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.

Ahh... A popunder would kill my traffic (a lot of kids + teenagers).

You can setup a chain between Burst, Tribal and Casale in your forum.

You need a good amount of pageviews like you were talking about and usually at least 2,000 unique people per day to get in.

Depending on the niche, VibrantMedia intellitxt ads may work for you as well. People tend to perceive them as annoying though so if you implement them in your forum, you should make another skin called (no intellitxt) to give your visitors the option to opt out of seeing them.

Update- Forgot to mention... You can make the lion's share of your money from direct ads depending on your forum. You would be surprised how many people will be interested in sponsoring your forum or paying $1CPM for banner packages.

I'm now getting +2k uniques, and up to 40k pageviews but it's usually 20-30k pageviews. I just need to add the privacy policy. I think I have really good content. We have a fan-fiction section where people submit stories. People love reading them. Hopefully I get accepted now.

By the way, what's the average eCPM for TribalFusion?

BlueAdvertise.com allows forums too

I diversified so much that I feel like a chameleon on a smartie box

Kontera also accepts forums

undoubtedly and I have gone the full route testing so many affiliates etc and will now focus on my own structure

been the route of adify - banner connect - kontera - CJ - etc etc

and the sad thing, is that Adsense still carries the most weight, everyone wants to take on the Big Boys but many simply are not capable

cpx has been a joke for a month I ran... (.08 cpm) ... Tribal fusion wasn't great either.. But they all do CPM to CPA arbitrage so if your site isn't making them money they not going to pay you better..

I do fine by just doing cpa myself... (definitely better then the 150$ tribal fusion month)

Now I get 30-40k pageviews. I didn't do anything sneaky to increase them, my traffic simply increased. Hopefully I get accepted now! I never applied in the first place cause I didn't even have a privacy policy. It's very frustrating having a huge forum, it even has to been on a VPS now so I started to LOSE money.:hammer:

It's funny that the first question I was going to ask others about happened to be the first thread already in the forum.

Anyway, I've been looking at trying out a variety of other CPM publisher programs as well now.

Any other good recommendations? I know Tribal Fusion is pretty much the best though.

I am having problems getting into any of these programs. I have tons of pageviews, but I don't have the unique visitors to get in (only about 5k a month ) Are there any out there that allow low traffic sites, even if its only 30 cents CPM or so?
