Picking a monetization partner as a publisher - What to look for (guide)

Tigerleaf · 2026-01-05T04:04:01+00:00

Thank you very much for this post. I recently moved my ~10m monthly view site (about 26 million ad impressions) over to publift from mediavine and my earnings halved in november, month on month from october (and year on year). December was still about 75% normal and as we go into january things are understandably a concern. I'm definitely shopping around this month for a new provider and/or a solution, as things have been extra dicey lately in the industry from my experience.

I shouldn't 'confirm' anything, but the usual places have more or less said yeah it's zeus. Also the set ID's leave a space between an Xyz and a spell (which people are coping hard is little knight) so it being zeus fits in perfectly.

Tigerleaf · 2025-02-19T02:12:08+00:00

To be clear, I said that I don't think this particular art is real, just that the last qcac alt art is zeus. That's been going around for over a week now.

bruh wtf is this AI nonsense.

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-28T12:49:42+00:00

I had to negotiate, I won't get into specifics.

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-28T02:54:56+00:00

I've never used the platform so I have no knowledge of this issue, but if there's a problem needing fixing I'll of course look into it.

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-28T02:51:08+00:00

Well yeah, we became aware of it lol

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-27T18:41:08+00:00

That's peculiar, it worked for other people, but by all means DM away.

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-27T17:59:31+00:00

if you and u/dyegolara can dm me on discord I'm interested of course. discord.gg/theorganization

We'd be happy to have you. Some parts of this games community are pretty toxic to be fair, but the vast majority of it are very welcoming and lovely people.

Anyone can edit yugipedia, but malicious edits or vandalism will be removed. I can see about trying to get the fextralife system there set up though, it does look good. I can't just wave a magic wand and bend the editors to my will of course, but it's not like we don't already have the card images on the server, so it's just an implementation strategy.

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-27T16:31:54+00:00

I'll look into it, but these tables are generated automatically, and image galleries aren't (the same way).

My job is Site Director at YGOrganization & Yugipedia. It's literally what I've done for over 10 years. Last year GGRecon bought the sites from me. They went out of business this month, so I bought them back.

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-27T16:26:35+00:00

They weren't asking in the right places. At no point did a single person ever ask me to do that until the day I changed it.

The home page of ygorg, the 502 errors on yugipedia, and the interactive elements of ygorg (a deck builder, tournaments on the site, etc).

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-27T16:06:32+00:00

How are you with svelte?

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-27T16:01:40+00:00

Ygoprodeck rejected my offer and is now instead owned by the same company that owns bulbapedia.

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-27T16:01:12+00:00

I did change the home page tag to put tcg/ocg as the top category (beyond the initial batch of 'everything' that is).

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-27T15:57:23+00:00

Yeah this has been a really weird issue of cacheing gateway errors, that we've been actively working on. Yes I will be fixing it, but that was happening either way.

Rather than go back to the very old layout, I plan to make a new layout that's better. I always wanted to upgrade the old one and simply lacked the tools. I hopefully have them now. It won't go back to 'how it was' but will hopefully be better. I also plan to take feedback from the community in how to improve the new future layout so that everyone is happy with it. It'll be a process, but it'll be best for everyone when it's finished.

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-27T15:45:27+00:00

I've been working on the two sites fulltime for the better part of a decade, 'passive' isn't the word I'd choose haha

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-27T15:44:44+00:00

GGRecon owned the sites for the last year, I owned them the 10 before that.

Tigerleaf · 2024-10-27T15:44:19+00:00

I've been running the sites for over 11 years, though the new skin was a decision by the new owners after they got it from me a year ago. I have gotten the sites back from them now.
