I've recenly been looking for a CPM company to put adverts on my network of sites, but cannot find any that will either accept me or do not look like they are run by 12 year olds.. I currently serve up about 2m pageviews per month, with about 200k uniques. Most of my sites are nothing spectacular as far as originality goes (gaming sites, proxy sites, blogs, etc.), and that's the reason most places that I've tried are turning me down I'm guessing. I just got shot down by valueclick (the same people that own CJ.com I believe, where I do bring in a significant amount each month). Any other ones out there that maybe don't pay as well but aren't quite as strict on who they let in? Any and all suggestions welcome.
Casalemedia pays alright to me and have similar rates to valueclickmedia. What are proxy sites anyway. What do you have on them and why are they called proxy sites?
I'm in a similar problem. I'm serving approx 250,000 ad impressions per day, yet getting only like $50 from it using Right Media Proxy sites allow you to access banned websites. Most often this is MySpace which is banned in schools/workplaces.
iBold, give a new company called Axill a shot. They pay a flat .30-cent CPM, and from what I can tell, they are quick to accept new sites (being new and all). The flat .30-cent CPM is not the greatest, but if you're strapped for CPM ads, they're a good way to go. I make around $50/day from them using them as a fourth-tier network. I've already replaced Casale with them, tossing Casale down to 5th place as they pay miserably and their fill rate is, as usually atrocious. Here's some news: Apparently Axill also has contracts with Fastclick/Valueclick, because I see a lot of Fastclick ads taking up Axill's ad space. Check them out at axill.com if you're interested.
TF if you can get in, followed by Fastclick (now Valueclick). Casale used to be decent, but they've gone to hell now, and I don't even bother checking my earning stats with them anymore, they're always so miserably low.
Yes, sorry. TF is TribalFusion. What kind of site do you have? If it's entertainment-heavy, you might want to sign up for Gorilla Nation, too. They pay lousy for RON ads, but their branded campaigns are excellent.
I run a forum w/up to 20k pageviews daily, and a proxy with 30k+ pageviews daily (NOT HITS, I use an external counter to count the proxy pageviews)
First tier cpm network is like Casalemedia and ValueClickMedia. These are the networks that normally pay the most money and are the main ones on the Web. Second tier CPM networks then normally don't pay as much money and also show ads on their publishers webspace by supplying them with first tier cpm ads from the likes of Casalemedia and ValueClickMedia so this will mean that the 2nd tier network will then also take a cut. So if you go with the first tier network then you are cutting out the 2nd tier network (middle man) which is then more money for you.
Casalemedia pays just as well as Valueclickmedia. So unless I am missing something I believe they pay well better than alot of other CPM ad networks.
Just by default of Casalemedia's poor fill rate, potential revenue earning with them is much, much lower than Valueclick. Rate-wise, they may be similar, but even in this, I've seen a dramatic lowering of Casalemedia's value.
I am earning more with ValueClickMedia on average for Popunders than what I am earning with Casale, but for ad units I am earning more with Casalemedia than what I am earning with ValueClickmedia.
Hi, Could you please tell me the url for Gorilla Nation. I have tried gorillanation.com, but don't know if that is the one you mean or not as you have to place one of their banners on your home page just to get accepted by them plus you also have to put their contact details on your site which seems a little bit odd.
Yes, that's them. I've been with them for years and never bothered to put their banners on my site. Not even once, and they've never said anything. I have an "advertise on this site" link on my site that is basically a redirect back to their site, but I do this voluntarily because instead of handling the sales myself, I'd rather they do it for me. Your rep (if you get accepted) will probably tell you not to bother with those two things you mentioned. By the way, it might be different if you sign up, because I was recruited into the network, so they might have given me some leeway on this...
I thought that I will reply to the post again to say that I have also started to notice a decline in Casale. When I first joined them earlier this year or late last year I noticed that they had quite a few campaigns that were paying some good to alright money. I have now recently check what campaigns are available and there is no where near as many high paying ones now and I have also noticed that they also don't seem to have as many campaigns either. Overall I have also seen a decline in my revenue from Casale aswell. They need to sort something out or they are going to loose alot of their publishers/affiliates.
hey guys, how about the clicksor team? I actually have one site 100 unique daily with them, and earn like less than 50 CENTs from it. It is normal??
