How long does it take for my website to display ad units after adding the widget?

After you sign up, Insticator will begin its ad unit configuration process. Depending on the site, this process usually can take up to 24 hours. If you do not see ads within 24 hours please reach out to our support team.

Once your ads are showing, revenue will be generated. Please note that every day revenue from the prior day is updated to your dashboard at 5pm EST.

What is the difference between a pageview and an ad impression?

In digital advertising, the difference between a pageview and an ad impression is commonly confused.

A pageview counts whenever a web page starts loading onto a visitor’s screen; this triggers a “Page Visit Event” in analytical web tools such as Google Analytics. Pageviews, however, do not necessarily trigger an ad impression since ad impressions are counted whenever an ad unit loads onto a web page.

For more information, read about the difference here.

Don’t be alarmed if you don’t immediately see earnings on your dashboard.
Though your website will begin to generate revenue once it’s configured to display ads, there is a standard 24-hour delay before earning metrics are updated in your Insticator account.

Each day, revenue from the prior day is added into your dashboard at 5pm EST.

Reviews

Insticator needs better service support.

thedailyhashtag November 11, 2017

After 2 weeks of using the FREE version their customer support sends you this email advising you to upload a TXT file for the plugin to work better. The catch is in order to upload this file you MUST pay a subscription to WP FILE Admin. The customer support for this plugin is a bit frustrating to deal with. However the CEO personally reached out to offer his assistance and to resolve.

So good

Insticator is a top ad network and make to earn

Terrific plugin outstanding customer service

fiftiesweb December 28, 2016

Insticator displays ads from top notch companies and pays some of the highest CPMs in the industry. The two biggest things to me that were unusual in the industry were the use of quizzes to catch the consumer’s attention and their outstanding customer service. I have never experienced customer service equal to the help and support I received from Insticator. Installing the plugin was done for me by their CS team and since then it has just worked. No tweaking no bugs nothing but displaying top quality ads on my WP site.

Excelent Ad network with good user engagement idea

linuxnix December 22, 2016

When they contacted first, I was bit reluctant as we used to get many unwanted ads from many people. After couple e-mail interactions I agreed to keep their ads for one month and after I never felt removing their ads from my site. I using them for almost 10 months now. They are very helpful people and they are just an e-mail away. Thanks guys for quick support which I got from you. Last but not least their prompt payment.

Insticator is definitely a top tier Ad networks especially with their new plugin

lavish1 December 21, 2016

I’ve been working with Insticator for over a year and half now. They have been nothing, but helpful through that time. Their plugin serves as a good way to boost revenue and engagement for any website. For those new publishers out there that worry about trying other ad networks. Not to worry Insticator is a great first network to work with. They always pay on time and very courteous your needs.
