How to get CPM ads on Adsense, Suffering Low Clicks

[dhaliwal]

I have heard that Adsense is also paying on CPM basis. Is this under control of the publisher to get CPM ads or its decided by the system.

Second issue is that i have an image hosting website. The site is having a very very low click thru, The placement is fine, but the users are not clicking.

Should i go to some CPM network which is paying based on Banner Impressions only? If yes, please suggest some with good payouts.

I've heard those kinds of web sites have very low CTR with Adsense... same as the other thousands of clone sites on Flash games or proxies or discussion boards. You're probably better off finding other source of revenues (such as CPM advertising like DoubleClick) or maybe start another web site on a different topic.

Image hosting website + Adsense = Wrong. That makes sense too, as you would want ads related to the image's content and you're getting ads based on the domain now, probably.

Try affiate systems, try CPM ads if you have MASSIVE amounts of traffic, or try more aggressive systems like Adbrite who allow you to be a #*$! and who also look less like ads... It's against my ethics, but it COULD work ;)

I think most CPM from google is targeted. It seems hard to get them, as they kinda have to want you, and target you first.

A good alternative is affliates.
