Worried about CPMfun (CPM fun)

    Hey There,
    I started using CPM fun a few days ago and my site has had about 20k uniques.

    It all looked great in the cpmfun reporting tool, as it seemed to be updating in realtime and correlated pretty well (-10% adblocked) with my google analytics.

    2 Huge problems have arisen to make me think they are a scam:

    (1) Their rates arent really CPM insofar as they are tracking unique page-views and not ad-views, for instance theres a lot of talk about their $0.5-$1.5 CPM but this really doesnt seem to be the case, I have 3 of their ads on every one of my pages which they are counting as one, also for all 3 of the ads (90% of my traffic is US based also) together they are giving me $0.3 CPM ...... hmmmm this isn't the way it should be... thats $0.1 CPM..

    (2) After getting 20,000 pageviews...... theyve now lost them all. I've browsed around the dates in their report tried a few things and.. it now says 124 hits...

    Whats up with these guys?

    Is CPMfun a scam!!

    If you actually bothered to read the thread, pretty much everyone has the same problem and everyone says to wait, its become a broken record. Plenty of people have been paid so stop crying and be patient.

    udgm, you can't say that CPMfun is scam only because you don't like the eCPM rates you got! Why don't you just move your banners into other places, to can get higher eCPM rates, as everybody else?

    If you will search this forum for CPMfun, you will see a lot of payment proofs from this network - also you will find a lot of positive things said by other publishers using this network.

    Next time search the forum for some more info about the site you want to categorize scam! And now, when everybody's stats went back to normally - yours too, right? - now why don't you post anything about this? Why can't you say this? You can say only negative things about this network - and when you saw that you're wrong, you was worried for nothing, now why can't you say the true???

    @Oli, I'm accusing them of being a scam, I'm enquiring about them. I have a few sites and usually deal with Casale, Adsense & Tribal. CPMfun seem a lot smaller and its worrying when stats suddenly go blank etc.. hence my worries and request for feedback.

    I've just seen your sig. Are you a staffer there?

    No, I am not a staff of CPMfun - they don't have account managers or other staffs yet. I am just a publisher who is very satisfied using this network, and I'd like people to know that CPMfun is a legit network, to they can use it without being worried about it!

    If you want to read more about this network, to see a low number of bad opinions, but a high number of very good opinions about it, also some more payment proofs, you can see them here:

    I don't think CPM Fun is a scam... but their real CPM rate is about $0.10

    They pay 0.10 CPM and then calculate their eCPM by unique hits which gives a misleading inflated eCPM that everyone is bragging about (It's funny but the people that are bragging about their inflated eCPM fake rating, all have affiliate links in their signature)

    So if you want a 0.10 CPM network that will likely also give your users popups (I know it did for mine), then CPMFun is for you :)

    On the plus side, everyone seems to be accepted

    Never seen anyone bragging about their eCPM rates, it's easy to figure out that the more impressions you have vs uniques = higher eCPM. Not sure why people care about eCPM anyway, it's an estimate and that's it, the actual earnings part is all you should care about.

    Yes, the earnings are the most important part. And in this network the earnings are much better than in other cpm networks :)

    There is a problem with the yesterday's stats, it is updated later, and this is also affecting the this month's stats. But at the 2nd part of the day they all will come back to normally - don't worry about this! Every day it is the same problem, for everybody - but it always come back, you will never lose your earnings!

    Yes, i dun care its eCPM coz it pays for impressions, eCPM just to make the rate looks nicer only. Anyway, I'm comparing its CPM with other ad networks, but it's still high, mine not even 0.10 CPM, it's only 0.09 CPM, but I still happy with it if they pay on time and no hanky panky hidden activities :) so let me try for 1 month coz am making $4-$5 per day, then wait for another month I will know whether it's scam or legit :)
