Signing UP:
Getting registered with MGID advertising platform is pretty much easy and simple. Simply enter your email and agree to their terms and conditions. Otherwise you can also use their social login option (Facebook) using which you can sign up with them.
Adding Funds:
As soon as you login, you will be able to see your MGID dashboard. Before you can begin creating your ad campaign, I would request you to add funds first. There is a minimum funds requirement and that is $100 which I believe is necessary even if you want to test your ad campaigns. Simply enter $100 in the box and choose your payment method. You can pay via WebMoney, PayPal and Credit Card. The Transaction button on the right side allows you to track your balance history.
MGID traffic which is being sold on a CPC basis is perfect if you are looking for CPA type promotions.

Regardless of having a robust tracking platform, MGID also allows its advertisers to have a flexible targeting and time scheduling option as you can see below.
Once you have created your ad campaign and added all your tracking options, you can save your campaign and continue.
Creating Ad:
Now that you have created your ad campaign, it is time to create ad unit. This is what going to be displayed on publisher’s website. I have created a new ad for content promotion as shown below. Choose your desired category based on your content that you are going to promote. Price of per click is set based on Cents. This usually is 4.5 to 5 cents which is really good.
Tips to notice:
- Make sure your Title is short and catchy.
- Be creative and add image that attracts the visitor’s attention.
- The title should make the visitor understand about the product or service as soon as they see it.
Ads that gets Rejected:
- Misleading or teasing titles and advertising texts

Ad Units Page:
Once you have created your new ad, you will be taken to the “Ad units” page where you can see your individual ad and basic data per ad.
Reporting:
I have taken a screen-grab from an earlier ad campaign for the sake of this review. As you can see in the below picture, the platform allows you to breakdown your daily data. You can breakdown your data by country, region, operating system or simply by individual ads. This breakdown of report will help you understand which source of traffic is performing well for your ad.
Here is something more about the daily statistics of your ad units. With the extensive reporting system you can compare your KPI, export your data, see your daily summary of data and also you can check the detailed statistics for each date.
This is what your actual dashboard will look like. You can track your ad campaigns, number of clicks received, amount of money spent on a campaign, you can track your conversions if you are creating product promotion ad campaign. The dashboard gives you direct access to all your campaigns and ad units.
