    You left out Amazon.com Associates, their affiliate program has a pretty nice payout: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associa...

    Many start out on Adsense and this is probably a good place for that, but eventually everyone who is serious ends up branching out to find that one way that really works for them. I have seen different agencies get different results for different people so do not be afraid to play around until you find the one that works best for you.

    Steve,

    This is a great list - I will point our publishers to it when they decide how to monitise their site. OpenX Ad Server works with almost every one of these programs, so that a publisher can rotate them and test which ones work the best for them.

    If you want to do a case study on how to set up and test the networks in this list, I think it would be great interest to many people. Let me know

    I have to say that I have had 100% fill rate with Interclick consistently, combined with their ad quality, I would have to say that Interclick is second to none.

    That's a huge list. I've already tried Adsense. I noticed Chitika didn't make it to your list :)

    Hi Steve,

    my name is Antje and I work for Germany`s largest online video advertising network - Captain Ad .
    I found your list of advertising networks and would like to ask, if you could list Captain Ad as well?

    Captain Ad places advertisements before embedded videos of any popular video sharing websites like YouTube, megavideo and so on.
    Captain Ad is paying for this ad format to webmasters a CPM of 1.00 USD.
    The integration is very easy as well. http://www.captainad.com/

    You can see Captain Ad in action at: http://www.captainad.com/preview/overlay .

    Best regards,

    Antje

    This is a great list of ad networks. I have been looking for a good CPM network after I was rejected by Tribal Fusion(I get 4k UV per day). And I will be looking at Federated Media as it looks good.

    You missed one very good network - IdeaMama Ad Network. It runs our affiliate program on Cost Per Deal model, which might be interesting to both publishers and advertisers: http://ideamamaadnetwork.com/why-us-3/cpc-cpl-c...

    We pay $5,000 to their affiliates on each $15K deal that they bring us... It's way more lucrative for us than investing in clicks or leads with other networks. Been there done that. CPD works the best for us, CPM or CPC with other networks don't work at all for our B2B offers.

    Thank you for your post, i'll be checking into these. If you don't mind, what has been your experience with having multiple advertising networks on one site. Has this worked well, what networks seem to perform well with each other?
  • sbspalding · 2 months ago
    Generally CPM networks work well with each other. You chain them together by average price. Where you have the best network that defaults to the second best that defaults to the third and so on. If it's a big operation this can be done much more easily with an Ad Server.
