First off I dont not represent the company so I'm just like one of you trying to find the best possible solution to getting the most revenue out of your site as possible. My site is banned from adsense so I had to find alternatives. I've tried everything from cpxinteractive, adbrite, mediashakers, traffic revenue, clicksor, bidvertiser, smowtion, etc....you named it, I tried it. I use to LOVE adbrite 2 eayrs ago when I was making well over $150 a day, now with ever more traffic I struggle to even touch $30 from them. So anyway I signed up with Xtend, the first couple days were really good as far as eCPM rates but it slowly started going down so I dropped them and tried other networks. One of their representatives contacted me via email asking why I decided to leave. I stated that my eCPM rates kept slipping down and down and I needed something stable. Well they asked me to join back up and that they would help me optimize my site to bring my eCPM back up. Well I decided i have nothing to lose and agreed. I was averaging at the time about 400,000 impressions a day with about 1000+ clicks. Well they let me know what ads were performing better at which zones and I have been following their every suggestion. Everyday since then my eCPM keeps going up and up. They then contacted me and told me to stop serving my 468x60 and 120x600 ads because they were the cause of the eCPM not going as high as possible. That meant a lot to me because you rarely hear a company tell you to stop serving a particular ad size. So I complied and now I'm serving about 250,000+ impressions a day and still making more then when i was serving 400,000+ because my eCPM sky rockets at least $.10 from previous rate. I now send those 468x60 and 120x600 ads to a different company and making an additional $15 a day from the other company. so all in all I am VERY impressed with Xtend. I have yet to request a payment so not sure how smooth that will be but from the early stages i cant find any faults.
I'm seeing big sites such as megaupload are switching to xtend media. They are currently my best network too
Im not going to advertise my site here and it doesn't matter to me whether or not you believe me or not. I'm not here to prove nothing to no one. I'm just trying to pass along information to people who have been in this game for as long as I have an have yet to find that right company.
Just look at my past threads and see if you see any type of promotion on my end. From day one all I have done was try to find a high paying ad company just like the rest of us
Well again, what I call high some may not but with a site like mine, I'm use to getting eCPM rates at around $0.06 to $0.09. With Xtend I'm ranging around $0.23-$0.30+ ...again, if you have a content rich site then those might go a lot higher with you but for a site like mine, I'm truly happy.
Is it a true ecpm as Google Adsense ? I mean, does it count every pageview or even unique visitors? The deffinition of cpm is not clear here, some say cpm = 1000 pagevies, other say cpm = 1000 unique visitors. Trafficrevenue, for example counts only unique visitors az cpm and for me, I can forget it, because I have about 500 visitors daily but 4000 pageviews and it is a huge difference as you can see.
After reading peoples good comments about xtend media, I might check them out, as I'm currently using adsense/google affiliate network. Thanks for the info
They had never performed good for Indian traffic... They are good for US / Uk traffic I had stopped using them....
I can vouch for xtendmedia. They do pay. I got paid even when my balance was $15..seriously. Maybe because my account does not perform well like my adsense but they do pay.
