I'd personally be rotating CPA offers instead of just going off cpm

[vampire3x]

tribal fusion bro

[mtmjohn]

I'd recommend you Casale Media and Tribal Fusion. They pay the highest CPM rates.

[Omid]

Probably using CPA offers work better. If your forum is a niche related forum then you should definitely use CPA offers. Also, you can use tribal fusion which offers good service.

I would go with Adknowledge they are the best when it comes to cpm

[Postwhore]

if you decide go with CPA, check out hasclicks.com, they pay weekly and have great payouts!

[deeguy1]

CPM is garbage go with CPL

[Jac0b]

You can use AdSense for your premium traffic and Fidelity Media or AdBrite for your remnant traffic. It can help to increase your revenue.

[KentLijitRiggs]

Or you could give Lijit a shot...

Have I mentioned we're ranked among #1 ad networks on quantcast lately?

Reach out to discuss further kriggs at lijit.com

Never heard of it before. Are you the manager of this network?

[HasClicks]

Yes I am. We are a new network, but we pay great attention to our affiliates (we care for their ROI instead of pushing for more volume), pay weekly and do our best to bring top notch offers

[Rageki]

CPA offers is better, if you are making that much views, you will get pay more than cpm.

Thanks everyone for your advise. Well Tribal Fusion, Casale, Valueclick etc have already rejected my site.

It's an entertainment related site.

I ended up going with lijit for now.

I would like to try zedo also. If anyone is familiar with zedo please share your experience.

Thanks again all.

[Mike Hlatky]

A lot of people are suggesting Tribal Fusion, but you should check out the requirements first:

I agree with some of the above posters and think you should try and monetize yourself in addition to seeking cpm partners. I know nothing about your forum or anything, but perhaps you can make a lot more by hosting your own offers or pushing cpa offers or something! Worth a shot

[fastlancer]

Consider cpa offers...course you would know best.

Which CPA network should I try?

Check out affiliatepaying.com for a list of good networks. In general you will only want to work with the reputable ones. There are many fly by night networks that are pure scams, so work with the ones that have been around for years!

Yes, affiliatepaying.com is a great place to find good CPA networks.

And, btw, I also think you should give CPA a try before taking the CPM route. Displaying CPM ads would require less work, but I think CPA would be more profitable.

You can also use a blended approach. The nice thing about CPM is with its ease of implementation you start making money while you're doing testing with CPA campaigns.

If you're going to run a leaderboard for CPA why not have a skyscraper and medium square (depending on layout) to make a few bucks while you test/apply to different CPA campaigns.

We can all play nice you know.

[James Green]

try tribalfusion,technoratimedia,burstmedia,adtegrity, valueclick media....if you have mobile traffic you can try networks like adiquity,inmobi,admob…

[moneymakerhyip]

CPALead, Adscendmedia for CPA..

[KentLijitRiggs]

The nice thing about working with Lijit is that we're partnered with variety of companies on the demand side of the display advertising landscape like burst and technorati (and quite a few others) so you dont have to manage those relationships individually.

You also get your metrics in a concise dashboard with actionable analytics all in one spot without any cost.

What are the average CPM rates for telecom website? I've applied but they stated my website doesn't respond, but clearly is working. I've stopped trying after two emails stating that.

Thank you,

No model is “dead”

Some publishers could profit more from CPM, some can profit more from CPA.
It is important to mention that both of these models are a bit limiting, when deciding to set a price for traffic or conversions- the publisher limits the amount of money they can get.

From our experience, at the end of the day, a model that has no “pre-set” payout, such as CPA on REV-SHARE, can get higher profits for both the publisher and the network.

[heinmarketer]

Well CPA doesn't perform very well on forum as people not used to complete offer! I would say go with CPM network which is best for you and I would advice to choose Tribal Fusion which is best in business!

Where did you get that idea from?

[discoveryfromexperiences]

I think ChrisBa has a very good point rotating CPA offers instead of just going off cpm is a very good idea

[heinmarketer]

Well I just learn from my own forum where I have better CTR but Conversion is limited to below 1%! Actually I do trail run for CPM network and I earn more better than MaxBounty CPA offer! Although I might be wrong because my site are general niche focusing young generation readers!

With some good banner testing and rotating of offers you can get profit for sure! You have to stick what works for you ofcourse

[pacelattin]

Go to ComScore, look at their network list
