Desperate for a decent ad network

I have been having a similar problem .
Try Digital point ads, I have heard a lot of good reviews and I believe they do ppc cpm .
I am going to be setting them up soon on my site .

 

for banners i have found that directrev.com pays really good

 

BuySellAds is one of the easiest networks to start with

 

You need to try projectwonderful. If your site gets accepted, then you can surely make some good amount of money. The min payout is only $10. If you are interested, I will PM you my affiliate link. I can't take home any money that I make from you being my affiliate, I can only spend it on advertising (which I also require)..

 

I know this suggestion isn't an ad network, but have you tried selling ads directly? Could probably easily find people willing to advertise on your site either in a cpc or cpm manner.

 

This is not as easy as it looks there are more chances you may get only fraud people to buy traffic, once they get traffic they revert paypal back and tracking traffic is problem and more frustration dealing with people directly rather choose reliable network, add in your website once and forget about the headache

Many people thing you can get higher rate if find someone directly to advertise in site that is not the case though only small webmaster choose direct advertising options big companies advertise only in network

 

without any doubt adsense is definitely the best, but same time not easy to get approved, According to my opinion in second tier network there are many options. You should search for review before joining any network and choose one according to your sites content and traffic.
