What is MOG Music Network (MMN)?

Featuring over 1,700 sites and reaching more than 49 million people each month, MMN is the web’s leading independent network of music and entertainment sites. The MMN team sells and executes advertising campaigns with top brands and implements them across sites in the network. MMN publishers also earn money by promoting MOG’s award winning music service through the MOG Affiliate Program (find out more at http://mog.com/affiliates) and increase traffic by participating in the MMN content syndication program.

How does the advertising portion of MMN work?

Premier brand advertisers want to reach the audience of music and entertainment enthusiasts that MMN sites attract. MMN builds and executes creative, compelling advertising packages, and we pride ourselves on assessing the unique needs and offerings of individual publishers and involving them in campaigns in creative and lucrative ways that make sense for the publisher and the advertiser.

What does MMN require of me?

In order to earn revenue, MMN sites must (a) host MMN ad tags and (b) participate in the MOG Affiliate Program. MMN sites must also (c) implement the MMN Badge, identifying the site as part of the network.

We offer CPM (cost-per-thousand)-priced display banner advertising, featuring IAB standard ad units of the following sizes: 728x90 pixels, 300x250 pixels, and 160x600 pixels. Once you're accepted as a MOG Music Network publisher, we provide you with a set of simple code, known as ad tags, to implement on your site. Ads that we sell (and that you have the ability to approve) then run in the ad spaces that are created on your site. We also offer a variety of other optional ad units and custom site integrations and promotions, depending on the needs of individual campaigns and the offerings of individual publishers.
