ZDNet is similarly priced, though I've found them more amenable to working deals if the minimum monthly outlay of cash is significant. Raise that monthly minimum, and the CPM might come down a few bucks. Check with the ad networks first for these kinds of sites. You might be surprised what deal you can work. Portals and search engines have a wide variety of CPMs.
Community sites remain a bargain.
Though in my experience they still don't pay out very often, they are too good a deal NOT to test. The financial category is an interesting one when it comes to CPMs. There are a lot more categories of sites than covered here, of course, but hopefully this is helpful is setting price expectations. In general, negotiating down CPMs is still very possible, often by as much as 50 percent of published rate card. But expect it not to be quite as easy as it was.
