How a meta tag helps publishers earn more
After you verify your domain in the HilltopAds Publisher Dashboard, you may see a recommendation to add a special meta tag to your website.
This guide explains what this meta tag is, how it works, and why adding it can help you earn more.
What is a Meta Tag?
Meta tag is a technical marker added to your website’s HTML code. It helps HilltopAds more accurately analyze and classify your website content.
By using this meta tag, you allow our system to better understand the content of your pages, what keywords are being used, and the overall content category of your website.
This information is used only to improve traffic matching and monetization.
How does a meta tag works?
Once the meta tag is added and detected:
Content analysis
HilltopAds more precisely records keywords, topics, and content categories on your site.Interest & keyword matching
The system matches your content with interests and keyword-based targeting.Source categorization
Your website is assigned to the most relevant categories of traffic, improving how it appears in advertisers' targeting settings.
Why does it increase your revenue?
The meta tag helps our system better understand what your website content is about and assign it to the correct category. When advertisers set up campaigns, we can then offer them more precise traffic sources that closely match their offer and targeting settings. Because these campaigns are shown on websites where they are more likely to convert, advertisers buy this traffic more actively. And this leads to higher demand and increased revenue for publishers.
Meta Tag → Accurate Content Categories → Higher Advertiser Demand → More Revenue
Is the Meta Tag Mandatory?
No, the meta tag is optional, but it is strongly recommended if you want to improve traffic relevance, increase advertiser interest, and maximize your monetization potential.
How to Add the Meta Tag
You can find the exact meta tag and placement instructions in your Publisher Dashboard after domain verification. Simply add the provided meta tag inside the <head> section of your website. Once added, the system will automatically start using enhanced content signals.
