2008 has been a very interesting yer here at Crenk. Crenk was launched mainly as a hobby for me to review new startups. Since that time we have had several writers head over to Crenk and help us out with content, including Ades, Kenneth, Mike, Luis, and our newest writer Matt.

In 2008 we have written over 760 posts on various topics. Crenk has also been recognised by some of the biggest names in technology including Guy Kawasaki (who put us towards the top of alltop), Thomas Marban (placing Crenk on Popurls). Additionally, we have our articles syndicated by Reuters, Google News, Livestrong and Computer Shopper.

In terms of subscribers we have had a huge increase throughout the year, mainly because of our partnership with Blogrovr which now means we have over 20,ooo subscribers to Crenk.

In terms of advertisers who have pretty much kept this site in business we would like to thank Adphilia for their hard work in bring in at least some income for the site, as well as TribalFusion.

What can you expect from Crenk for 2009? Crenk in 2009 will be bringing you a lot more startups that are making splashes all around the web, as well as that we hope to offer startups so free advertising on the site.

Tribal Fusion has to be one of the worlds leading online ad networks. Tribal Fusion works in the same way as most ad networks in that they select various sites in various verticals and then sell run of the networks ads. This allows them to get some great advertisers on board because of the amount of total impressions running in those verticals.

Tribal Fusion is quite exclusive and sometimes hard to get an account, it mainly depends on if their campaigns on are target. If you are lucky enough to get a Tribal Fusion account then you can expect $1 – $3 CPM rates, however the split is 55/45, 55% going to the publisher. Thus, after Tribal Fusion take their cut you can really expect an eCPM of about $1.00 on average.

Recently Tribal Fusion launched their new ad serving platform, Expo 9. Expo 9 allows all publisher the ability to control their remnant ad serving. Expo 9 is easy to set up remnant tags and also the ability to use their ad server to sell private ads. That all being said expect a fill rate of approx 50 – 70% for most blogs.

Tribal Fusion is what I call a top tier ad network, in that they provide one of the highest CPM rates in the industry. If you get a chance make sure you head over to Tribal Fusion and give them a go.

Over the past 6 months I have been taking a keen interest in advertising online. Most new ventures are trying to find business models that can sustain them online, but it is quite difficult to know where to start. Advertising is the main form of monetization on the web at present time, and with this being the case there are more and more advertising networks poping up. These networks range from affiliate networks, CPC and even CPM.

In this article I am going to focus on CPM advertising networks. CPM means cost per mille, so every 1000 times your ad is views you earn a certain amount of money. Below is a quick list of some CPM networks that might help new publishers gain some well earned money. Normally, rates can vary depending upon several factors, type of site, type of traffic, locations and more. However, these networks will definitely be able to help you.
