Webmasters FAQ
Q: What advertisers do you use?
A: As well as private advertisers, M&C uses or has used the following CPM networks:
For CPA we use:
For CPC we use:
With all of the above we have found them to be reliable for payment. However, depending on your site you may have different levels of success with each one.
Gorilla Nation provide M&C with the majority of the advertising you see in the USA.
Tribal Fusion tend to provide the highest quality run of network campaigns and the best CPM for those. Followed by Burst Media and Value Click Media. The later tend to have a lower CPM than Burst but will fill more of your inventory.
For CPC nothing beats Google Adsense, but Yahoo and Microsoft both have programmes either in beta or development.
Q: What CMS do you use?
A: M&C started using the off-the-shelf system Article Manager and some custom database coding. We have since migrated to our own CMS, you can see this working across the site. It allows us to control work flow on articles, manage our media, mange our archive, deal with XML and proprietry feeds from agencies and generally maintain the entire operation from one control panel.
An enhanced version was developed for the May 2007 launch of our German language edition . This will be rolled out to the English version shortly.
Q: Where is the best place to put a Google ad?
A: We are always adjusting the positioning of all our advertising, but have found the box type adsense creative works best jeither top left within article text or just below the end of an article.
Q: Where do you get your content/media?
A: M&C employs more than 20 staff who work on everything from news to reviews. We also use several international news agencies so that we can provide breaking news. In addition we have a small army of volunteers who provide further reviews and features.
Photos come from the likes of EPA, who provide access to all the major photo agencies.
