Publisher, Advertiser, Ad Network�
A �publisher� is a person who owns a web page, site or blog on which (s)he allows ads to be displayed. An �advertiser� is the entity whose ads appear on that page. The �ad network� is the intermediate person who has linked pacts with both publishers and advertisers and facilitate the creation, feeding, monitoring and payments of ads. Basically ad networks manage both advertisers and publishers. Advertisers pay ad networks for displaying their ads, ad networks use their publisher network to display these ads and pays publishers part of the money that they got from advertisers. This triangular love story works great for all involved parties!
