I dropped them after a month or so. They over promised and under delivered. I did much better with adsense. I dropped them and wouldn't recommend them.

I've been using them for about a month now. I have them on a couple of sites. CPMs range from $10 to $160. On some sites it does better than AdSense and on others it does worse. I'd recommend split testing with AdSense and see how it does for you.
I've got a buddy that earned $1,500 more last month with Media.net than he did with AdSense the month before.

There is a thread about them in the private yakezie member forums. It almost seems like every single person who tried the system KILLED it their first month and then it drops off HARD.
I used them for 3 weeks. First week was nutty returns and then second and third I got literally nothing. Traffic stayed the same. Seemed way too shady for me.
I'll take my steady couple hundred bucks from adsense per month.

I've been using it since late August. The first 7 weeks were pretty good. The media.net revenue was about equal to my Adsense revenue in that period. The revenue I saw from media.net was a lot more volatile than what I get with adsense. 80% of the revenue came in 10% of the days.
However in mid Oct. I was hit hard by a change in Google algorithm which cut my search traffic drastically. Since then media.net revenue has died out. The type of media.net ad I've been using is a search traffic targetted ad.

I signed up with Media.net after the Financial Blogger Conference and on TFM it has so far done a lot better than Adsense. From looking at previous comments on this thread it looks like that may not last. As long as it keeps making me money I'll keep using it and I'm going to test it on some of my other sites as well.

media.net did very well for me in October, but dropped off in November. We'll see how it goes, but I'll stick with them for now since I got banned from Adsense.

Yeah, especially when they stiffed me $130. Thanks Google.

Hey Tony and RBF – do you guys know why AdSense banned you exactly? If you don't know, any hunches so I can avoid being banned myself!
