PUBLISHER APPLICATION

GLOBAL PUBLISHERS ON GOURMET ADS

Innovation

Place your ad tags.
Log in to your personalized Gourmet Ads Console to access your ad tags and copy and paste the code onto your site. Need help placing your ads? Find help here.

Valuable Resources

Position your ad tags.
Take note of the names of each of the ad tags we provide. They’ll be marked either ATF (above-the-fold) or BTF (below-the-fold). Advertisers prefer to run their ads above the fold, so we recommend 2 ads ATF on a single page. This also aids in higher viewability for your ad placements. Be sure to only use each ad tag once per page and in the correct locations.

Industry-Leading Revenue Opportunities

Go live!
Our system will alert us automatically when your ad tags begin serving on your site. Once we’ve looked over your site, we’ll add it to as many relevant advertising campaigns as we can. When your ads are live, you can begin managing them through your personal dashboard in our Publisher Console. Once you login, you can:

  • Manage your account and payment information
  • Get help from our Publisher Support Team

Once your ad tags are live you can take advantage of all of the reporting and resources the Gourmet Ads Publisher Console has to offer. Find out more about how Console can help!

No. There are no setup costs; we pay YOU for ads that are served on your site through our ad tags.

Providing you have exceeded the $100 minimum payment threshold, publisher payments are made at the beginning of each month. This payment is approximately 60 days after the end of the month in which advertising was delivered.

We have different payment options depending on where you reside and these are managed within your Publisher Console.

Payment methods by country are:

  • American Publishers – ACH bank transfer only
  • Canadian Publishers –ACH bank transfer only
  • United Kingdom Publishers – Paypal only
  • Australian Publishers – Bank direct deposit only
  • New Zealand Publishers – Paypal only
  • All other countries – Paypal only

We support a wide range of regular display ad units, plus high visibility units. Click here for a list of all Ad Units supported.

We provide you a set of unique Ad Tags for your website and these are hosted and served by the Microsoft-backed company, Appnexus.

They manage five geographically-disparate, dedicated data centers around the world:

  • Los Angeles, California, USA
  • North Bergen, New Jersey, USA
  • Amsterdam, Netherlands
  • Frankfurt, Germany
  • Singapore

Each data center has redundant power and network feeds including auxiliary power in case of an outage.

All Ad Tags are hosted within the Appnexus platform.

Gourmet Ads has staff in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia and NZ. We  also have arrangements with local providers around the globe allowing us to  manage 100% of your inventory in most countries.

Because every website is different, there’s not one simple way to generalize earnings for all of our Publishers. Our Publisher Support team is happy to help you estimate your earnings, and provide support to help you meet your revenue goals. Learn more about the factors that influence earnings in the article, How Much Will I Earn?

CPM rates will vary significantly based on a number of variables, such as where your audience is based and which ad units you run on your site. We also take into consideration the click through rate of the ad units. We’ve explained this in detail in the blog, What CPM Rate can I Expect?

Gourmet Ads provides advertising on a CPM basis which is an acronym for “Cost Per Mille,” with “Mille” meaning “1000”. So, “CPM” represents the fee we pay per 1000 ad impressions. If you have two ads per page, then you would only need to display 500 page impressions (2 Ads x 500 page impressions) to generate 1000 ad impressions.

Gourmet Ads works with some of the world’s largest brands in the food, recipes, and lifestyle sectors. To learn more about our premium advertisers, click here.

When you are approved by Gourmet Ads, we’ll send you a welcome email which includes your login details for Publisher Console as well as ad tags for your site.

To get started, simply copy and paste each ad tag directly onto your website (preferred), or into your ad server, then you’ll begin earning revenue.

Gourmet Ads receives dozens of Publisher applications each week. Each site is reviewed by our Publisher Support Team and we only accept sites if they meet our eligibility requirements.

Approval typically takes no more than one week, allowing our team time to ensure there is an appropriate balance of advertisers to publishers.

Priority is given to sites that:
a) Have two ad units above-the-fold (we prefer a 728×90 and 300×250)
b) Allow at least two high visibility ad units
c) Have published a privacy policy and provided the link to us
