I've been using adsense on several of my PPC sites for 6 months now and have steadily seen a decrease in CPC revenue across all sites, including some formerly profitable, supposedly "high paying" niches like home equity loans. I started to experiment with Kontera and Bidvertiser and here are my findings:
-Kontera: CTR tends to be high but the little pop ups are so damn annoying. The first 2 weeks of using Kontera, I made 8 cents per click and now it's up to about 12 cents... so obviously still shit. I gave up on them after a month.
-Bidvertiser: Decent CPC (25-35 cents), but the amount of advertisers they have are so few that it's difficult to match relevant ads to content.
-YPN: Applied today and am awaiting their response.
Question: Of the 15 or so other CPC networks out there, what are some of the more experienced guys seeing as being the most contextually relevant and higher cpc's?
