> we've found this works better with sites that add value I haven't. CPA tends to be the last resort of desperation for publishers -- unless, of course, the publisher's site is focused on the kinds of products advertised in the CPA network. Even still, realized CPM will be low.
We've had requests from both publishers and retailers for CPC / CPM pricing and our system is built to handle that, it's just a case of finding some time in the schedule to build and promote it!
Sorry Dom but I think unless you have CPC/CPM pricing you have no right of calling this Adsense replacement. 2-3 years back I would be applauding for launching something that could have potential to be an Adsense competitor but these days there are tons of ad-networks that monetize sites on CPM level quite well. I don't see how any publisher who has some experience in monetizing content would go for your CPA solution when there are CPM/CPC networks which user can make more money with.

#63Seems like adblock got a new entry in the list. Seriously guys, aren't there any alternatives to ads? I just used a PC without adblock yesterday and the browsing experience was horrible. Popups, which hide the content and have no close button(appears after 10 seconds), blinking ads, flash ads and other colorful ads. I'd never buy any product just because it was advertised somewhere. Thats the reason why I still stick…
What made you decide to buy your current brand of toothpaste ?

Exaggerate much?
How much horrible would the "browsing experience" be without the sites to which you "browsed" since advertising is _currently_the_only_monetization_model available to online publishers wishing to provide free content?
But seriously, your gross-exaggeration is in-line with every other slashdot refugee I've seen. The truth is very different (unless you've visiting dodgy sites), I've never browsed with an ad-blocker as I feel ads are a fair exchange for the efforts of those trying to provide free content. And, I've never had the experience you're attempting to pass as reality.
Just sayin'

My family has used Colgate toothpaste since the 60's. Do you really look to advertising to decide on toothpaste choices?

AdSense can throw you out with no explanation given or appeal possible. Just being an alternative is reason enough to exist.

#70I don't feel like loosely targeted PayPerAction ads will do all that well. From a publishers perspective it will almost definitely do worse than AdSense just based on the PPA component. For advertisers this might be nice, but why would they use this when publishers using other PPA platforms like CJ, CB, or LS can build custom tailored websites and landing pages per ad to convert users.
