    I have Adbrite account but yes, their rate is worse than even Smowtion at the current rate... lol.

    Any other suggestion? :)

    well, i've also removed adbrite and smowtion ads.
    You can NOT find a Good CPM company out there nowaday.
    I will try to find a good CPC company rather than a CPM, if there is any, except Google, so please tell me.

    Pretty strange, i got a good april with them with popunders, as small booster on adsense/ebay advertised sites, i did around 100$. I wondered what the problem of the other poeple with low cpm was. Then i added a few more of my sites and boom, from one day to another, my income dropped from constant $2-$3 to 0.08 cent or so . Never more as a few cent per day, even now with 50% more traffic, and the main money maker site still there. There was no problem with the sites, in the same time adsense worked fine and stable with around $35 per day.

    Well, from my personal experience.I will never use smowtion ads.It ruined my site.They have malware,hidden iframe.I removed there ads from my site.But unluckily its still in my site and because of it,my site gets banned in most of the traffic exchange site.I hate it.:(
    I am not able to find that code.

    Are you sure about this? Every single person on this forum so far, claims that Smowtion ads are malware free. That has been the case for me as well.

    I have been using smowtion as a backup ads to adsdaq. I was using adbrite was sick of them. My average ecpms for this month is 0.42 with earnings of 9.15.I am so far pleased with them , the ad that seems to pay more even though its by itself with out adsdaq is the 468x60 which seem to convert more than the 300x250 and 160x600 ads the 468x60 has less clicks but are converted more. So at this time I am pleased with them, that does not mean 6 months from now I would feel the same way. At one time I was pleased with adbrite which seems they fell of a cliff.

    If you ask why I do not use adsense I was click bombed several times so I removed I was not banned from them they are still on my other sites

    smowtion earnings are dropping drastically even though traffic is increasing. I have already dropped them from my site.

    Smowtion is okay but seems that their banners are slow while loading.

    Please stay away from Smowtion you are not going to get paid. They will show high CPM rates just to lure new publishers into signing their program and after some time when you are in the middle of meeting the payment threshold, you'll see your CPM rates and Impressions going down...If you have plenty of extra time arguing with your AM to get paid and if you can closely monitor your Smowtion account on daily basews (so you can verify Impressions counts by their system versus Google Atics or AW stats) ..then only jump in the wagon, otherwise, my fellow friends please stay away from this company...
