Content.Ad - Should I Continue? [Actual Earnings Shown]

If your visitors are mostly one-time and not returning ones, you could try pop under ads. Specially if you turn on gambling and adult ads. Maybe go with propeller ads or popads.net or any similar.

If you have returning visitors, I would probably go for some kind of CPA for free content or selling services/things.

Why don't you use adsense?

CTR is really low but CPC is fucked up buddy...

If adsense approve you, this traffic can reach $150 easily...

If your niche is good enough for affiliate marketing then the traffic is gold.

AdSense and Content.ad are two completely different networks having nothing to do with each other.
Replacing one with another would be a bad idea considering they could run together. Even if content.ad brings very little it could be adsense + very little, rather than just AdSense.

$150 not always the case, so I would not confuse OP if I were you.

OP, I would suggest skipping all the crap about AdSense, especially if you not accepted already.
Though, check if you not accepted or banned. Many networks run google ads as resellers so you can still run those ads + other networks.

If most of the traffic is Sri-Lanka, rates won't be as high as for Tier 1, though it should be better than what you see now.

I had around $1 CPM with adsense on indian traffic, SO that's way i suggested adsense.

I have tested Adsense+Media.net too! BUT my niche is good enough so i am testing only amazon now.

I don't think you understand what I mean.
Both networks (if he was accepted) could work together, you can have ads from both networks at the same time on the same page monetizing the same user.

Thanks for your reply. My adsense is not banned and it was rejected. Below is the reply I received from adsense team. Half of them what they have mentioned I do not understand to be honest. Is this something I can rectify and re-apply?
