Hi Mika,

We will accept just about any web site written in English, and based in an English speaking country (US, UK, Canada, Australia, etc.)

We currently do not have an enforced policy regarding site traffic, however we do require that your site be of quality (no full page, all ad sites allowed.)

I am sure that there are a few of our members on this site who would be happy to share their experiences with us :)

Regards,
Dan

Hmm, Your plan sounds good however 2cpc rate just doesn't capture my interest, I might still apply though.

Given that it is not the best rate in the industry, but we have filled over 95% of all our inventory for the past six months. In fact, one of our sites is averaging $1.2 CPM right now!

They are paid our CPC rate, however are a very well targeted site for the ads we are sending them and are getting a very good CTR, and hence a very good average CPM ;)

To be perfectly clear, they are not the rule, most of our sites are getting around 30-60 cents CPM average, some more, some less.

dkAds=the best ad network I have ever been with. You email support, you get a reply within 5 minutes. And this was not just a one off, I emailed them about 5 times with various requests and questions and they always emailed me back within 5 minutes with the correct answer!

I realy recommend them!

apache12345,

While I am unsure of what you actually are asking, this is my best guess/answer:

We sell ads on our network. We paid for an ad FOR our company to be at the top of this forum.

Our network sites display ads for our clients.

I don't get it...How is anyone going to make any money with the payout being $0.02 per click and the minimum amount being $35? Only the most popular sites could accomplish that...

Wow, average CPM of 30-60 cents. This amounts to a 2% CTR... :eek:

http://www.dkads.com/payment.shtml states that the low CPC is due to "a large amount of publisher fraud." Can you tell me how does lowering CPC help reduce publisher fraud?

Because they have less to gain and they will move onto another network :rolleyes:

We used to have a more-clicks-higher-payment plan set up. Webmasters who sent a large amount of clicks would be paid more.

A lot of people felt it was ok to abuse this policy and because of that we have had to put it on pause until we figure out a better way to block cheaters.

Oh well, the few ruin it for the many. ...

This one is pretty simple: send lots of clicks.

AllClicks, a SI program, pays out 3 cents per click and requires $50.00 before you get paid.

We sent a bunch of checks last pay period, and more coming this one ;)

We do support many ad sizes, you just have to ask for non 468 ads.

Our rates are *only* $0.02 CPC, sometimes more if your traffic is of high quality.

We do not pay CPM.

Does different Ad sizes equate to better pay rates?
danushman
January 22nd, 2002, 18:26
Pay rates, at this time, depend entirely on the quality of traffic you send, not the amount of traffic.

Spec,

Our contract is non-exclusive, as long as you don't use more than two other ads on the same page as one of our ads.

dkads has been a pretty good company, as far as we can tell. We are testing them out on some of our hostees, but everyone keeps seeing the same banners, and each day our CTR goes down down down :-(

the support is great, emails within the hour (usually), I just wish our gaming network could get some banners visitors would be interested in. It's a hard time for the ad networks, but DKads is doing a lot of good things. If they could maybe up their pay rate, and get some more advertisers, we'd really start putting them on more hostees and such.

Hi,

You should be seeing around 10-30 different ad campaigns on our
network as of lately, we have sold out for January and are working to do the same for Feb. :)
