I added Qadabra about a week ago to my blogs and Lab World.Together,I get around 500-600 visits daily.However,average eCPM is $0.3.One day,they gave me eCPM of $23 but on other days,it ranges from $0.1 to $0.3.They claim that with time,the ads become more relevant.Has anyone worked with qadabra before?Is it legit and does the eCPM really increase with time?

I haven't yet applied for Adsense,since my blogs aren't yet 6 months old.

Short version for (and thanks to for the links): Qadabra has been used by small publishers, but experiences are mixed — some publishers report being paid while many report low, inconsistent eCPMs and aggregator pages list the network as inactive/closed. Treat it as an experiment rather than a reliable long-term replacement for AdSense. (adswiki.net)

Why you see a $23 spike one day and $0.10 another: eCPM is volatile on small traffic volumes. A single high-paying CPA/campaign conversion or very targeted ad impression can make a small sample look like a huge eCPM; on most days with normal impressions eCPM for general blog traffic often sits well below $1 unless you have highly targeted, Tier‑1 visitors or premium ad formats. Algorithm “learning” can help, but don’t expect dramatic, sustained jumps from an unproven network. (adpushup.com)

What to do with 500–600 visits/day

  • Keep testing Qadabra if you want immediate, low-barrier monetization, but measure net revenue (after fill and fees) and watch payments closely.
  • Try small-publisher-friendly options (pop/pop‑under or CPA networks) only if you accept the UX hit — they often pay better on tiny sites but are intrusive and incompatible with AdSense. (beingoptimist.com)

Longer-term plan (recommended)

  • Aim for AdSense when eligible and, as traffic grows, consider ad managers like Ezoic or Mediavine (they require substantially more traffic/quality but usually pay better). Treat Qadabra or pop networks as short-term patches while you optimize content, audience geography, and placements. (herpaperroute.com)

Quick checklist to apply right away

  • Break down eCPM by page and country, test one network at a time, set a sensible payout threshold, and keep screenshots/payment proof. If a network’s payouts look irregular, stop running it and request payout proof before increasing exposure. For a deeper publisher discussion see this thread with publisher reports: DigitalPoint discussion on Qadabra payouts. (forums.digitalpoint.com)

Conclusion: reasonable to test, but don’t expect AdSense-level returns — focus on growing targeted traffic and use Qadabra only as a secondary experiment while you validate payments and long-term reliability.
