MEDIA.NET REVIEW: how do I get media.net approval in Nigeria?

I just heard about this media.net someone said they pay more than AdSense. I tried to join but didn’t get approved. please review the media.net site for me. Do they accept Nigerians?

Read their terms, make sure you abide by all the rules and join again.

I’ve heard a lot of other Bloggers complain about not getting approved by media.net, even I had the same issue.

I first read about the program when I was researching for the best alternatives to adsense, then I saw that bloggers like Harsh of shoutmeloud and some other top guys reviewed the network and their earnings were a bit impressive.

Some even claim they pay more than adsense does.

I rushed down to their website without giving it a second thought, Submitted my site for review but unfortunately, my site always got rejected.

After four rejection notices, I decided to do something to get into the program after which my account got approved unexpectedly and you know what? I never expected a reply till after a week but that time, It took less than 2days.

with nothing else to do, I decided to check my mail although not expecting a reply but then, I opened it to see two e-mails lying flat and waiting for my arrival

Before I proceed to tell you some of the tricks I used to get approved into this program with a Nigerian blog, let’s first try and Know a little detail about this program.

Media.net does not like to see other ad blocks when reviewing your blog.
