Getting started & integration All products
How do I apply?
Submit one application with your site or app and the products you’re interested in. You can add products from any product page, the live ad demo or the product directory. We review your property and reply with eligibility and next steps.
How is each product installed?
It depends on the product: a site tag, a plugin, an SDK, a feed or an API. Each product page lists its integration method, and your property review confirms what applies to your setup.
Will new products work with my current ad partners?
Compatibility is checked during review. Some products, such as Underdog Media Supplemental Monetization, are designed to run alongside existing partners; others replace a placement you already have. Each product page notes what we check.
Do I need a separate account for each product?
Yes. Monetize.com brings the products together for discovery and applications, but accounts, reporting and payouts stay with each product. Publisher Login sends you to the right sign-in.
