Frequently asked questions

What is the EXADS email ad server?
The EXADS email ad server is a customizable ad serving platform that allows publishers, ad networks, and email list owners to monetize their email newsletters and subscriber lists by inserting targeted display ads directly into email content — managing both direct-sold and programmatic campaigns from a single platform.
Who is the EXADS email ad server built for?
The EXADS email ad server is built for newsletter publishers, email list owners, membership sites, dating platforms, and ad networks that want to monetize their opted-in subscriber base with targeted advertising — without relying on a third-party ad network to take a cut of the revenue.
How does email ad serving work with EXADS?
EXADS integrates with your existing Email Service Provider (ESP) to serve banner ads inside outgoing email newsletters. When a subscriber opens an email, the ad server dynamically delivers the most relevant ad based on targeting criteria such as subscriber behavior, location, device, keywords, and IP range — in real time at the moment of open.
Does EXADS integrate with existing Email Service Providers (ESPs)?
Yes. EXADS is compatible with major ESPs, allowing you to plug email ad serving into your existing newsletter infrastructure without needing to migrate your list or change your sending setup.
What ad formats does EXADS support for email monetization?
EXADS supports Email Banner ads and Email Click ads specifically designed for email monetization, optimized for desktop, mobile, and tablet. All formats are built to IAB industry standards and are fully compliant with Chrome and the Better Ads Coalition guidelines.
Can I segment my email list to show different ads to different subscribers?
Yes. EXADS allows you to segment your first-party subscriber data to deliver hyper-relevant ads to different audience groups — for example, showing different offers based on subscriber interests, location, or engagement history.
Can I control which advertisers and verticals appear in my email newsletters?
Yes. EXADS gives publishers full control over which advertiser verticals and offer categories are allowed to serve in their email inventory — ensuring ads are relevant to your audience and aligned with your brand values.
What bidding models does EXADS support for email advertising?
EXADS supports CPM (Cost per Mille), CPC (Cost per Click), CPA (Cost per Action), Smart CPM, Dynamic CPA, and Smart Bid — giving advertisers flexibility in how they pay for email ad placements and giving publishers options for maximizing revenue per send.
Can I run both direct-sold and programmatic ads in my email newsletters with EXADS?
