This thread is a useful snapshot — thanks to for the request and to , , , and for the crowdsourced lists — but the replies were posted in 2009. Networks, business models and terms change over time, so the most valuable addition is a practical, evergreen way to evaluate and test any CPC/CPM/CPA/CPL option rather than another static list.

Focus on outcomes, not labels. Match the pricing model to the objective (brand reach vs direct response), then compare the same performance metric across candidates. For publishers that care about display revenue the single best comparative metric is eCPM (effective CPM). For advertisers running offers, compare conversion rate and cost-per-acquisition adjusted for traffic quality. Always check fill rate, geo/device coverage, creative types allowed, reporting granularity and the network’s traffic-validation practices.

Quick, repeatable measurement:

eCPM = (Total Revenue / Total Impressions) * 1000

Example:
Revenue = 150.00
Impressions = 25000
eCPM = (150 / 25000) * 1000 = 6.00

Rule of thumb for testing: run a candidate long enough to collect stable data — typically at least 10–14 days and several thousand impressions, or 50+ conversions for CPA offers. Change one variable at a time (creative, placement, model) so results are attributable.

Operational checklist before signing on:

  • Confirm payment terms, thresholds, reserves and chargeback policy.
  • Verify reporting cadence and reconcile network reports with server/analytics data.
  • Require fraud/invalid-traffic controls and ask how disputes are handled.
  • Check attribution window and postback/S2S capability for CPA.
  • Measure viewability, page load/SDK impact and ad format support.
  • Ensure legal/privacy compliance (current regional laws and platform rules).

These steps fill the gaps left by the raw lists in the replies and create a repeatable way to evaluate any ad network regardless of name or era.
