Alternatives to Adsense to Consider

68

By wvierra

Why The Alternative?

Well I thought about that question once or twice, then I had a friend who didn't get accepted for Google AdSense and thought you know there has to be a way that people can make money like I do but with maybe another company. So I thought why not look into it and sure enough I was finding quite a few good sources for people to try for.

So with a little bit of time and effort I was able to comprise a short list of places that people can make money with their website or blog. I hate seeing people get turned down for something, and because I was accepted by Google I never gave it much thought until the other day, that there are those who did not. Naturally I could have made this list huge, but I happen to be on a tight schedule and may reconsider a larger list in the future.

So sit back and enjoy reading and checking out this list, and as always I hope I have provided a needed service for the people here on hubpages and hope I do so many times in the future.

Adsense Alternatives

AdBrite

AdBrite offers publishers the possibility of integrating text ads in their pages. These are done on your own rates, with the websites you approve by hand so it bares some similarities with a classic advertising scheme. You also have the option of adding a "Your Add Here" button that buyers can immediately click to ad space on your page. It can also be used in conjunction with Google AdSense, maximizing your CTR and offering advertisers the possibility of showing their links in your Google AdSense space. You have full control over the look and feel of your adds and finally, you get an incredible 75% of what the advertiser pays for on every click.

ADSDAQ

At ADSDAQ the publisher gets to set a price for the ads, where the advertisers compete for placement on your site. the revenue is tallied up based on ePM or (per 1,000 impressions) and with you setting the price, you are sure to make money. No more guessing how much you are getting payed, now all you have to do is look at your traffic.

Bidvertiser

Much like AdSense, Bidvertiser displays text ads in your page.What makes this different however, is the fact that the advertisers bid over you advertising space, which insures you as much money as you possibly can. This also means that the bids will also increase over time, earning you even better money. You also can customize your ads with very easy to use tool and detailed reports to your sites status.

Chitika

Chitika uses Artificial intelligence to retrieve the most relevant ads for your page. And there's an extra feature which makes Chitika unique as well. Keywords are selected based upon which previous selections payed off and which didn't. That means there's a constant feedback process that ensures you gain better revenue from your ads. It also supports blocking certain adds and child-safe filtering and many more options.



Clicksor

Clicksor is very good and quality Google AdSense alternative. Allowing you many advertisement types at good click-through-rate. Allowing you to use Contextual and many other ad types that are not supported by Google.

InLinks

inLinks places links within the content area of your web pages.You get paid a flat rate per month per ad sold.they also allow you to approve or deny ads that show up on your site, or you can have them handle that for you. This is for a blogging website (this does not apply to article sites), which they supply the code that you can copy and past into your blog.then you just sit back and collect the revenue.

MIVA AdRevenue Xpress

MIVA AdRevenue Xpress is targeted towards small and mid-sized publishers. It implements Search Box functionality and also features things like a Category Directory as well as the handling of 404 error pages. It can be integrated with your page using a simple on-line wizard.

Nixie

Nixie states that their technology can read and understand the make up of your site, therefore allowing them to display the most relevant content for your site. Besides using text ads, Nixie also features a price comparison listings and live auction advertising. It's very simple to implement into your site and they have a very good payment policy as well.

Quigo AdSonar

Quigo AdSonar places a filter on based on your sites categories to achieve relevancy. they also offer one-line reports of your sites status for the possibility to add your own custom ads replacing ads that do not gain you any revenue. The setup is very easy, it is similar to AdSense's and is very customizable as well.

ValueClickMedia

valueclickmedia format is much like AdSense in functionality, They offer a robust tracking system so that you can keep track of where your clicks are coming from as well as to which ads are producing revenue. with big companies such as Best Buy, and McDonald's you are assured you will get good advertisers on your site.With them being in business for over twelve years you can be assured they know what their doing and will always be there in the future.

Vibrant Media IntelliTXT

Vibrant Media IntelliTXT offers user-activated ads, highlighting certain words within the content of the page and presenting relevant ads when a user hovers his mouse over them. It uses a pay-for-performance pricing scheme and can easily be used along with other advertising methods, because it is unobtrusive. It places you in full control, allowing you to easily integrate it within your site with some simple JavaScript.

Conclusion

First off I like to state I tried to plug into Yahoo's Publishing Network, however it turns out they no longer have it up an running even though they still have a link leading to that part of their network, but the page is no longer there.

As you can see there are many other ways you can monetize your website without the use of Google. So if you didn't get the chance to hope on the Google wagon, then just give these sites a go and see if there is a fit for you and your website or blog.

You've got a good list of Adsense alternatives, you're also right about Yahoo Publishers Network which stopped last year or thereabout. YPN then referred publishers on their platform to move to Chitika publisher ad network.

Chitika ad formats or layouts for websites are quite unique and of a great alternative in terms of ads relevance to site content and earnings. Quite interesting. Thank you.
