Terms and conditions
While Popcash allows quite a lot of freedom in terms of website category, there are still some factors that need to be considered before publishers decide to go for this ad network.
- Popcash is quite serious about maintaining the quality of ads and traffic that a website is receiving, and therefore, conducts random analysis of publishers’ accounts. In case some shady activity or abnormal behavior is detected, Popcash may suspend the account or hold some amount of earnings.
- This ad network also doesn’t support publishers who send traffic received from similar sources on multiple accounts. Publishers engaging in such activity may get banned by Popcash.
- Any sort of fake, misleading, or aggressive ads are not tolerated by Popcash. Additionally, publishers should take care that all of their landing pages are working, as 404 error pages will lead to a banned account.
- Popcash accepts websites dealing with adult, entertainment, dating, games, and many more. However, content promoting violence, hate on the basis of gender, race, sexual orientation, age, incest, pedophilia, and necrophilia is not allowed on Popcash.
