Hi, Are you allowed to deactive CPC so that you can only earn on a CPM basis in ValueClickMedia The reasons why I ask this is because I use to earn so much more with CPC ads active, and now my earnings has gone so low that it is scaring me. I am seeing the lowest earnings ever from ValueClick and infact they are so low that it is taking the p*ss. I am seeing an average of $0.17cpm - $0.22cpm per ad unit when I use to get around $0.40cpm - $1.50cpm per ad unit. It seems that I am getting clicks only on the CPM ads and ot the CPC ads and I am getting rather alot of these cpc ads showing up on my site now.
I guess no one knows about this then. I have found that the valueclick earnings fluxerates so much that today I am getting around $0.15 CPM. I would say that Fastclick was a tier 1 or 2 network, but since it has changed to ValueClickMedia it is now a tier 3 network. I am earning so little from them that I may have no choice, but have to stop using them. It is bad enough having ads on a site in the first place, but putting ads on pages where it costs me more than what the ads pay makes it not worth while.
