TryAds described itself as a private international ad market with high eCPM for publishers. It was one of the most-reviewed AdSense alternatives on SiteAdWiki in 2014, mostly because it accepted almost everyone.
What TryAds offered
- Easy to join. No minimum or maximum traffic requirement; any webmaster could monetize a site.
- Reporting and blocking. Detailed reports and the option to block unwanted campaigns, a feature many small networks did not offer.
- Simple setup. A one-line ad code, no programming knowledge needed.

Small networks and blocking controls
For publishers in entertainment and sports, campaign blocking is more than a nice extra. It decides which verticals appear on your pages. Some publishers block gambling ads entirely; others do the opposite and want casino and betting campaigns, because they pay some of the highest CPMs available to small sites. A network that lets you choose is worth more than one that pays a few cents more on paper. We cover how publishers decide in casino affiliate programs: revenue share vs CPA.
Status: TryAds is no longer one of the networks we recommend, and many small networks from that era have closed. For current alternatives, start with our AdSense alternatives roundup.
