Its popularity has grown as more advertisers have adapted their ads for Content Locking allowing the industry to expand into more countries and create more competitive payouts. Users typically earn more from their traffic by using Content Locking vs. other monetization methods such as cost-per-view, cost-per-click, etc.

How Does Content Locking Work?

AdWork Media’s Content Lockers allow you to customize over 50 settings such as design, offer types, monetization styles, and other advanced settings for your widget. A unique JavaScript code will be generated for each widget that you create which can then be inserted into any webpage, software, or mobile app. Users that access a page with your widget code will be presented with a user-friendly Content Locker widget that contains top offers available for their location. You earn money from your traffic each time a user completes a valid action such as a signup, download, or survey completion. The user can unlock your page, download, or redirect the user to another URL upon a valid completion.
