Trustworthy CPM network for new low traffic sites

[Somiibo]

Hi everyone. I am just getting in to online money making as a publisher and need a few tips. I'm having trouble getting people to my site, and I am looking in to how that can be fixed. But regardless, most CPM networks I've looked at have a minimum requirement of an insane amount of traffic (like 500k /month, 50k /day etc) and I get rejected every time.

Some other networks that have accepted me have nonexistant CPM rates or inject nasty popup ads that I don't want on my site. Need some suggestions! Here is my experience so hopefully it can help other people.


- Exoclick seems to have an eCPM of <$0.10 for me
- adBlade seems good but havent had enough visitors to tell yet
- facebook audience network seems good but only works on mobile

facebook audience - does this network work only with Instant Articles?
i could not set it up , because seems it works only with apps now, not websites

i also looking for good cpm networks at the moment.
probably i will put Propeller ads mobile dialogs or interstial ads on every page (1-2 dollar cpm), but as i know their simple banners have low cpm rate.
you can try them too, they approve all.

It took me a very long time to get it figured out, but they actually do support mobile sites and not just iOS or android apps. I can't post links yet so google this and go to the GitHub repo "facebook audience network github". They have sample code for integrating with mobile sites. Make sure you replace the IDs in there with you APP ID and your AD placement ID. Let me know if it works for you.

And how did you get propeller ad banners to work? For me it says "banners are unavailable at this time" and only offers the other ones.

thanks for this info. its kinda weird. is it not against fb rules?

i have not tried propeller ads mobile dialogs and interstitials yet - only read positive reviews.
if you mean their usual banner ads - also have not tried them but read negative reviews.

but i am not a developer at all, so i dont know what to do with it

It's not against their rules they just have poor documentation for mobile sites. The GitHub repo I gave you is actually made by Facebook if I'm not mistaken so it's definitely legit. If you can't get it working let me know I'll show you!

Ah I see what you mean about propeller ads thanks for the advice tho, maybe someone will come around that knows good networks.

if you have also a low traffic site so you are also stuck, as me. i applied to Mediahub, they also approve all, but have not tried their banners yet.

if you can explain me what steps to do to get FB Audience working - it would be really great

You can try Admaven and Adcash. If i'm not mistaken, they don't have minimum visitors per day though it's wise to bring at least 5k visitors per day. The good news is Admaven has high CPM and you can ask for fixed cpm later and faster payment as well. Just build a good relationship with your AM.

do you mean, their popunder ads or banners?

Pop under. They don't have banners. The new placements that you can test are LightBox & Interstitial ads.

What is the traffic volume on your site? I created ad spaces for my site few months back and fb showed message that my site isn't approved after review. I had around 30k to 50k sessions per day all from fb ads. Can you please let us know what is the procedure

It is not there. Audience network ads for mobile site is not open to all. I am looking to hear from OP on how to setup the FB app for mobile site, or is he talking about just instant articles. See this - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/audience-network/web

i hope Somiibo can kindly clarify this

Of course I've tried them. I wouldn't it recommend it to others if I haven't tried it myself.

Here is the fixed CPM I got.

 

[puneetas3]

Anyone could sort the FB audience network issue.

 

[Somiibo]

I'm in contact with facebook to see what the issue is, mine arent working anymore either. I think their beta program is very selective

You could try video intelligence, they don't have minimum traffic requirements and have good eCPMs - varies on country of course. They also provide ads that are matching the content of your website, so that's another plus.

The only thing is they don't accept publishers with adult, violence and that sort of content.
