Hey, I run two websites (gamebulge and vidbulge) and I've been using AdSense for awhile. The results are OK but the click avg price has gone way down to .01-.02 cents a click. I want to switch advertisers to pay around .05-.10 at least. Any suggestions?
You can add to adsense instead. There are the banner exchange networks that have publisher programs. I have been paid by Funklicks.com(CPC) and Onads.com(CPM). Also, I just signed up with adtoll(CPC) and they look promising. All have the 100 x 100 ad that most arcades use. You could try CPM networks if you have alot of impressions. I'm doing well with CPXInteractive and Adversal(popunders). There is also paypopup...but the pops are a bit intrusive. Also, you can try CPA networks. My arcade is doing really well with NeverBlueAds. People download the smilies and cursors the most. As far as other similar networks to replace adsense....I have found nothing as good as adsense. Some people say to go for YPN or Kontera(in-line ads).
CPM networks and gaming related offers in CPA networks would be a good choice. With some CPM networks you can earn good money. One I use on my entertainment site also shown in my sig pays me around $0.45 - $0.70 CPM on each banner ad format, depending on where the traffic is coming from or the quality of the traffic. Use 3 banner ad formats per page and you have a page earning of around $1.35 - $2.10, but not all people will get these good rates, but if you have good traffic then you should have good rates like this aswell. When I say good traffic I mean a nice little amount of traffic from the US, UK, Canada, Spain, etc. CPA networks, there are many online as you can see from my sig. With some of these offers, all you need is you visitor to full in a zip code or email address and you can earn anywhere from $0.35 - $2.10+ per lead and you visitor doesn't even have to purchase anything for you to get paid that amount.
You can do really well like some arcades are on AdToll with the 100x100 banner if you get good traffic and are willing to dedicate some decent real estate to the banner. We have a fair few arcades and gaming sites doing very very well.
