    So I was wondering if it'd be a good idea if I were to make a ad network (PPC/CPM) based on dp, like get every one here to list there sites at my ad network and all that.

    would that be a good idea or ...?

    You can potentially make a lot of money if you can control click fraud. You always see all these posts about click fraud so a solution to combat that would be priority number one.

    It may take some significant marketing costs up front to get your name out there.

    Overall, if you do it right, I think it is an awesome idea!

    Yeh large investment, and as frankMeyer said, you will need a good click fraud mechanism.

    If you have the infrastructure and coding knowledge to get it done right then I think your investment would be minimal.

    I was thinking about marketing to pull in new advertisers and publishers. But I guess you could limit the advertising expense, it just how big of a launch you want to do.

    Keep us posted because I think you could do really well with your idea.

    At the moment, I'm overlooking existing ad network solutions that I could use and with a bit of my own code in there I think it could become exactly what I need.

    Here's one that I found so far.

    www.adify.com


    It doesn't give much freedom but it's an option.

    Yes its good idea.
    But you need to have a good system such as unique IP per click rate.
    Other than that,you need to chose payment option carefully.
