Claxon CPM is a joke

    Well I tried out Claxon.com for a month or so, and i'm thinking "Ah this is great!" What I didn't realize is what I thought were dollars are actually cents!

    For over 150,000 ad impressions I was credited $0.64 :) How is that for CPM? Their minimum payout is $25.00 so it would take me an insane amount of time to get there. Has anyone had any experience with Claxon?

    i think they're the ones i tried last year.it was confusing on the amounts for cpm.
    i thought it might be a fraction of a cent cpm and they were serving free popups,so i dropped them.
    pretty sad really.

    guys, i know how you feel... I too have been burnt. I possibly would've had $4-5 for this month atleast with this traffic instead of 60cents, which i thought it was $60. Has anyone been able to contact the owner of this company? I heard about this program from a website sales page, "ArmyStrike.com" and I thought i'd give it a try. The seller said that these figures weren't cents, but dollars (now it's obvious that he was lying). I also heard that some of these ads that are displayed are adbrite ads, is this true?

    That's incorrect. Some image ads are still CPC.

    As for ValueClick Media, my experience with them wasn't so great. Rates were usually hanging around the $0.2/1000 impressions area.

    I'm not banned from adsense :s Adsense is doing rather well for me actually, just people always say to try and diversify your earnings and that's what i'm working on :)
