Niche (a.k.a. vertical) ad networks are dedicated to delivering advertising to a specific audience and as a result have a few advantages for both advertisers and publishers compared to the larger, more generalized ad networks such as Google AdSense and Yahoo! Advertising.

Advertisers benefit from niche ad networks because they help them reach a more targeted and informed audience, even though the overall impressions may be lower. Publishers on the other hand, typically witness higher click through on the ads, which translates to higher revenue.

Here are a few niche ad health and fitness ad networks that may be worth trying out if you publish fitness-related content.

With over 1, 000 websites in their network, Adprime Health is one of the largest ad networks that target the health market online. Some of the websites in their network include My Health News Daily, MedHelp, Mothering, DailyRX, About.com, The Diabetes Daily, and more.

Adprime Health network promises a higher ROI by filling up your ad inventory with relevant and high-quality ads from advertisers in the health and medicine niche.

Adprime offers multiple display, video, and mobile ad formats such as standard IAB ad units, rich media units, prestitials, interstitials, in-banner video, mobile display units, and more.

Healthy Ads is a targeted fitness and health ad network which promises to serve high-quality ads which do not derail your website’s experience.

Typically, larger ad networks have a low entry barrier when it comes to ad approval because their operation is geared towards serving as many ads they possibly can.

This may become problematic for fitness bloggers if the ads that are displayed on their website are totally out-of-sync with their content; imagine an ad for some spurious weight loss pills being displayed right next to a post that shuns fitness fads. Healthy Ads eliminates such problems by implementing tighter quality control during ad approval.

eHealthcare Solutions is an ad network that represents highly targeted websites to advertisers in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.

They offer a complete advertising solution including ad delivery, informed targeting technology, ad trafficking, campaign optimization, sales & client management, online reporting, billing & collections, and research.
