The Publisher’s Shortcut to Bigger Income: Revenue Share Explained
Are you squeezing every possible dollar out of your traffic? If not, it’s time to flip the script. Revenue share (aka rev share) lets you turn every visitor into a long-tail, continuous income stream instead of a one-and-done payout.
And here’s where things get wild: with Monetag’s SmartLink, you don’t just plug in an ad. You unleash an AI-powered, auto-optimizing earning machine that hunts down the highest-converting offers for your users in real time.
You send traffic, SmartLink does the heavy lifting, and you keep a fat slice of the revenue.
If you’re a publisher, a website owner, or literally anyone with user traffic, rev share isn’t just “another monetization tactic.” It’s your unfair advantage. And in the next minutes, you’re going to learn exactly how to use it to stack steady, scalable income. All without babysitting ad placements or tweaking 500 settings.
Buckle up. Cause you’re about to turn your traffic into a profit engine.
In simple terms, revenue share means you get a cut of the money generated from your traffic or content. In more business-broad terms:
A revenue share is an arrangement that determines how to distribute a business’s profits among partners or stakeholders.
When it comes to ad monetization, revenue-sharing is a financial model where publishers and advertisers share the revenue from ads placed on a publisher’s platform.
In other words, when you use traffic (your audience, website visitors, social followers) to drive actions (clicks, installs, sign-ups, purchases), and you earn more than just a one-time fee.
You get a piece of that continuing revenue stream.
How Does This Work For You
- You bring traffic: your site, social profile, app, etc.
- Your ad/monetisation partner serves offers: display ads, Popunders, SmartLinks etc.
- Users take action: click, install, register, convert
- Revenue is generated: the advertiser pays for that conversion or action
- You get a share: a percentage of that revenue (rather than a fixed, one-time, flat fee)
For example:
If the revenue share is placed at 50% that means every sum earned from the player will be half shared with the marketer that attracted the lead in the first place.
So, what is revenue share for you? It’s long-term income potential, not just a one-time payment.
Here’s why rev share is compelling for you:
- Aligned incentives – You benefit more when your traffic converts well.
- Scalable income – The more quality traffic you deliver, the more revenue share you generate.
- Less upfront risk – In many models, you don’t need big ad spend, you monetise what you already have.
- Support for diverse traffic – Quality sites, social pages, and apps all qualify.
As one article explains:
Each party’s share is often proportional to their contribution or pre-agreed terms.
When it comes to Monetag, here’s how you benefit from rev share:
- Monetag’s publishers participate in a revenue share model where they receive up to 80% of the revenue generated by their inventory
- Monetag offers a SmartLink ad format: a user sees one of several thousand offers and clicks the SmartLink. Then the user data is transferred, AI algorithms analyse, and the user is redirected to the most relevant and converting offer.
Why is SmartLink important in this case? One case study shows a publisher using Monetag SmartLink on social traffic achieved 1.65 million impressions, earning US $7,449.
SmartLink alone delivered 89% of that revenue at a stellar $22.9 CPM. And he was not the only one to have such a success with SmartLink.
Why this matters for you:
- You get a high revenue share (up to ~80 %) of what your traffic earns via Monetag.
- You can monetise a wide variety of traffic: websites, social, paid traffic, and even remnant inventory.
- SmartLink automates the selection of the best offers for your users. Meaning you can spend less time optimizing and more time scaling.
