Do you have a high-traffic website and are looking to monetize the footer of your website with CPM ads?
Here, I have compiled a list of the best CPM ad networks that a publisher like you can join & start earning money.
What are CPM ads?
CPM (cost per thousand impressions) advertisements are a great way to earn income with your blog. CPM advertising pays you according to the number of impressions received on an advertisement.
An “impression” means a single instance of an advertisement appearing on your website. This means that even if your readers are not clicking on your blog’s ads, with CPM ads, you can still get paid.
Note: To ensure a better income from CPM ads, be sure to place them in prominent positions on your site.
You might find CPM ads very appealing, but they work best for bloggers who get a high volume of traffic. If you are driving traffic in the area of thousands of visitors per day, then you can get a good amount of money from CPM ads.
Most CPM networks pay $1 to $10 per one thousand impressions (depending upon various factors).

I don’t believe Ads Optimal are based out of the USA. They have incorrect English on the front page from the dashboard. I’ve seen two sentences not spelt correctly. I’d say they are Indian or something similar.
i am using bidcpm.com really great ad network i have received bid amount in a month thanks for sharing i can use theme too thanks
I’m actually interested on Amazon, but I prefer WordAds, because WordAds much higher earn than Adsense.. WordAds with Pay per impression and Adsense Pay per click 🙂
Hi harsh.
Really nice article for new bloggers. I have one question in my mind, what should I choose first Adsoptimal or Propeller and what are there CPM rates approx.
Thank you
@Vishwajit
If you have U.S. based traffic I would suggest try Amazon CPM ads. For me they are working out great!
Can i place Amazon CPM ads and Adsense ads on same page?
Hi Harsh,
This is Saurabh from teacoffeebible.com
Hope you remember and are doing well. I could not find how to enroll in Amazon CPM advertising. I have majority of traffic from US, could you get me the link you used to sign up for amazon CPM.
I have already signed up to Amazon Associates program.
@Saurabh
They are slowly rolling out. I use VPN service to use U.S. proxy & that helps me to get access to many services before they are launched outside U.S. Now you know the trick & I hope it works for you too.
I have contacted them regarding Amazon CPM and I got a response from a high official (cannot reveal for obvious reasons) and he said that it’s currently only for US publishers and no plans to expand in the near future.
Also, if you are using VPN service to use US proxy, make sure you are currently earning at least $100/month from Amazon Associates, which again is another pre-requisite.
Hope this helps!
Hi Harsh,
What about the best CPM ad network in india ????…..I need my online business to get promoted to wider financial customers…
Good list, I didn’t heard about some of them. I think its better to build a decent traffic to blog before going for CPM Ad Networks.
i always use adsense but not best pay high cpc and cpc is 0.15$ And this is joke for hindi blogger .
main question
what we can use any cpm ads network with google adsense ( any cpm ads network )
Wow, It’s great list of CPM Ad Programs. But these are for high traffic blogs. Now I have no much traffic.
But I will try in coming days, when getting high traffic.
thanks for the list, Harsh Bro….! For beginners these are nice suggestions only after reaching a good number of visits per month. to get the blog money rolling investment money needs to be put in for content and SEO….,
This is a solid list. I think I’ve worked with over half of these networks. A couple others that generate good CPM’s is Envero Media which provide sponsored content at the bottom of articles and provide games widgets which monetise high CPM video ads.
As we know it’s Pay per click (PPC) ad network that means you get paid when your visitor click on ads. Tough, usually visitor doesn’t click on an ad. but the fact is that Adsense earning is depends on many factors like high CPC keyword targeting, country of the visitor, cpc, ctr, etc.
ValueClickMedia works amazing for me. It could be a better alternatives to ad sense when you have some huge traffic. Thanks for sharing other networks, I will try them too.
my site more than 50000 page view per month but google absence don’t approve my account so tell me which cpm ads network good for me I am waiting for replay
Which niche you have? If you have tech or any good niche try for Media.net It’s very good but bit hard to get approval.
Media.net is working great even giving me more than Adsense…..
Hey Pawan.
How much you’re getting through media.net as per impressions, because they are showing me zero revenue from last week and my impressions are normally 1-2K. But still the revenue is zero. I already mailed them but still not response from one week and when I read the reviews of media.net in google then everyone is facing same issue…
So, please clarify about your account.
Thanks
Also getting same problem as you mention and the main issue is that they people are not reply even after one month.
I think brother you can try with pay per signup offers & free offers & some direct offers.in this way you can generate healthy click rate.Mine is 11.5% for this month with earning 203.32$
From Mixed advertising.I hope that helps
Thank you.
I am starting a new sports oriented blog. I’m really concerned with SEO and traffic issues right now. But I also want to know how much they give for one CPM? Because on some blog I have read they will give only 0.5$ for Indians and even less! Is it true?
And I really appreciate your articles, this is eespecially good for beginners like me. Thanks you..!
Use Chitika And Cliksor
Chitika don’t pay for Indian traffic.
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 2015. 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?
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.
Hi Harsh,
I have a educational site and I am from India. Which one will be best for me?
If any viewer view my site from US then am I get a different rate for those viewer?
Thanks,
Partha
Hi,
Which of these pays the highest cpm for Indian traffic ? Personal experience would be beneficial.
3$ is highest and minimum.I saw with an ad-network for Indian traffic.Forgot it Now Sorry.but good network for you can be hubtraffic and srnk.co (new one not tried by me) but first one would be recommended
can anyone give a good cpm ad network that pays more than $1 per 1000 visitors for Indian traffic.
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.
Hi,
Great list, which I will bookmark. Eespecially useful as I’m thinking of trying out something other than adsense on a site.
Many thanks
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.
Have you or any readers faced these types of issues? As I’m reaching 5000 daily PV, looking for a best CPM network.
Hi Dinesen,
Which one offer best rate and also good one according to criteria you mentions.
Thanks,
Partha
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.
