    I need help with this.
    I'm looking for an adnetwork that pays and is not a scam.
    They have either..
    - good CPM rates.. nothing below 0.50 per 1000 visitors
    or
    - a good PPC company.

    I'm just trying to find ways to monetize my website.
    People are able to download new music everyday on this site.

    Its been running for about.. nearly 2years soon. And since banned by adsense.. and with adbrite's earnings dropped dramatically since august.. I need to earn money consistently because of the VPS server which i have just recently moved to.. due to a high usage on the shared hosting.
    Having to pay $38 a month is a lot for me to keep the site running.. but i still want to.

    If you have any adnetworks.. or other ideas about monetizing this website please help me out.

    *My visitors don't seem to respond to CPA networks when advertised.. so thats out of the picture..*

    I would recommend you use adsense or adbrite coz they did really pay and its registered company.

    Theres not many options besides adsense and adbrite unless you sell banner space manually and ask people if they want to advertise on your website for a certian amount of time. You would have to contact the sites directly but its another way to monetize your site.

    It seems to be hard to earn some money running music or movie sites.I think I won't jump into it.:(

    Your only option is to embed affilaite links into your site or offer alternative music product via affiliate links - music is a hard market to make any money out of.

    You should try yahoo publishers, imo the ads are a little bit nicer and seem to be more targeted towards your particular niche
