It is difficult to get in, but once in, you will be satisfied.
There is a field asking the referral during signup process, we used Ankur’s website (Windows8Beta) as he informed us about Lake Quincy. You can use our website’s name as referral, if you want, but kindly check whether your blog / website fulfills the above mentioned criterion before applying.
Pay rates and Advertisement formats?
It is a CPM type Advertisement network. Exceptionally high pay rates. Atleast you will earn double that of Google Adsense. The Advertisement formats are:
468×60 Standard Banner
728×90 Leaderboard
336×280 Large Rectangle
300×250 Medium Rectangle
120×600 Skyscraper
160×600 Skyscraper Wide
125×125 Square
There are many other types of custom advertisement units; like Dog Ear ads, Sponsored White Papers, Text Link ads, Video Sponsorship, Product Showcases, E-newsletter placements etc.
Increase in clicks will optimize your pay rates as click through rate will be increased too. Publisher compensation is paid at a rate of 50% of the gross value of every advertisement shown on the member site multiplied by each advertisement’s share of impressions that was shown on the member site.
Support
We tried to contact with other Advertisement companies we used ago. Frankly for Google adsense, they will not hear you if you are a small to medium size website. DexMedia responses, but late. Others never responded (Technorati media, Adbrite etc).
Lake Quincy Media has high quality few website / blogs and Christina Green is the person who (generally) replies for any support. We must say, she is very polite and responds within 4-5 hours.
Payout
Payments are made by check or via Paypal NET 60 from the end of the month in which the compensation was earned. As a rule, members are only sent payment via check when their total balance exceeds $100 or $10 via PayPal.
Reporting
Very easy to understand reporting system for the past days. Impression, number of clicks and money earned are shown by date.

Hello Sir,
Can you tell me how much LakeQuincy’s CPM rate is? Is there any additional value of clicks?
> $ 2 (depends on many variables, can be $ 10). Clicks definitely adds more value. You need not to calculate CPM rates with LakeQuincy. Simply apply to LakeQuincy > Add Advertisements in prominent places > Get ~ $ 5-7 / 2000 unique visitors. Rate varies.
Its getting more hard to get in to LakeQuincy now. They are dropping some bigger blogs for not abiding their requirements.
Hi Abhishek,
My site was just approved by Lake Quincy Media. And I’ll set up their ads soon.
I just wanted to know if you’re still using their ads on this site? and what is the CPM rate they are offering now?
Congrats Shivam!
With Lake Quincy just set up the Ads in prominent places on your website / blog and forget about the rest. Unlike Google AdSense you will have an Account Manager to whom you can ask about anything.
Yes, we are still using Lake Quincy Media Ads and there is no reason from our side to discontinue LQM.
