I inadvertantly found out how to get 1,000,000 impressions in about 2 hours. As amusing as it was, it killed my server. Also killed my eCPM rates as it was all iranian traffic. Got me into the top 10,000 sites in iran over night which was pretty cool.
As soon as I disabled hotlinking (yeah. woops) things went back to normal, my server load plumited, and I was actually making more money because there was a better amount of US traffic that could get there without the middle-east swarm. lol.
If you are getting 200k impressions, you should be making enough that dedicated hosting won't be a problem. If you're noticing that even that number of impressions is making next to nothing, look at where it is comming from. Disable hotlinking, make sure you're using a robots file. I also set up a seperate proxy site just for my iranian/russian traffic. It keeps the US/AU/UK ratios on other sites up so they earn more, and allows me to still serve middle eastern traffic.
Just remember to place some serious restrictions (and serious advertising) on the site dedicated to iranian traffic, because it isn't worth much, so you need to maximise as much as you can.
