Marchex Adhere for Publishers is a private-label, performance advertising platform that enables premium publishers to more effectively monetize their Web sites. Unlike typical solutions, Marchex Adhere gives publishers total control over their inventory, including the look and feel, and the minimum bid prices.
Protect Your Brand
With Marchex Adhere, you can fully leverage your premier brand to command a higher cost-per-click (CPC) from advertisers who are willing to pay more to reach your premium audience. Don't let your Web site's value be diminished by blind networks that don't offer site-specific targeting.
Fully Control Your Inventory
You have total control over your Marchex Adhere-powered inventory, including the option to sell it directly, have Marchex sell it for you, or both. In all cases, you determine the look and feel of the advertising units, set the minimum bid prices, and decide which advertisers appear on your sites.
Expand Your Direct Advertiser Relationships
All the advertiser relationships are yours, whether you sell the inventory or we do. We'll work with you to expand your base of advertisers and create more opportunities for you to up-sell and cross-sell additional products.
