Blue Book’s take

HilltopAds says it launched in 2013 in the UK, where its operating company is registered. It sells mainstream and adult inventory across websites, apps, Telegram, and partners' social channels, and it leads with its anti-adblock technology for reaching users other ad tags miss. It is a visible presence in the affiliate community, publishing its own campaign case studies on affLIFT. Campaigns can run from $20 a day, and a manager is available at any level of spend.

In their own words

HilltopAds is one of the best CPM ad networks for advertisers and publishers, launched in 2013 in the UK.
