That means you'll make a buck or two when the ad is shown 1,000 times. Considering that many blog don't even get 1,000 page views a month, and you can see why I'm not so big on Google Ads anymore. Luckily, there are ad networks that pay a lot more than Google, and by far the most profitable ad network for low traffic blogs is Social Spark. What Is Social Spark?
Social Spark allows bloggers to monetize their blogs with sponsored content. Most of the time, this content is done with a blog post, but there are also sponsored videos and social media campaigns as well. Social Spark is ideal for low traffic blogs because the effective CPM is extremely high.
What's great about Social Spark is that they are always dealing with very high quality and well-known brands. You will actually be writing about content and services that you enjoy using and writing about. Disney and Sears have been some of the huge brands making the most out of their partnerships with Social Spark. How To Make Money with Social Spark

The great thing about Social Spark is it's not very traffic dependent. I would get paid the same amount to write about Disney as a blog with less than 1,000 page view per month. Obviously, this is not fair (you can negotiate a higher rate) and it's the reason you hardly see any Social Spark posts on my blog.
For the low traffic blog, Social Spark is a gold mine. I've seen many blogs with less than 1,000 page views per month making $100 to $1,000 per month off the network. This is worlds away from the $1 to $2 you would make off Google AdSense.
