How to Find Adsense Alternatives Without Going Crazy


You may be thinking of using Google Adsense on your Website or Blog but did you know that you have a whole host of different options available for you if you are looking for Adsense Alternatives or ads to run in conjunction with Adsense. I will go through a list of your options and provide some statistics on each to help you in your quest to monetize your website or blog to the fullest.
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Website
  • Internet
  1. Step1
    *Adbrite*

    I hate to start this off with a negative review but here we go. Adbrite's ads are not very well targeted and thus you may not get very many clicks if you choose to go with them. Also you cannot use any contextual ads (ads that look like Adsense) in conjunction with Adsense.
  2. Step2
    *Clicksor*

    Clicksor has interesting inline ads. These ads pop up through highlighted text in order to save website space, much like the ads on Ehow. The problem is that they don't always give the most targeted ads, like Adsense does.
  3. Step3
    *Bidvertiser*

    I have personally tinkered with Bidvertiser ads. These ads are not to be used in conjunction with Adsense, but as an alternative. These ads tend to make more money for you if your site is money oriented. If the topic of your website isn't money related then you will probably have better luck with Adsense.
  4. Step4
    *Chikita*

    This is a great program if you have a website dedicated to specific products. Chikita offers banner ads with visuals of the product that will increase your visitors click-throughs. It can be used in conjunction with Adsense and the ads are targeted.
  5. Step5
    *Adtoll*

    Adtoll is a relatively new site with a very quick sign up process. They pay out 75%, which is more than most advertising sites. This is probably due to the young age of the site. Once they get more customers then they may lower your commissions. It is worth a try.
  6. Step6
    *Yahoo Publisher Network*

    This is just Yahoo's answer to Adsense. If you weren't accepted to Adsense then try Yahoo Publisher Network.
  7. Step7
    *FastClick*

    I have read a lot of good reviews for this service. They offer 65% revenue sharing, which is standard. With fastclick the average webmaster will make between $2.00 and $5.00 CPM (every 1000 page views). Therefore if you get 40,000 views per month, then you can make $200/mo.
  8. Step8
    *CasaleMedia*

    They offer a 70% revenue sharing program. They pay per view, not per click, if you are looking for this kind of program. It is a good service for websites with a lot of visitors because of the CPM feature.
  9. Step9
    *ShoppingAds*

    They used to be called AutionAds which offered the viewer a quick look at certain products on Ebay. Now that it has changed to ShoppingAds, they show ads for stores that may not offer low prices like Ebay would. This hurts the amount of clicks that you will receive. This is much like Chikita, but I prefer Chikita.
  10. Step10
    *WidgetBucks*

    Last and least, Widgetbucks is a newer service that provides you with tacky, unrelated ads. It is a newer service with lower quality ads. You can pass on this one.
