Best Starting PPC: www.adsense.com Best Starting CPM: www.adbrite.com Hope this didn't cause any brain damage for anyone. EDIT: These are the best to start with. They have proven themselves hundreds of times, and they dont have any obscure rules such as "50,000 UVs a month before we consider you."
Those aren't definitive =) Adsense may be a good PPC but adbrite for best CPM? I think there are a lot better, tribalfusion for one
Tribalfusion is very iffy on the impression rates per month before they accept you. They're also very iffy on the content, in my past experiences.
I think valueclick ? or doubleclick ?? how can adbrite be the best here ?? are you taking those full page ads as well ??
That's because they want quality sites for their advertisers ads to show on. This is how they can pay good CPM rates. Looking at it I would much prefer to use Tribal on my entertainment site than Adbrite. 1. I know that the earnings on a CPM basis will be more. 2. I know that my visitors will not be getting unwanted ads that flash 1000mph 3. I know that the advertisers within the next are all or if not mostly of quality meaning that I don't have to worry so much about ads being shown on my site that automatically spawns a popup or downloads adware to my visitors computer, etc. Other than you CPM choice, the Adsense one is good, but Adbrite is not so good for a choice. Yep they are good if you are new and do not have any or very little traffic. But if you were going to be the next miniclip or youtube, then adbrite would quickly be moved of your site and you will look more into large publisher networks that can deliver, pays good and has good advertisers. Just my 2 cents worth.
I only know of one CPM company (AdBrite) which allows me to put ads on my proxified pages. Since I am majorly in the proxy business, not a fly-by proxy operationeer, AdBrite does earn me about $8-10 per day per network. That and AdSense earns about $20-25 per day per network from landing pages. I cant say I've ever had these earnings with anyone else because no other CPM would probably even allow me to use their ads on proxified pages, where I get about 100K views per network per day.
adwords/adsence combo is becoming increasingly hard to manage for profit. what are the best alternatives?
