Ask YC: Would like to start CPM/Banner advertising for my startup. Best ad network to use?

tribal fusion, valueclick, and burst media are ones to consider trying, but they all also require applications.

they have traffic requirments, too, but they're more reasonable than FM, down in the 2000 uniques or 100k pageviews range.

OK, we're well above that so will give those a try. Cheers!

All of those networks will pay low CPMs though, that's the issue. It is blind network stuff, by and large. Low = less than $1 CPM per ad unit.

If its really $1CPM, we're better off sticking to Google Adsense where we can get higher than $1 eCPM.

It's $1CPM at best. The range is sort of 40c - 70c, from memory. They talk big but it's just distressed inventory, nothing targeted.

tribal fusion can and will more than $1 CPM, depending on the site and category and such. i know that for a fact. can't speak to the other sites, don't have enough experience.
