper allows casual close-to-adult dating in its borderline tier, ExoClick allows sexual-encounter dating on mainstream with a "SEXY" label, and Kadam may permit adult dating. JuicyAds requires a real, working service that discloses paid or fictional profiles. Taboola and Outbrain ban casual dating; Microsoft has required pre-approval for all dating advertisers since February 2026.

Sweepstakes

Sweepstakes is the narrowest native vertical. AdsKeeper groups sweepstakes with casinos under potential limitations, Kadam asks for a gambling or sweepstakes license, and OctoClick and Adsterra name it as a vertical. Evadav bans fake prize questionnaires, Outbrain doesn't accept sweepstakes, and Microsoft treats paid-entry sweepstakes as gambling. Confirm the offer with support before you build creatives.

Adult

ExoClick, TrafficStars, JuicyAds and TrafficJunky are the adult native options, and Kadam shows adult products on adult-category sites only. OctoClick's inventory is mostly adult tubes, yet its terms ban erotic ads, so it fits mainstream offers aimed at that audience. MGID, Adsterra, Galaksion, RichAds, Taboola, Outbrain and Microsoft ban adult content.

How to Test a Native Ad Network: Step-by-Step

1. Pick the inventory for the offer: widgets on content sites for a story-led pre-lander, teasers for cheap clicks, adult native for adult and adult dating.
2. Get the vertical approved before you deposit. Send your landing pages to support: TrafficStars asks for exactly that, AdsKeeper needs legal pre-approval for crypto, and ExoClick pre-approves gambling.
3. Fund the test for data, not for the minimum. MGID recommends $650 over its $100 minimum; Taboola recommends a daily budget of 10 times your CPA goal or at least $50. For the size of the test, see how much budget to test an offer.
4. Set up tracking first. Pass the click ID and the widget or source ID to your tracker: {click_id} on MGID, [CLICK_ID] and [BLOCK_ID] on Geozo, {SID} and {ZONE_ID} on OctoClick, {ZONE_ID} and {SOURCE_ID} on Evadav. Set a postback before launch.
5. Start above the minimum bid. AdsKeeper warns that "Starting with the minimum CPC may limit your campaign's delivery", and MGID tells you to ask your onboarding manager for the optimal CPC.
6. Upload several creatives and follow each network's specs: a 75-character text on OctoClick, a 50-character title on ExoClick, an 80-character headline on TrafficStars, no text at all on JuicyAds.
7. Plan around moderation: 10-20 minutes on RichAds, up to 72 hours on MGID for ads not in English, 1-3 business days on Taboola.
8. After the first cycle, cut by source. Add the widgets and sites that brought no conversions to a blacklist, raise bids on the ones that did, then move the best to a whitelist.
9. Switch to automated bidding only once conversions come in steadily. CPA Tune on MGID and AdsKeeper needs a $650 balance, RichAds native is manual only, and Kadam's CPA Target doesn't cover native.

If native doesn't fit your offer or budget, compare it with our tops of push ad networks and popunder ad networks.
