CPM (Cost per Thousand Impression) based advertisements are good way to earn income with your blog. CPM advertising pays you according to impressions of advertisement. An impression means a single instance of advertisement appearing on your blog which means that even if your readers are not clicking on your blog CPM Ads, then also you are going to be paid. Though if you place CPM ads at a prominent position, this will ensure better income source for you.
You might find the offer very appealing but generally CPM Ads are for the bloggers who get good traffic. If you are driving traffic more than thousands visitors per day then you can get good amount from CPM Ads. Generally a CPM network pays you $1 to $3 per thousand impressions.

If you are interested in making money through CPM Ads then here are 5 CPM advertising program which you can consider:
CPX interactive
CPX interactive is an ad network which provides ads in different size and types of advertisements like banner (468×60), leader board (728×90), Skyscraper, Pop-ups etc. You can select the one which suits your needs and blend with your blog layout. CPX interactive minimum payout is NET 30, $50 and they have 60% payout percentage.
Value Click Media
Value Click Media is another CPM network which requires 3,000 impressions per month for getting the blog approved. Even they have different size and types of advertisements like CPX network. The minimum payout of Value Click Media is $25 and they pay through cheque and PayPal. Value click media is a good alternative for those who can’t get into tribal fusion or Technorati media.
Tribal Fusion
Tribal Fusion require minimum of 500,000 unique users per month. When I checked out their site requirements for publishers, I found it too be very strict. Apart from that, their minimum payout is $50 in net revenue. They pay you with check through mail. So far, Tribal fusion is one of the best CPM network available. Getting into Tribal fusion is the toughest of all. But if you get lucky enough, you can make huge income from Tribal fusion alone.
Technorati Media
Technorati Media gives you different ad images format. Minimum payout criteria is $20. They offer you four kinds of payment that is PayPal, account credit, check or wired transferred. We had some good experience with Tecnorati media and those who get into premium list of Technorati media, claimed that it’s working great for them. Getting into Technoratimedia is not as tough as tribal fusion. Though you might not enjoy the dashboard of Technoratimedia and support of it. But none the less, it’s one of the best CPM ad network which you can try as an alternative to Tribal fusion.
Burst Media
Burst Media only approve the blogs having 25,000 monthly page views or 5,000 monthly unique views. They provide different ad formats like scroll banners, leader boards, skyscraper and pop-ups with different size. Minimum payout is $50 and they pay you through cheque or Paypal.

Ruchi this is a great article. I have an account at Technorati Media but have not tried them. Can we use any of these along with Adsense or will that be against the Adsense Policies. Can you let me know?
Nice share. Many of CPM ad networks are only for those publisher who are getting more than 5000 visitors daily. But i think it depends upon blogging niche and niche saturation.
Thanks Ruchi
Thanks for the list. For the last view days I’m trying to find a good CPM network. There are more famous CPM networks available than mentioned here. Here are the some common issues with CPM networks I found.
1) eCPM is not stable
2) They don’t calculate your all page impressions
3) Your site will not load or slow loading if their ad server is down or busy.
4) Payments delay most of the time.
Ruchi, have you or any readers faced these types of issues? As I’m reaching 5000 daily PV, looking for a best CPM network.
I agree with the fact that if you have many CPM ads then it will effect your loading speed but I never faced break down or not even delay in payments. See you will get all kind of CPM advertising network, it totally depends which one you choose and better to select the popular one.
I strongly believe that Burst Media is completely useless and doesn’t deserve a place in this list, I have been using it for a while, most of the time it only returned community ads, What Burst media can paid me in a month will still be less than my one day payment from ad-sen-se
That’s sad Ramkumar that you had bad experience with Burst Media coz I have few friend bloggers who are doing quite good with same. Anywayz you can try other CPM.
My AdSense pay is on-hold for non-receipt of PIN. It may take a few weeks to get the hold removed. Till then I am trying out some new monetization methods for my blog. I am using infolinks but the earnings are lower than AdSense.
Your post have given me enough info to try out new ways. I am especially interested in ValueClickMedia as PageViews per month for my blog is approx 4500.
Hey Ruchi,
Nice list.. I never tried any of them except tribal fusion and i’ve bad experience with them.
. Going To Check out other Programs.
Thanks for sharing this Great Post.

Nice article Ruchi
my blog has not that much traffic.
Ruchi – Can I use ValueClick Media along with AdSense (in same blog)?
hmm.. i will try all of them.. thanks for sharing this
Hi,
Great list, which I will bookmark. Especially useful as I’m thinking of trying out something other than adsense on a site.
Many thanks
I’m starring this in my reader because I’ve been looking for some CPM models for one of my blogs. It’s tech related so the audience knows quite well what Adsense is and avoids it like the plague.
Great tips.. I have used Value Click, pretty happy with them.
I cant find any payout information inside technorati media control panel. it would be helpful if you can share anything
Thanks Ruchi- four sharing awesome list of CPM, although i don’t use any one but after reading the whole article i found it very useful in future. Right now my blog don’t have enough traffic.
Yes, I have a similar question. But first of all. Thanks for this post and it was very informative and nicely presented.
The question is: Can we have intext advertisements like Infolinks according to Google’s terms and conditions?
I didn’t know about Technorati Engage and CPX interactive before. I am going to try these ad networks. I too feel that Burst Media is not that good. Informative post. Well Done.
post was awesome,but becoming a tribal fusion publisher is very difficult for bloggers.
CPM seems to be attractive but have some issues as mentioned by Dinesh so i am gona wait till my page impression increases till them i am using google.
Thanks for this topic
I am using Traffic revenue and infinity ads.I have 2000 unique daily and earn 2-3 $ daily.Problem is that they only count us and ca traffic.
Do u know any sites which accepts indian traffic??
You are wrong about Technorati Media its inimum payout is 50$
youcan confirm that here http://www.technoratimedia.com/technorati_media/technorati-media-publisher-faq.html
nice article, but you missed a great one, which is Adsdaq,, i used that before and it is one of the best program which changed my life.. so have a look at it,,,
I have a new site submitted to all these but didnot approved yet may be less traffic but hope in future I will be using these network thanks for providing list
Hi,
Which of these pays the highest cpm for Indian traffic ? Personal experience would be beneficial.
Tribalfusion is best in all and their strict rule are the reason for this
Technorati Media is good for Blogs with high traffic, getting an account in Tribal Fusion is too difficult, those can use technorati media. me using it and very much satisfied.
but their customer care sucks
, no replies for any mails. 
Nice post.
I use technoratimedia usually earn $2-4 dollars a day and the most $13.00 in one day,they usually pay on time and are awesome! The only downside is the popup for the survey.
Using burst media . main problem is that it is only for USA and i am getting only 20-40 % of USA visitors
I think these are the best cpm, but the problem with minimum required visitors.
Ali I agree..Most of CPM ad network have a huge criteria in terms of traffic which one need to fulfill to get into the system. Though the good part is, most of them pays really well once you are part of their system.
I am using technoratti media ads on one of my sites for a few days now and the cpm is very low. I do not see a way of filtering ads and their minimum payout is gone up to $50 I made about $0.13 from nearly 2000 pageviews they do not seem to be worth using. Then also that they pay on a net 60 basis that is too long to wait for what they are paying.
Good post, i am getting about 12 to 14 K page loads daily on technoratimedia and ECPM at 0.10 to 0.15, making 1.5 to 2 $ daily, USA daily page loads at 7000 to 8000 , does not find any way why they are paying so low! And not so un lcucky in conversations with their support, they replied me they will pay higher ECPM in last 4 months of year,and if i am unhappy with my ecpm i can move to another network. While they are displaying Goggle adsense on my site using their own accounts most of the time, I do not have adsesense account as it was disabled due to invalid activity, Please suggest me some way!
Thank you for this wonderful post!! We were selling by our own the advertisment spaces and it proved not to be so profitable. We’ll give a try to AdSense first and if nothing cames out of it in 2-3 months, we’ll give a shot to CPX or TechnoratiMedia.
casale media is left behind some how in above discussion
they are very difficult to get into but they really pay good
give them a try
guys can some one say few words about ybrant digital and contextweb?
I am using contextweb. Very low cpm
I am sticking with adsense for now unless I have millions of views per month.
monthly page viewes of my site is 5 millions to 7 millions and now i am using harrenmedia and axill but both of the network give me very low CPM rate just 0.04 to 0.07. Please suggest me highest CPM rate network. My 80% traffic comes from india. Please suggest me those networks which paid on time.
I have been blogging on blogger for fun about cbse and other university for 2 years but just 3 months back i shifted to custom domain with ads when i learnt about its income benefits from your site. thanks for this.
I want to asks you about:
What network will suite me the best. I have around 3500 visitors a month.
“I have one more important question. Can i use other CPM networks along with google adsense. Won’t it anoy google and ban my adsense account? ”
If i can use other networks can i use ozonemedia and value click along with google adsense?
Please reply soon
I have several blogs but only have been up for about a week. So far, I’m up to 124 visits in a single day on one of them (in about a weeks time since being open). I hope I am on track for hitting these bigger numbers. My actual website, my main site, has only been up and running since October of 2011. Are there any CPM advertiser companies that give opportunities to people (sites) that are newer, with less viewers currently. It takes money to make money. And it takes content to drive traffic and traffic drives revenue. However, they are all carefully intertwined together, like a fine dance. I’d love to be able to start a CPM campaign and have a few dollars come in, then have nothing at all.
Any suggestions?
Great list, however I do have a question I hope you might be able to answer. I am the CEO of an online sports writing company and am looking for a program that will allow my writers to earn for their writing. There are a ton of other same-natured companies that offer their writers a 50% revenue share. That’s the type of program I am looking for. Do you have any suggestions.
I truly appreciate any advice you can afford regarding this. Thanks!
This is the main problem with my blog…..”traffic”. I have been working really hard to get more traffic. I want to join in for CPM but before that my main aim is to get more traffic. Anyway, thanks for this list Ruchi
