Well I have figured it down a very large number. $100 per million ad-zone views.
This is with all the ad options on and 1 seperate CPC text banner.

Are your results still better with FOA? I am looking a moving back to Adbrite or another network from Canep.

I joined up with FOA this year & am making way more with them with less impressions than Canep is using. As for GI I made $3 one day but am now back to pennies a day with them, I need to find a replacement & fast.

Canep does gd on some days while bad on other days. After I have enabled full page ads on adbrite.. adbrite is doing very well for me.

what keywords are you using? Any other secrets you care to share? I went from $10+ a day to 5-6 cents, I did nothing different. I have tried creating new zones for each site, changing keywords but I still am getting the same 5-6 cents, 85% of my traffic is from US & Can.

I believe choosing a related categories might have some effect. Rather than categorized your site under technology, make it under education or entertainment.

already tried that, anything else?

Hmm to answer your qn Anubis, previously I have had some proxies getting very good US traffic yet receiving only a few cents. What I did was delete those ad zones and re-implement new ad zones into them. After I did that, somehow magically one by one the cpm starts going up again.

As for the keywords, I thought of them creatively. My suggestion would be to use keywords ads that are attractive and appealing to your visitors. For example, most of my visitors are females so though my site may not be about jewelery but one of my keywords is jewelery in adbrite and that would bring forth some ads on jewelery which is high paying as well as it brings in higher CTR for adbrite. This helps to keep CPM for adbrite ads up I guess.

Adbrite is paying crappy latley. 100,000 ad-zone views a day and getting like $5.
