Do you find that CPM, CPA, or CPC (or any other for that matter) work better for a gaming site.

The visitor demographics are younger kids (and some older) who are basically at the site to kill time.

This is gaming as in "free online games" not XBOX or PSP related.

No.. adsense would typically not generate any amount of revenue from a gaming site.. I would stick to CPA offers that are more into entertainment/humor.

So you guys think that CPA offers would make more than CPM?

You need high traffic to get decent payment on CPM if you have high traffic then CPM would do well but your could still have CPA in addition

Things that I've found work well on my game sites:

- CPM (better for higher traffic sites)
- contextual ads
- some CPA ads (free screensavers, horoscopes, cursors, etc)
- selling full versions of online games (where you host the demo)
- selling your own advertising.

I would use a combination of CPC and CPA ads, and then look to CPM ads as traffic gets in the x,xxx daily visitor range.

If you got a quality gaming site and the traffic you can search for the game companies and ask for private sale, or some firms who do that for them.

I would say CPA, since CPC is rather low for gaming

Do alot of gaming sites do CPA? I mainly just see CPC from YPN from most arcade flash sites.
