Looking for guidance on CPM - (10k+ hits a day)

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all first!

Okay so... I run a small gaming community which atm avg around 5,000 players per day, with this each map / connect the players load our MOTD page. With this we are on avg getting 10,000 page hits per day to this page. Which in my eyes is a great number to start a CPM campaign.

What I'm looking for I guess is advice from you guys about CPM banners and where is the best place to go for this service to fully utilise my page views per day?Have you any experience with any providers you think are good to go with?

Included is a screenshot of our website for those who were wondering.

Thanks and i really appreciate your feedback.

  • Would be good to at least show a screenshot of your site?

  • Oh sorry didn't realise the site design would be a big thing. I'm on my mobile atm but we run a xenforo forum, pretty modern looking and nice colours all laid out.

  • Sure, mind adding in a screenshot into original post later? Can give some ideas on that :)

    Yea no problem at all, il get onto it once the festivities have died down a little. Like i said though most traffic goes through our gameservers which load on map change / connect a single MOTD page. This is where i have in the past been putting any ads.

    So basically a good website, but with one page that takes the brunt of it.

  • Updated the first post with a screenshot.

  • Maybe the sides, if you have something vertical? Otherwise, I'm pretty sure it would make the page look a little too cluttered.

    Can't imagine how the page would look if you place a horizontal banner anywhere on that page though, probably will look really weird.

  • I suggest you at least move to DOS as CP/M is quite outdated.

    Okay so basically i think you all have the end of the stick.

    I run a community of gameservers and each connect / map change users are shown our MOTD page which links to one page on our website... NOT the home page i shown in the picture but one shown below.

    To this page we get around 10k hits a day, we previously ran 3 adverts and had around 22-30k impressions a day.

    What im asking for is what's the best ad network other then google to go to.

    I am only looking to be putting ads on this one page.

  • By the looks of it, you'll be showing ads to people that will be on the loading screen. When they're on the loading screen, they cannot click the ads, at all. Impossible.

    I would suggest contacting whatever ad network you'll decide on to ask if this is okay, otherwise you may see yourself getting suspended rather quick.

    I think you are massively over-estimating what you're going to get from CPM on a MOTD page.

    You might best off using one of the sourcemod MOTD ad plugins, they are ads specifically meant for the MOTD page.

    Thats incorrect you can click on MOTD pages. I've used google adsense before on it and that is where those figures above came from. We also had a large number of CPC.

    I've used an ad network via sourcemod before as well as google ads. Looking to cut out the middle man and look at bigger CPM's now we have a bigger community. The figures i quoted above were from adsense with around 150+ clicks in 4 days and 40k+ page views.

  • "each connect / map change" - I took that as it would be during the loading screen. As an actual MOTD page it would be fine. Adsense is a joke imho, and they will find any reason to ban your account even if you follow every strict guideline they have.

    That's exactly the issue i have had. 4 days in... £130 acc and then they ban due to invalid activity. Now i can see on their behalf its a new account its got a lot of views etc but reallyyy... Appealed and turned down. Hense why im looking for other CPM / CPC networks that any of you have experience with.

    You can display AD's sure, but it pisses people off, often you hear the Vids in full volume and yeah.

    It does generate some money, for example 20 Slots Gameserver, 8 Hours+ full everyday generates about 7EUR for 30 Days, which is not really worth it.

    Get 5 People to donate 1.50 and you get more.
