    I can't reply to your comment but it takes about three minutes for it to match properly, if you could email your url to dom@emberads.com I'll take a look

    We've had requests from both publishers and retailers for CPC / CPM pricing and our system is built to handle that, it's just a case of finding some time in the schedule to build and promote it!

    We are working on different ads styles all the time to make sure they convert, I've see the Deck ones before and whilst they look good, I believe they are paid on a CPM basis so are more for branding than actual clicks (but that doesn't mea
