This week, we are releasing Promoted Content, a new feature that will help you earn revenue from your website by integrating relevant sponsored content from third party advertisers into the Related Content app. These high-quality native ads are mobile responsive and accommodate any site layout. Plus, because of our large network of sites, we are able to negotiate better rates with our advertising partners, so you get a greater return when you use our apps.

We activated the app settings today, so you can make changes, add your payment information and locate revenue reporting before ads become available. Read on to find out how to access the app controls today and, as always, feel free to send us an email if you need help!
