How to montetize game traffic?

    The site produces roughly 250000 page views per day (this ends up to be around 500k impressions). So far I'm using Morning Falls network and it pays only 0.08cpm even though, I have almost 15% CTR on the front page and 5% in game (the ads are very eye catching i suppose). We are expecting to double in traffic over the next week and we're wondering whats the best way to monetize this. I know i wont hold that CTR for long so CPM networks should do the best here.

    TRAFFIC BREAKDOWN
    USA 30%
    CANADA/UK 10%
    EUROPE 30%
    REST OF THE WORLD 30%

    I do use AdsDaq but i don't have RESULTS for that yet, and it only monetizes USA traffic.

    What networks do you think would accept my type of game?

    Thanks for any help!

    I use AdBrite for my arcade sites and I have made a pretty good profit even though I have less hits than what you do. I don't know the exact rates, but I am getting about 1 penny for every 1000 hits or so, and then more for clicks.

    Find a CPM network that pays better than 8 cents per thousand. Their are lots that pay over $1.

    Elvis, If you add me on one of the following, i can teach you methods of monetizing your mmorpg.
    I may even be interested in advertising on your site myself. :)

    It would be silly to use Zango on an MMORPG.

    How so? Sure, it would be annoying but it would make good revenue.

    Try to promote "Try-buy" casual games from Trymedia.
    You should get very good results with your audience.
