CPMLeader review : CPM advertising network

CPMLeader review

As the name suggests CPMLeader is one of the leading CPM ad networks in the recent times. CPMLeader worked well for many small publishers across the world. On the other side some publishers criticized for banning accounts without valid reasons and poor support. At  the end of the day one could see the mixed reactions on this network from publishers.

No ad network is free from criticism till date. The reason is quite simple ; The ads performance varies from publisher to publisher. The performance depends on certain factors like traffic, location, usage of ads, placement of ads etc.

CPMLeader has clearly specified CPM rates according to location and size of ads. No CPM network has done it so far. It really made easy for publishers to tally their earnings.

Joing CPMLeader publisher program is easy when compared to other CPM networks. But, they don’t accept normal blogspot blogs. This is a bad news for small blogspot bloggers. At the same time high quality blogspot sites have more chances to get approved.

Note: CPMLeader publishers must ensure that their sites are clean i.e. free from objectionable content.

CPMLeader offers 468×60, 300×250, 728×90 and  160×600 size banners. Among all sizes 300×250 banner could fetch more income. Publishers could use maximum 3 ad units per page.
