Honest Review of Indonesian Local Web Adsterra, CPM Dregs?
Just a little personal note, maybe there are blogger friends out there who are curious about the Adsterra advertising platform which is an alternative to Google Adsense, whether this platform is recommended or not, so here is my experience using Adsterra for 1 month from early January to mid-February 2024 .
Adsterra Honest Review

Well, above is a screenshot from my Adsterra dashboard, friends, you can judge for yourself from the total of 12,891 impressions and 1032 clicks that you can only get. $2.9 only, or still under 50 thousand, of course this figure is relatively small when compared to the CPM from YouTube Adsense, which can get up to 20 thousand views for 1,000 views. But if your friends’ website traffic is large and you want to get additional income apart from Google Adsense, maybe Adsterra is very suitable, because it is only a side/additional thing, not the main thing.
Advantages of Adsterra
Apart from that, when compared to Google Adsense, the process of registering and verifying our website on Adsterra tends to be approved more quickly, in fact it takes less than 1 day to be approved and you can place advertisements.
Disadvantages of Adsterra
Even though Adsterra has the advantage of being quickly approved, it turns out that it also has disadvantages, one of which is that the type of advertising offered often smells like adult advertising, gambling, etc. Sometimes it also makes visitors uncomfortable because the ad is in the form of a popunder, that is, when a visitor clicks on a web page he automatically opens a new page.
Closing
That’s a little honest review and my experience for a month using Adsterra advertiser services, maybe you can get an idea about the CPM offered by Adsterra.
