    First, there could be no ads for India, coz ads are targeted.
    Second, conversions are low.
    Pay per click is miserable.

    I droped them a week later.

    Oxado is aimed at European publishers and advertisers - it's an Irish company. I wouldn't recommend it for your site.

    sadly there is no adsense alternative because at adsense there are lots of ads of all kinds which is no where to be found... you can find high paying network but you cannot find all kinds of ads on those networks like in adsense.... but maybe you can find a adsense alternative... because those who seek will find... or shell find...:cool:

    Well, I would be interested to know what makes you say that, we definitely count all banners, ads and clicks. Obviously we only count valid clicks, but we now also display the number of invalid ones in reports.

    And we have a much wider country coverage than Widgetbucks...

    It depends a lot on the country of origin of your visitors, on the topic of the site, and many other parameters.

    The current average revenue per click network-wide is 0.05 euro (that's the average, not the max, and that includes CPA ads, it's really the total payout divided by the total number of clicks, and that includes countries with very low CPC or no CPC at all). The maximum CPC observed these last few days is 5.96 euros (that's an actual click paid to a publisher).

    You can see average and maximum observed RPC per country on this page:
    http://www.oxado.com/bin/country_list

    Obviously, yes, for some countries the average is not very high, but again, it depends on the topic of the site and other parameters.

    Also note when you look at reports that not all ads are paid per click, many are paid per action (lead/sale), and thus it can take a little while for that revenue to be counted (and of course CPA only works if you have good-quality traffic).

    Well, even though we usually have more ads and higher CPC for some european markets, we also have ads for other markets, including India.

    That's unfortunate. I am less than impressed by your service!
    Most of the traffic to my blogs comes from US/EU and I struggle to earn more than maybe 2 cents per click (often less than 1 cent per click). I also seem to get 10% or so of my clicks classed as bad - that's far too many so I question your bad clicks methodology. After more than 1 year with Oxado and hundreds of thousands of impressions I have made a grand total of about 14 Euros.

    Indeed, the average CPC on your sites is pretty low, however some clicks have been paid up to 0.23 euros (not sure any of your blogs deals with any topic where higher bids can be found). The average CPC for your sites for UK visitors is 0.07 over the last three months, but it is dragged down by US visitors (only 0.02, not our best-performing market) and from other countries (which make up for nearly 40% of the clicks). The CPC and CPM also vary quite a bit from one blog to the other, which is to be expected. All in all, I'd say there is probably a way to generate more revenue (by using larger banner formats for instance). I'll see if I find any other obvious ways to optimize your revenue (we have sites that have a CPM over 100 times yours, so I know there's room for improvement!), but, again, it depends a lot on the topics and what advertisers are available for each topic/country. The audience of the individual sites remains low, though, and it probably doesn't help the engine to make good decisions as to which ads to display.

    As for the bad clicks, 5 to 15% is quite common and normal, it's mostly people clicking multiple times on the same ad (seems weird but it does happen a lot, especially in some countries where people don't necessary understand everything and just click all over the place...). I can send you detailed logs of those clicks the last 3 months if you'd like, you'll see it's pretty obvious.

    There's no need but thanks anyway. I'm glad that 5 to 15% is normal - I was concerned that maybe someone was mischief making. I suppose I'm safe from a ban in that case - wouldn't want to lose my 14 Euros!
