Default Does anyone here use CPMStar?

I just got an acceptance into CPMStar, but I have a fair eCPM with adsense, I am wondering if it is advisable to switch. Does anyone here use them? Any ideas on the average CPM your getting.

I see some big sites using this, so I assume they are good, just wondering if any medium sites (100k impressions a month) have had any experience with them.

Alot of top gaming websites around use them there rates are amazing and payouts are top too according to alot of people i know anyway..

Getting into CPMStar is dam hard if your only at the medium level so congrats on getting into the place.

I think you should run them for a while then compair it to your adsense results see if its better for you or not. Well thats the wise way to figure it out anyway...

Most have a very bad eCPM with them unless yo are very big. My friend uses them and gets ~$0.35 eCPM. He emailed them about it and they sent him a 2 page eBook on how to make more from them.

CPMStar is owned by NewGrounds.com btw.

eCPM was great for about 2 months but now its no so great. A bit less than adsense.

Most of their ad sizes have a low CPM. The only ones really worth testing/running are the 300x250 and their editorials (direct links to games).

I started using them in Feb/March was getting an okay CPM (~0.11 per 1000 imp for my 728x90) but they don't geo target so it's good to send them my asian traffic. However starting July things has gone bad so much, now i am making 0.05~0.06 per 1000 imp which was like half of what i was making on the months before. Anybody experience a huge drop in cpm?

That is not even close to a good CPM. I hope I do better or back to Intergi I go. Intergi gives me an eCPM of $1.25+

Well, I am not running an arcade site. I am running a game site with a lot of impressions from many different countries. When you are at that that you can't expect the average cpm will be as high running a small site with mostly american traffic. I too use Intergi and it can't even fill 3000 impressions a day even if i send it all US traffic.
