Hello, i have a celebrity blog with nearly 1900 articles and counting. My content is 100% original all written by me, it's no big deal to write on gossip and rumors i am ranking 61.000 in Alexa and i get about 7000 unique visitors a day and rising i am using adsense but would like to add some cpm networks as well: currently i am using xtend and redux media but they're really low : 0.08 cpm. i get 50% traffic from USA, and the rest from Europe and Asia. what are the best cpm networks you recommend? i would like at least a 0.5 cpm to see a difference from what i am using now. thanks
Look for CPA offers related to your niche and promote them through your blog. Here is a good site that can help you find the offers offervault.com (Not my site or affiliate link)
You may consider CPA related to these niches. 1. Online Dating (Pay per lead) 2. Gift 3. Fashion Cloth 4. Community (Pay per lead) 5. Diet Pills (Up to your visitor gender) There are plenty of quality CPA networks such as CJ, ShareAsale, etc.
nice site! I actually found myself browsing the stories and looking through. I would personally suggest looking for high value markets that feel your traffic is valuable. Clothing and fashion merchandise maybe and cold emailing a ton of places and seeing if they are interested in custom ad space. At this point you have the traffic to justify. A bit of an aside but have you considered placing celeb based or story based flash games with relevant links? feel free to pm maybe we can work something out in terms of developing some custom content for you on the cheap. -Jose
A good way to choose CPA offers is to match demographics on your site with the CPA offers landing page. Quantcast is a free online tool that is great for matching demographics. I agree with Scweb, sell ad spaces! Have a look at Adbrite and BuySellAds.
Great site. Out of interest - where do you get the images? I would get as many people as possible to sign up to a "gossip" newsletter. Then send your headlines in an email with ads (CPA ads like people have mentioned) Let me know if you need any more information
If you are looking to maximize the revenue on your website check out Altitude Digital Partners. They work with over 400 networks and optimize your traffic to get you the highest CPM across the board. They fill all US and International traffic and get you a 98% fill rate. Best of all they handle all billing and deliver one check! They can also monetize video, pop unders, dashboard ads, prestitials, in-banner video, contextual ads etc. Truly a one stop shop!
Sounds like you'd probably do well with a CPM network. I've recently started using ValueClick Media and so far really like the eCPM I'm getting as well as the quality of the ads.
