     | Best Impressions based ad network? I am looking to monetize my forum better and am curious what you all think is the best CPM network to go with?

 | I always hear Tribal Fusion is the best but you have to have a content site also I believe. Also ValueClick and Casale are good. But I think all three of these require a good amount of traffic, last I tried a while back I wasn't accepted to any. So sorry I can't give you any first-hand experience but this is all what I've heard from others.

| You can always try Adsdaq. You name your price (but obviously if its too high, your fill-rate will be crap). So far (about 4 days) it's worked well for me, and it's even got a "backup" links area so when you're not filling up a adspace you can throw in some of your own google adsense code or any other ad scripts and still have ads appear.

| Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up. I know these CPM networks have been distancing themselves from forums recently and not being part of one its hard to keep up with it all.

| There are lower paying networks that accept forum traffic and international traffic (low as in 4 cents cpm) but I would recommend avoiding them like the plague. I've used quite a few of them and there isn't one that has not had a problem with malware being spawned from the banners. I don't think I need to describe how bad it is to explain to your members why they've got spyware on their PC from browsing your forum. Not to mention the risk of ending up with a tag in google search results next to your site saying [This site may harm your computer] (fortunately that never happened to me).

| i have dealt with adbrite but the ads were crap - now i am on adsense banners which are also cruddy. part of me wonders if i should just give up on the notion of monetizing the site. I had already removed adsense units and a footer 728 ad - had been hanging onto one single ad in the upper right. When it was adsense text ad it rarely got clicked so i have switched to banners for now.

| I'm using ADSDAQ and Tribal Fusion. ADSDAQ is first tier and TF backs it up. I have an affiliate running TF fill. I bid $3.00 for 300x250, $3.25 for 728x90 and $2.75 for 160x600. I have a 47% fill today so far. Best day I had with them as $32 at 57% fill, 11,000 impressions. I'm very happy with them and recommend anyone interested in another CPM network give them a shot.

| I applied for ADSDAQ this morning and was accepted instantly with a ~200 uniques/day site.
