ValueClick Media or Adsense on Arcade Sites

    Which one is better for an arcade site?

    I get around 3500 - 4000 uniques per day and only make around $7 - $8 per day with VCM. I have four VCM ads on my site.

    How much are you making with Adsense with that amount of traffic?

    First of all you cant put 728*90 on bottom, it is against the rules of ValueClick. Remove that ad, and ad one popunder on 24 hours, that should give you extra 4-5 $ per day, and you can add 728*90 adsense ad on bottom.

    Why not use both. Many websites like about.com use both. You have nothing to loose.

    I forgot to mention that I do not used Adsense because they banned me for invalid clicks. :rolleyes:

    And... back to the question. This is out of curiousity to see how well Adsense does on arcade sites.

    I think you will make more off a valueclick. I use both on both of my sites

    PM me if you want to trade links with www.media-post.net or www.funnyvideosrus.com

    Sorry to say this, but you will be writting another thread sooner or lately saying something like "what's better for an arcade site. Is it bidvertiser or ValueClickMedia. Ummm, by the way I have been banned from ValueClickMedia for not following their TOS, but still would like to know anyway".

    In other words, you have broken their TOS. Move all of the ads above the fold. That is their TOS. If you don't follow them then they have the right to just close your account without pay as you are really damaging their company and their advertisers by doing this. They have TOS in place for a reason.

    Just thought that I would let you know as I and many others surely won't want to see you get banned.

    Also, you have a good looking site and nice and colorful.

    Good luck with this, but my advice would be to move the ads above the fold or reduce them.

    Try Valueclick. IMO that will pay you more.

    Try 1 of these on EVERY page:

    300x250
    728x90
    468x60
    120x600
    160x600 (optional)
    1 popup every 6 hours

    Should get a sweet nice converting rate off them all.

    you can't have more then one 468/728 or 120/160 on the same page and they must be above the fold.
    the total amount i make per UV is alot more (x more) then you make.
    the only advice i fell like giving is,have the ads where they get clicks and don't try to cheat the system.
    you may get reported and banned just like you did with adsense.

    adsense sucks at some game sites (like arcades) because of the heavy mfa or crap targeting.Yep you can earn 0.05 0.06 cpc but the visitors ll hate cos of the reasons i told above.If i were you, i choose pure game advertising network like cpmstar or game-advertising-online.But it might be hard to get in.

    Yep, Adsense sucks. Haven't try VCM on my arcade site though.
    What are the requirements to join VCM?
