Ezoic ads make my website look like a spammy website. Their "Placement Service" puts ads all over the website. Even their "Ai placeholders" sucks. I do want to make more money but not at the cost of making my website look like a ad billboard. When their charity ads load, they put small ads on a big size placeholder and users need to scroll through massive whitespace. Also their is no option to close the anchor ads when the charity ad loads. Also they don't respect the ad size I selected. If you look at website with adthrive ads, they look professional. Ezoic needs to focus on ads more instead they are focused on so many other things.
Glad that we share some of thoughts. If you select AI Placeholders or enhanced placeholders, they won't respect the ad size. So, if you want them to show ad size that you picked, you should disable AI and enhanced placeholders (which I always had disabled anyways). But yea, I agree that they should concentrate on ads only.
To be honest, though, Google AdSense uses a lot of similar tactics - I know because I have a site which is exclusively AdSense and it has absolutely bucketloads of ads in page, popups and the like. Granted, it doesn't shoehorn in lots of videos and other stuff like Ezoic does (if you allow it) but every ad network is concerned with revenue primarily, not user experience (whatever Google says).
I was thinking about trying Ezoic but this helped my decision. I read through all the comments. Thanks for sharing your experience. I see many are having the same issues.
hi Peter i just watched your complete video and I'm facing all the problems that you told. I joined Ezoic a week ago and facing page speed issues and also origin errors frequently. I have tried everything but am not able to solve it. Thinking to switch back to Adsense
Hi mate, well, if it's been only a week, try contacting support. Maybe not all DNS servers are loading correctly. but if that continue happening, it might be the best to switch back to Adsense, but try reaching out to support first.
I had also thought that I would get the best of both worlds with the mediation service - oh yes, if Google bids more for an ad, then they show that instead. But your point about the ads loading slowly means that it doesn't matter who serves the ad, if it's never shown.
Thank you for your video. I only used Ezoic for a while and RPM was good compared to Google Adsense. However, it messed up my code (I used a static website), which took me forever, but I was still not able to fix it. I had to remove the code to fix the layout problems. My traffic drops around that time, but I'm not sure what the real reason behind the dropping traffic 😮💨
Hi mate, sorry to hear that. The same happened to me but I'm also not sure about the traffic, what's the exact cause haha. Look, at least it's better for UX to have the code removed. Did you use ezoic leap or something? That's what usually causes troubles.
I was thinking Ezoic is the best over Adsense but here is another point of view from you, I have the same goal with you, if I left Adsense for Azoic, it's all because I want to increase my ads revenue and not for any other things, I will sit down and think about it again before I move, thank you.
Well, why not trying it? You have nothing to lose. Maybe it will be better for you. But from my experience with current situation at ezoic, adsense is better
Same story here, completely screwed up my websites, everything has taken a hit and I've been with them for years. Just a thought, I remember way back when , I had to set up access within my Google Adsense for percentage or access (years ago, can't remember the exact details). What I'm worried about is that if I move back to Adsense, are they still taking a percentage from my adsense? I know its more likely to not be the case, but would like to confirm.
Hi, I'm having a sort of invalid clicks because I'm seeing My revenue go up and decline during the same day. Adsense hasn't flagged anything on my site and it's very frustrating since I've tried everything. Do you have any recommendations for this? Thanks!
Hi, I used WP Rocket. It's the best for me so far. I tried W3 Total Cache, Wp Fastest Cache, Litespeed, and a few others, and WP Rocket is the best. But it's paid only plugin.
for me everything is fine on ezoic except the EPMV which is very low Ezoic leap should not be used with wp rocket plugin. Either use ezoic leap or wp rocket
recently am try ezoic but there so much time to take a approval. am cancel it and back to my adsense, the main reason is the pagespeed is way become sloowww....
You just need to change your nameservers back to your hosting and remove ezoic plugin from your site. That's all. If you don't know how to do it, just Google "how to change name servers".
Please my Adsense got approved under Ezoic mediation, if i stop the mediation and close my Ezoic account, will my Adsense that was approved under Ezoic mediation be closed too?
@@petardzthis is really eating up my mind. the site toggle button that always shows in every AdSense account isn't visible in my own Adsense dashboard because it's Ezoic that's handling it so do it mean. Do it mean I still need to add my site manually again?
When I first joined Ezoic, earnings were 30% higher than those of AdSense. But with time, that difference became like 10% at max, which isn't worth it considering how spammy Ezoic ads looked and how they badly affected the site speed.
So to properly disable ezoic is to change name servers to your own host? Currently i just didable ezoic through the dashboard. I wanted to run a week long expirement tò see if my traffic increases.
Yes, the only way to disable them fully is to change nameservers to your default nameservers. As long as nameservers go to Ezoic, all the traffic to your website will still be intercepted by Ezoic.
@@Mia-cutee I don't have too many alternatives, and adsense at least doesn't break the speed of my website.. If I'll ever be able, I'll apply to some better ad network. No, adsense doesn't have video ads. I think Google Ad Manager should have that..
Ezoic are now allowing advertisers to discriminate against content creators based on their ethnicity, gender, etc. The are allowing advertisers to specify DEI. Steer well clear. I'm moving my account
The only problem i got with them was on name servers, i applied for their ads and they told me to change my name servers and i did so and then after i got rejected, so then i had to change my name servers back to to the default ones, yet during that process my website was not accessed in some areas, so thats the only thing but then i withdraw after got rejected
Similar happened to me and they never had a proper answer to why that happened. I saw some other accounts that didn't have that problem, so really don't know what's going on. Seems like they were playing eny, meeny, miny, moe and pick website that will have lower RPM haha.
Maybe. They haven't really given me a straight answer either. In response, I disabled some of the more annoying ad types because I figured the earnings weren't worth it anyway. My RPM was unaffected by disabling the vignette ads, for example. Now when I ask them, they say it's because I've disable vignette ads. When I show them the data, they have no response.@@petardz
Wp Rocket plugin is not recommended to use with Ezoic. Maybe that was affecting loading times. Also are you monetized with another company? And is your website receiving more traffic now with the change?
My main problem is Ezoic trying to get all the traffic through redirecting even the nameserver to them. Not even adsense requires that much power given to them.
Hey, I'd like to talk to you regarding their behavior in their support community. Is there any way we could chat on facebook or telegram, or any other place?

@@petardzi have already disabled their Placement Service. I though the issue was because of their caching. i will try disabling ai placeholders.
I agree. Massive whitespaces is what I hate.

What are the alternatives for ezoic?
Stick to AdSense for the time being, I have tried many methods but no improvement and I am planning to leave Ezoic now@@shikos2005
What are you using instead?

@@petardz Yes, I click Ezoic Leap... 😱 Thanks for the heads up! I just remove Leap. Thank you so much!
I agree, serious issues at ezoic. I also want to leave it but stuck due to premium membership agreement, the biggest mistake of my life.
Auff, I never wanted to accept that offer. DId Ezoic change positively since I uploaded the video?
@@petardz as far as I know we cant cancel the contract, I am using 2 years contract
and what if you just change DNS servers?@@NeerajMishraBlogger
@@petardz Once I removed a site, they ceased payment for that month.
@@petardz They don't pay your one last month earning 😑😑
I got rejected for ezoic. Now what am I supposed to do with DNS server names which I changed for ezoic approval?
This is another thing that sucks with EZOIC. Even before your site is approved, you need to change nameservers :o
Same situation you need to change back as you helping another person business at your detriment

I remember only having to be a part of Google Ad Manager, but not access to adsense. When you turn off ezoic, they can't do anything anymore.
Hi,
I'm having a sort of invalid clicks because I'm seeing My revenue go up and decline during the same day.
Adsense hasn't flagged anything on my site and it's very frustrating since I've tried everything.
Do you have any recommendations for this?
Thanks!
Same here. I am wondering to stick with it until I reach Mediavine threshold or leave them now. Half the rpm vs last year.
If I leave them (as I am planning), do they pay the current month's earnings?
Yes also leaving Ezoic for all the things you mention and it just makes your site look messy and spammy as hell
if i leave, do i still get my owed amount for the previous month?
Yes, i just received the money they owed me.
Hi,
Please, my website is slow. What software dir you use to speed up your website?
Thanks
Hi, I used WP Rocket. It's the best for me so far. I tried W3 Total Cache, Wp Fastest Cache, Litespeed, and a few others, and WP Rocket is the best. But it's paid only plugin.
I plan to join just don't change dns, don't use leap or any garbage they offer. plain ads.
I'm leaving Ezoic too. One of the main reasons is the cancellation of affiliates but now Empv is super low, so I'm trying adsense again.
Rpm on my adsense is the same and sometimes higher than on ezoic, so just go ahead
Do you think they'll pay the current month's earnings if I leave them this month end?
@@Dr-Sandip-Roy yes
for me everything is fine on ezoic except the EPMV which is very low
Ezoic leap should not be used with wp rocket plugin. Either use ezoic leap or wp rocket
Same thing happening with everyone
But most sad thing is without any reason
recently am try ezoic but there so much time to take a approval. am cancel it and back to my adsense, the main reason is the pagespeed is way become sloowww....

Your adsense account will not be closed, but you will probably have to set up ads on your website again. Didnt have that case so i am not 100% sure.
@@petardz do I still need to go through their review process again?
@@mikeeenyinnaya9 i think not. Once the website is accepted you thats it. You have your adsense account, if its active, youre fine.
@@petardzthis is really eating up my mind. the site toggle button that always shows in every AdSense account isn't visible in my own Adsense dashboard because it's Ezoic that's handling it so do it mean. Do it mean I still need to add my site manually again?
@@mikeeenyinnaya9 then yes yea. But if they reviewed it already for ezoic, it should go quickly.
which one pays more?
When I first joined Ezoic, earnings were 30% higher than those of AdSense. But with time, that difference became like 10% at max, which isn't worth it considering how spammy Ezoic ads looked and how they badly affected the site speed.
This content was really helpful.
What software you use to record
I use OBS for screen and microphone, and phone for recording myself.
@@petardz great, and what software you use to mix and edit? And what do you use for recording audio?
@@shikos2005 i use davinci resolve for color correction, and then edit in filmora. For microphone, i use fantech leviosa mic.

idk why they push ppl to use their dns. just focus on ads.
Do i still need to use the same approved email for Ezoic for my Adsense account if i want to switch to Adsense
I was using the same mail, but you don't have to.
@@petardz I noticed that my earnings in Ezoic was dropping
Do you know any reason why?
Don't know the reason, but even on Adsense earning are pretty low nowadays. They switched to CPM model only, might be the reason.@@mikeeenyinnaya9
@@petardz so it means that my earnings increases depending on the country my traffic is coming from
@@mikeeenyinnaya9 of course. USA traffic typically means the best earnings
Are you on shared hosting
Hey, yes. I dont plan on switching to anything better until my sites go above 50k pageviews, or if i start to having some problems.

Adsense again

@@petardz hi, thank you a lot for your fast reply! How do i get into Google AdManager? you might want to also make a video about that :)
Ezoic are now allowing advertisers to discriminate against content creators based on their ethnicity, gender, etc.
The are allowing advertisers to specify DEI.
Steer well clear. I'm moving my account

Organic traffic is not increasing. SO should I look for another adnetworks
My RPM's went from 12-17 to 3-4. Dismal. Very dissapointed.

Same. EPMV is only 1/4 of what it used to be. I'll be quitting Ezoic as soon as I've found a good alternative.
Ezoic is really doing shitty things .. my EPMV drops 30$ to 6$ ... Are they Kidding?
They are taking too much revenue cut
I don't know what's the exact issue, but they aren't anywhere close that they used to be. No hate to them at all, but this isn't worth it.
Mine dropped by 75%. There's something fishy going on.
ezoic disabled my 2 sites then I never looked back 😂
Wp Rocket plugin is not recommended to use with Ezoic. Maybe that was affecting loading times. Also are you monetized with another company? And is your website receiving more traffic now with the change?
Leap wasn't doing its job so I installed WP Rocket and reduced loading times but not enough. Now I'm on Adsense, no changes in traffic
Great Video.
thx
