Monumetric

What Monumetric does

Monumetric (legal entity: The Blogger Network LLC) is a full-service ad monetization platform serving online publishers, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Farmington, Utah. Originally launched as The Blogger Network, the company rebranded to Monumetric in 2023 to signal its expanded service scope beyond bloggers to all website publishers and content creators. The company organizes its offering as a platform-plus-programs architecture: a core proprietary ad management system supplemented by technology modules (VOLT header-bidding video player, FLIGHT mobile optimization, the Thalese pricing engine, a custom reporting dashboard, and Ads.txt management tools) and four tiered programs (Propel 10k-80k, Ascend 80k-500k, Stratos 500k-10mm, Apollo 10mm+ monthly pageviews) that map service intensity to publisher size.

The platform operates a selective vetting model, accepting less than 7% of applicant publishers to maintain network quality, and reportedly serves hundreds of publishers delivering 4 billion display impressions and 125 million video impressions monthly, reaching approximately 195 million unique visitors concentrated in the United States (125M), United Kingdom (14M), Canada (12M), and Australia (6M). Revenue is generated primarily through take-rate commissions on Gross Advertising Revenue retained from publishers, supplemented by a one-time $99 setup fee for the entry-level Propel program and subscription fees from the Maker by Monumetric creator platform launched in 2023 for managing sponsored content campaigns. The company monetizes the advertiser side through direct and programmatic buying channels with TrueTarget audience segmentation. With 11-50 employees, no disclosed external funding, and operational geographies spanning North America, the UK, Canada, and Australia, Monumetric operates as a privately held, founder-managed firm anchored by its Google Certified Publishing Partner status and technology partnerships including Confiant (ad security), OpenX and Sovrn (programmatic demand).

Revenue model

1. Publisher Ad Revenue Share: Monumetric acts as a full-service monetization platform, selling advertising inventory on behalf of publishers. The company collects a commission (Company's Commission) from Gross Advertising Revenue and retains serving fees. Publishers receive their Net Advertising Revenue (Gross Revenue minus agency fees, chargebacks, bad debt, brand research fees, refunds, Company Commission, and Serving Fees). Payments are made in USD when unpaid revenue meets the $10 minimum threshold.
2. Sponsored Content Management (Maker): Maker by Monumetric provides automated tools for creators to manage sponsored content campaigns, including media kit generation, campaign tracking, and wrap-up reporting. Revenue model includes subscription tiers with a 14-day free trial and beta pricing for Pro features.
3. Propel Program Activation Fee: The Propel program (10k-80k monthly pageviews) charges a $99 setup fee for implementation, influencer opportunities, and future discounts. Publishers who are denied or cannot be successfully implemented may request a partial refund with $10 deducted for processing.
