    Most new CPM networks aim for quick money, its rare to find that gem which actually wants to become a decent reputable network.

    I just loaded your site.

    Yikes! I finally got redirected (this is on my first page load) after 500 GET requests and 2MB of data that cycled through 100's upon hundreds of ads. Ended up on an IQ Test site that will not allow you to go back.

    The requests were going so fast in firebug that it just about crashed...

    Second time through, same thing. My laptop fan on my dual core 2 actually spun up trying to deal with the processor load.

    I'd say snoork is about is bad as they get.

    I recommend avoid all yieldmanager networks for the time being. They are having problems with redirects and popups... sometimes to porn sites.

    This is a probably just a small number of bad advertisers taking advantage of the system. All of their redirects wait a few minutes before working, or are at a random interval making it hard for ad managers at Yield to detect.

    I Agree with that soo much man. That is why my network is seriously trying to satisfy our customers, i know our CPM's change a lot, but that is because we have people comming into our network which i have to boot because they have the worst traffic ever. So it kills the CPM's im getting when i have traffic from zimbabwe or where ever else traffic is 0.00000001 CPM. PremiumCPM is really working to get US, UK, CAN, AU traffic. We have the support necessary to make you money, we just publishers with something. We cant turn rubbish into gold. Only illusionists and half the scammers on here claim that.

    You have to just keep in the business, and as long as you are reputable everything will go well.

    Try going to that site and allow firebug to scope network traffic. As soon as I click the link and open firebug (just did it again for a test) the fan turns on low, then medium then high and my processor usage goes from about 25% to 65% in a matter of seconds.

    What would you expect? Firebug is trying to process the hundreds of requests per second as the 0-frames iterate through and load data in the background (including full websites, audio, applications and other ads.)

    I come back here and all returns to normal. Long story short, that site is a cess pool and a perfect example of an ad network to avoid.

    As for yield manager, I am really in a bind as I only have a few top tiers in my chain and have been using a handful of yield manager based networks for fills. Now I can't trust any of them as they are all sharing from the same infected well.

    Adunmedia - Scam operated by UggiTraffic.

    Run a background check on the ip address the site is hosted on and it will point to Adunmedia and uggitraffic.

    ceoads.com are another. They take you to other sites and will also play many audio ads with no option to stop them.

    I've noticed with neoffic.com my site comes up as carrying malware in Firefox. :(

    Has anyone used xapads.com? I've had them on my sites for a week and the stats don't show up on the account panel, nor does how much I've earned.

    And what about Axill? I'm having the same problems with them, no stats and no mention of how much I've earned.

    I heard some people got paid by Axill, but I used them and I was not very satisfied with them.

    Thansk for letting us know about the other ad networks.
