Best CPM For Solid Traffic/High-Quality US Site

    Hello,

    I am writing with the hope of finding SOME assistance regarding the best ad networks to use for a site with solid traffic (25K+ uniques per day, 75% US) and strong content credibility (regularly cited on Twitter by celebrities/newsmakers and in print by top publications).

    I've primarily worked with veteran companies - Advertising.com, Conversant, etc - but I've found rates and fills to be atrocious lately. With a 300x600, two 300x250s and a leaderboard on every page, I am averaging less than $1 total CPM and fill rates below 75%.

    I've also tried some trendy ones, and the early returns are even worse. Adversal is giving me in the $.10-$.15 CPM per unit realm, while Sovrn is filling 7% of my ads with a $.40 floor. Media.net kept telling me I needed to let a "test" complete, but after a week, it never reached a point of giving me any revenue.

    Some competitive websites with comparable traffic have offices in New York and full-time writing teams, and I couldn't even pay one full-time salary based on my ad revenue returns. So - there's obviously something I'm doing wrong or some obvious answer that I'm missing.

    Basically, I'm looking for reasonable CPM ($0.50 per unit minimum), quality ads (no downloads/contests/iLivid - I'm looking for movie trailers, cars, concerts, new albums, etc) and good fills. Basically, what Burst used to offer.

    Where should I be looking?

    I think for good CPM rate you can take a look on PropellerAds media. I have already worked with more then 4 Ad network and I have found that PropellerAds media is offering highest CPM.

    Every single post... you are recommending the same network, its starting to get extremely spammish.

    You can try Poponclick for it. Every network has different rates so you need to test it first.
