here for an explanation of what Cost Per Impressions or
CPM advertising is.
Below is a list of advertising networks where you can
buy and sell banner impressions. These networks usually represent
a network of websites. If you sell your banner impressions via one
of the networks, expect to pay 40-60% commissions to the network.
These advertising networks are best for selling remnant
impressions that you can't sell. The rates you are likely to get is
quite low, sometimes as low as $2-3CPM.
I have a theory that getting your site listed in these
advertising networks can help to attract new advertisers. Most of
the big advertisers use one or more of these networks. I believe they
usually scour the listings to see what sites and spaces are available,
which means your site might catch their attention.
Flycast
Network
Flycast reaches than 22 million people per month. They accept rich-media
ads and support HTML, JavaT, Narrative's EnlivenT, VADzT, Real AudioT
and Real VideoT, First VirtualT, AudiobaseT, and Thinking MediaT,
audio, video, and more.
Sellers - Requires web sites to provide a minimum of
100,000 impressions per month or 2% of your total inventory, which
means your site must generate in excess of 5 million impressions a
month! Takes 40% commission.
eBoz! was part of the Flycast network. I simply added
their banners when I have any unsold space. On average, they pay approximately
$4.20-4.60CPM, which isn't a lot, but better nothing! The great thing
is that they seem to be able to offer as many impressions as you can
display and I've never had any payment problems.
I've noticed that they also mix in a selection of pay
per click banners. But I think their software works out which types
of banners get a higher click-through rate in my site and tries to
display them accordingly. As a result, some of the click-through rates
have been as high as over 14%. When you consider the industry average
of just over 1%, the results are pretty amazing.
I have no hesitation in recommending Flycast, if you
can get your site accepted. I don't recommend that you rely solely
on serving their banners, as the CPM rates are quite low.
24/7
Media
The 24/7 Network has more than 150 high-profile sites, reaching more
than 50% of the U.S. online audience and their global networks represent
more than 275 sites covering more than 20 countries, delivering hundreds
of millions of ad impressions a month.
Sellers - Only accepts sites that generates 1 million+
impressions per month.
Adsmart
Network
The Adsmart Network is comprised of more than 200 Web sites and 1.2
billion monthly impressions. CPM range from $15-60. That rate sounds
too high to me. I doubt that you will get such high rates.
Sellers - Minimum of 2,500,000 monthly page views/impressions.
Adauction.com
Adauction.com offers quality, branded web sites, print publications
and other media properties in an auction format.
Sellers - Your site should have at least 1,000,000 impressions
per month and 100,000 unique users. If your site does not match these
guidelines, they still encourage you to register. They are always
looking for sites with unique target audiences and may still be interested
in your inventory.
BURST!
Media
Burst sound ideal for smaller websites, but be careful of signing
up to a long term contract. If they can't sell your banner impressions,
you're still stuck with them.
Sellers - Accepts sites with a minimum of 5000 page
views per month. A non-exclusive site gets 50% of ad revenue, with
a one year exclusive contract for 60%, and a three year exclusive
contract for 70%.

sites and sites outside Canada with its alliance with 24/7 Media.
