CPM Network

Check out ValueClick Media, Burst Media, Blue Lithium and Tribal Fusion. I'm on the first 2 I mention. Very good networks although CPM income nowadays can tend to be a bit anemic.

You also may want to look into directly selling your ad space. Of course, this would require that you have your own ad server (or a hosted one). If so, look into Open X. Big G has a solution for this as well although I forget the name.

As far as to whether or not $1.2 CPM is high... well, that depends. It may be just "ok" if you're getting that for a leaderboard that's all the way at the bottom of a page (below the fold). Different formats can fetch more. For example, Interstitals, Pop-Unders, and standard 300 x 250 pay much more - but it all depends.

If you get into this game, it can be greatly profitable. You just have to find the right "formula" for your site. This basically involves rotating banners through multiple networks, defaulting to Adsense if necessary, knowing which of your pages generate the most income, which ones don't, etc. It's a bit of work - but again, it can be quite profitable especially for a high-traffic site such as yours.

Ah k, right now it is just two banners (leaderboards) near the centre of two different page (pages with no scroll as well). CTR around 1.7 and 4 percent. Have signed up with ValueClick, will give them a test run.

Thanks

Hi Toby,

We recommend you try speaking with a few different networks and see what they can offer you.

If we are not talking about branding, the easiest way to get network to see your CPM price is worth the investment is to start a small test with them in Rev-Share, that way the network you will work with will get the chance to see that you mean business.

Good luck!

Try Casale Media, Tribal Fusion, ValueClick Media or CPX Interactive. $1.2 CPM is pretty low imo. BTW, where does most of your site traffic come from?

I think you should try Tribal Fusion. Tribal Fusion is best

Just trying to get accepted now into a few, see what happens. fingers crossed!

Got rejected from most, oddly, no reason, will search elsewhere. Might even just sell banner space. I think because the site is only 4 weeks old, so not much data available anywhere. eg. alexa.

Visits
2,586,279 this month so far.

Pages/Visit
2.85

Page views over 7 million. Will get to 10 million for the month.

I'm intrigued as to how your getting so much traffic so quickly.

tribalfusion,valueclick media....

yeah.. what kind of site is it?

WOW it is awesome !!!! i will try do this too!!! how do you monitise your traffic?? CPA? CPM?

That is insane amount of traffic for 4 weeks! Congrats! I would try tribal fusion, casale media, burst media, valueclick media. Tribal fusion is the holy grail for cpm ads, they pay quite well but have really high requirements. The rest are good alternatives that pay a good mount and their requirements are easier to reach. Good luck!
