CPM

**Hobbit** · 07-26-2007, 06:51 PM

What are some programs that allow forums? I know VCM doesn't, so I'm assuming there's others that don't allow forums either.

TribalFusion but only if you have a good content site as well.

**Hobbit** · 07-27-2007, 05:26 PM

Thanks. It won't hurt to apply I guess.

Burst allows forums.

Yea forums run by Jesus himself.

I have both Tribal Fusion and Burst (2nd tier) on my forums and I'm not Jesus (although I know him personally).

lol it was just a joke. They wouldn't accept me because of my Mustang girls gallery. It contained no nudity but they still said it was too "adult".

I run TribalFusion for first tier and a niche CPM network for second tier. If you can find a good niche CPM network, you'll have better luck than Burst usually. Maybe not better than tribal... but it just depends on the niche.

I just applied. I'm getting about 18-20k pageviews per day and I'm about to hit the first page for the keyword I'm targeting. Hopefully I get accepted.

The site is The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance Fan Forums - Powered by vBulletin by the way.

IMO TF and forums have fallen out recently, CPM is way down.

**skyhawk133** · 08-29-2007, 10:18 AM

Agree, see my blog on the EF homepage for why.

Yeah saw that, was a good read.

My rep contacted me too and filled me in.

Cheers.

Most of the major CPM ad networks will not allow forums because most of your users will just be writing posts, editing posts, reading posts, etc and will not click on the banner ads that often. CTR will be very low.

thanks buddy

Depending on the forum and the traffic I am sending (in terms of volume), I see anywhere from $.30 CPM to $1.50 CPM.

**john546** · 10-03-2007, 12:11 PM

Adsense allows forums and they can pay a good amount on CPM if you get some good direct targeting advertisers.

1 Word: Diversify.

If Jesus IP bans you, does that mean you won't get into heaven?

How much traffic do you usually need to get to get accepted into a good CPM company? Well over 10,000 pageviews right?

**Hobbit** · 10-16-2007, 02:39 AM

Not really ^. Like I said mine gets about 18-20k pageviews. I'm sure they also judge on the nature of the forum.

Just so everyone knows, CpxInteractive allows forums, but you MUST put a pop-under. Maybe you can work a deal out and not use the popunder though, I haven't tried doing that yet.
