What are some good CPM advertisers for SMALL sites?

[Waldo]

Hi,

I'm curious as to what are some of the best CPM (impression based) advertisers out there right now for small sites. I want something that pays reliably and has fairly good pay rates too. Please let me know what you know of and rate them in the areas of reliability and pay rates.

--Edit: By a "small" site I mean under 10,000 monthly impressions but growing. Any sites that require up to 30,000 monthly impressions I AM interested in!!

I'm looking for companies that do Banners AND popups. The company does not have to do both; a good company which runs one or the other will be great.

Also, what is the current Click through ratio?

If anyone also has any good, reliable click-based companies they would like to recommend, that would be appreciated as well.

I need a sponsor! :)

Some in that market worthy of exploration are:

1. BurstMedia - Great service, very responsive, supports banners, popups, buttons and cubes. Rates likely $0.20-$0.60 Net CPM, depending on content channel and contract rate.
2. FastClick - minimum 2500 impressions. Fantastic banner/popunder provider. Expect rates similar to Burst!'s on banners, and about $1.20-$2 CPM on popunders
3. Banner-Mania - dodgy technology and support, but reasonable rates (about $0.20-$0.40CPM), and automatic acceptance for most.
4. ContentZone - Low rates, but good technology. Be wary of 24/7 Media's precarious financial situation.
5. AmazingMedia and FocusIN - Not favorites of this forum's members (and for good reason, in most cases), but these are reasonably good banner/popup providers for small sites.
6. PopupTraffic - Solid popup/popunder provider. Pays $2-$3CPM for uniques.

Best of luck :)
