CPM Ads

Any forum owners out there runnning CPM ads (not Adsense) on their forums? I'm looking for a few good CPM based ad programs for a new project I'm working on.

Thanks.

Are you pleased with it? Pros? Cons?

Are you pleased with it? Pros? Cons?


2 Main Cons -

First -they are picky about sites they go on. You have to have alot of traffic. 500,000 + page impressions a month I believe;

Second, they are specific about where their ads can go. Example, if you use the 468x60 ad size, they HAVE to be above the fold and the ONLY ad of that size above the fold.

I dont know how payouts compare to others. I make a few hundred a month from them on one forum

Thank you sir, exactly the feedback I was looking for. Have you ever done anything with burst media (http://www.burstmedia.com/)? I've been looking at them as well.

I havent, no.

We've recently started using Burst. You have to run 2 banners, one above and the other below the fold. Those yield about $0.18 eCPM each. PopUps and PopUnders average $1.50 eCPM. They're an established, reputable network and I've never heard any complaints about them other than that they need to update their interface. They only require 5000 min page views/mos, but they are selective about approving publishers.

Others I use:
http://bluetime.com/
Azoogle Bluetime : they pay great, but their server is down too much which interferes with page loading, so they've been dropped for now. I haven't had time to check how that's going. It's too much aggravation until they get that fixed. Support is good, but there's been a few communication/language problems. I think their support is outsourced to India. They're a definite primary cpm network when it's up and running. There's a 25,000 impression per month minimum to qualify.

RealTech Networks:

Support is good, but eCPM drops precipitiously after a few weeks so I wouldn't consider them as a primary network.

Interclick:

Used strictly for popups. Haven't had a reason to give their banners a shot yet.

Tribal Fusion requires 2,000 Unique visitors per day to be considered. I am just under that, but could probably get away with it.

Must have professionial website design. (that probably kills me, as I am doing my site myself at the moment, and I am far from a pro)

Getting my site built very soon, and I may pursue this.

I'm running with Burst. They seem to be pretty good so far and have got a good fill rate; they are also sending some exclusive campaigns my soon.

They pretty much take your word for the 2000 uniques a day -- at least when you get started ---- and a forum is just fine for them as far as 'professional'

glad to hear that, cause I submitted an app to them about an hour ago. If you average it our over 6 months, I am far over that 2,000 per day total, as I was getting 8,000-9,000 per day for most of August, then 4,000-5,000 in September.

Jagger killed me, but I am climbing out of that hole again finally.

I have an account with fastclick, but I am hoping tribalfusion is a better option.
