Hello, I got some questions to ask you guys.... I have a site with ~120-140k daily impressions/day, is on gaming. Many of visitors are returning visitors. All around the world. So, my questions are: 1. How much you think i should earn/monthly from ads ? 2. Which approach you think is the best for ads: - to go for an ad agency; which agency you recommend - to look for a salesman (payed on % of ads sold) to sell ads directly to advertisers; this way maybe i can get better prices for ads (cpm probably this case) If second solution is fine then how do i look for a salesman ? 3. Since i got many returning visitors do you think i can get more clicks = incomes if they would see different ads (by using alternatelly 2-more ad networks) they would click more often on links ? Thanks for your ideas, i hope would be an interesting subject for discussion...
ad agency will most likely get you max earnings. your earnings can vary a lot, but probably more than 100 a month I think if you had relevant ads, like about games it would be the best I know of a few agencies, but you may want to look at reachads, which a lot of people seem to recommend on this forum I don't have personal exp. w/ them so i would not know
I was wondering too, if in this area, gaming, would not be better to have other ads than for games. I mean ads for games are not payed so good as others (one people i know is getting $75/CPM but he has ads on highly payed hardware and software). I was thinking if not ads to LCD's, video cards or something it would be payed better (and with a similar ctr rate i hope) than ads for games...
you could make an easy 300$ + each month with reachads (check my sig for a link) and adbrite is good also for selling ads. 75$ cpm is unheard of. I could possible believe 7.50$ cpm.
I was talking about $75. There are ads for products with value of $x.xxx for very well financed guys... Ok, i was thinking on making $2000 + rather, i already make average 1.100/month with AdSense, but then got some problem with them (they really bad sometime with publishers, won't help if there is a problem) and need to switch. As far as i know a salesman specialised in ads with good conections can bring better CPM rates than any ad network...
I guess you'd better try them yourself to find out the best one for your business. There are a few reputable advertising websites on the web, you may think about pop-unders and pop-in ads as well.
Spent xx hours looking believe me... I got my own opinions, but i though between all this guys from here there are guys who can confirm me/come with ideas based on a better experience than mine...
cpmstar is a good one for game sites too. link: http://ads.shizmoo.com/ At .40$ cpm you could get an easy $1500 a month.
Yeah, maybe... Reach ads is fine but they have same and again same ads... So my CTR is getting down slowly... I submitted to 2-3 big networks but they rejected for time been, will reaply later when new website is up...
Hey, This is Matt from ReachAds. Regarding your CTR problem - we are preparing to launch a new marketing campaign of our own to let a lot more games know we exist. This will involve a new employee who will join myself in contacting a number of games regarding what we can offer. Please bear with us while we try and improve the network even further. Cheers Matt http://www.reachads.com
Nice to see someone from ReachAds is here... Good marketing this way Also, we can feel that agency is in touch with us... Yeah, you need way more advertisers, i mean prices are rather cheap for them... Btw, started to be dissapoited by some networks, sample Adversal which decreased a lot their prices for publishers based on a new country based scheme... You got some news related to such (or any other, for publishers) changes of policy ?
can you post the sites which are getting traffic in this respect.. let me see if i can help you in offering a deal with your sites.
Hey, Thanks jameskon, will be back to u once sites will be re-done, is working in progress now. Related to AdBrite there are 2 problems: 1. You could simply have no ad for a while so loosing money 2. If u get ads, you will get probably same ad, so unsuitable for my case, where as much different ads as possible is best idea
