I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Yahoo Search Marketing (aka Overture) for CPC. They are a good one if you’re looking for an alternative to AdSense.

I like Casale Media and TrafficMarketplace better since they offer CPA as well, so you’re pretty much guaranteed good conversion.

You could try Casale Media or Burst Media — both offer CPM opportunities to publishers. Hope that helps!

We have an original content website. After 3 years or so with fastclick where our traffic has remained about the same for the entire period, we were unceremoniously dumped by them this week.

We never got a ton of traffic — maybe 10k page views a day, nor did we ever vary much. The site was primarily a hobby, but at least we were paying the bills for our ISP.

For the majority of the time we had fastclick, we had the same campaigns and popups/popunders running. As someone else mentioned, it was very repetitive– I”m not sure how many months we had the same “get some smilies” tower running, along with the punch the monkey and get a free xbox.

The great irony of this situation, is that our reputation as a publisher in our arena has never been better, as we have recently had players in our arena seeking us out to do promotions, due to our google ranking, visibility and traffic.

I never thought they were great, but we weren’t looking for much either. Getting dumped was a kick in the teeth. For our site, google adsense is just about worthless, as the adwords don’t pay squat.

We’re looking for a replacement for Fastclick btw. Anyone have any suggestions?

I’m considering to put FastClick on my site but still need some more work on traffic to my site.
Thanks for the great review.

I’ve used Fastclick for a year-plus at this point and I rank them among the best networks out there (CPM and CPC alike).

Regardless of whether you choose Fastclick, publishers with decent traffic should definitely look for *some* form of CPM advertising. A mix of CPC and CPM can maximize your revenue on every page view.

I’ve cut alot of the annoying ads out and seem to be going ok, but I’ve also found it depends on the spot as well, some ads sizes have a much better range and quality of advertisers than others do. The recentange and medium rectangle spots (I’m running the medium rectangle) have a long list of advertisers.

I’ve used Fastclick before on a couple of my sites. I found the results disappointing. I was running their tall skyscrapers on my DoggieNews site, and found that 50% of the ads it served up were highly annoying with those “Punch the Monkey” style ads, and flashing red-white graphics.

The cool thing with Fastclick is that you can disable specific campaigns, but in my case, disabling all the annoying ads reduced my earnings to a trickle.

Hope you have luck with it.

I was turned down by Fastclick today for one of my sites. I’m guessing it’s because I have so much other advertising on the site, because the sites gets more visits in a day than they require for an entire month.

I’ll have to give FastClick a look.

I have been having pretty good luck with AdSense and YPN on my sites but as they say, competition is a good thing.

Interesting aside: Yahoo! actually called me on the telephone yesterday to see how I liked their service. They are quite the serious competitor in this business.

I've had a similar experience with FastClick. I've found they produce very reliable returns. You're dead on in your review in terms of revenue vs. traffic. I've also found Kanoodle to produce good returns. I'd check them out if you're still exploring new programs.
