10 Best Ad sense Alternatives for Monetizing Your Blog
Why would you look for best ad sense alternatives? There are many reasons why people search for best ad sense alternatives. Your blog didn’t get approved for using adsense to display ad on it, you got banned for breaking ad sense’s rules and etc.
Although Google ad sense is the biggest and best well-known contextual advertising network, and there are thousands of bloggers who make money with ad sense, the sad truth is that so many bloggers aren’t able to use ad sense. If you are one of those bloggers, here are 10 of the best ad sense alternatives you can use to make money displaying ads on your blog:
Yahoo publisher Network
Yahoo publisher is really the closes you can get to Google ad sense. But, one of the things that makes YPN not very appealing to a lot of people, is the fact that they rarely accept new publishers, or if they do, it takes a long time. Just like ad sense, with yahoo publisher, you have to reach $100 before you can request a payment.
Clicksor
Clicksor is one of the most trusted Google ad sense alternatives out there. You can choose from many different types of advertisement that fit the style and layout of your blog. They have a very speedy payment process. You can get paid either by check or instantly in pay pal with a minimum of $20.
AdBrite
AdBrite without a doubt is one fo the best alternative to ad sense. They offer ads in different forms such as text ads, banner ads, inline ads and in video ads. The good thing about AdBrite is that you can run it with ad sense as long as it looks different than ad sense. The minim required to request a payment is only $20, which is great compere to ad sense’s $100 minimum requirement.
Chitika
Chitkita is another great ad sense alternative which many bloggers use these days to monetize their blog. Again, you can run it with ad sense and the minimum payment is only $10.
Bidvertiser
Bidvertiser is by far the most similar ad network to ad sense. It offers contextual ads. You can also make money with their feed ads. Bidvertiser is specially good for blogs related to online money making. You can use it along side ad sense as long as it looks different. The minimum for payout is also $10.
WidgetBucks
Widget Bucks is famous for its high payout. A lot of opportunities to make money. You can use it along ad sense. It has many different styles of ads. It specifically is good to use on sites with products and services as their topic, with a minimum payout of $50.
Text-Link-Ads
TLA is a little different than normal contextual advertising sites. You can earn money by allowing them to place inline text advertisements on your blog. You can set your own price, which you want to charge for placing inline text advertisement in between your content. They offer very fast payments. Payments are sent via check with a minimum of $25. But, if you want to get paid by paypal, there is no minimum.
InfoLinks
Infolink is another great ad sense alternative specializing in In-Text Advertising. It basically turns the main keywords of your page, which aren’t linked to an advertising link. You can use infolink ads combine with any other kinds of ads. I think Infolink is growing fast and very soon it will be one of the In-Text Advertising. leaders. They pay via check or pay pal.
Kontera
Kontera definitely is one of the best ad sense alternatives. It serves highly relevant In Text ads using its patented semantic engine that helps to truly understand the content of a page. Publishers are paid once a month (first week of the month) when they have reached the minimum required which is $50. You can get paid via by Check, PayPal, Wire transfers or ACH.
TNX
The cool thing about it is that the price of each link placed on your page is calculated automatically. Few things factor in how the price is set. Things like category, PageRank of each page, link popularity, and how many outbound links your page has. Earnings are paid by PayPal, Webmoney, Check and Wire.
Although many of these advertising companies allow you to serve their ads with other companies ads, don’t stuff your pages with too many ads. It is a turn off for many visitors. You might think you will be able to make more money with more ads on your pages, but in most cases, a well placed ad can make you more money than 10 non relevant and out of place ads. And these 10 best ad sense alternatives are perfect for serving highly targeted and relevant ads that can help you earn more money with ads .

I had no idea there were so many alternatives to AdSense. Thanks for listing these. I have signed up with Bidvertisor, but about half the time, their ad doesn’t load on my blog. Have you ever had any trouble with this?

Hi Deborah,
Thanks for the visit. No I had never encountered such a problem with Bidvertisor. I used it here in the beginner and I use on my other site, but never had that problem. Are you sure you installed the code correctly? …
If the problem continues, I would suggest contacting them, they may be bale to help. Good luck.

I have AdSense installed on my blog and I recently added Infolinks as well. Many bloggers are saying that this is a good combination. Will see how things will go. AdBrite on the other hand seems like a good AdSense alternative and I might even try it out in the near future. Thanks for sharing! Will check out the rest of the offers.

Hi Satrap,
This is Jonathan from Kontera. Thanks for including our In-Text network as one of the best Adsense alternatives. Kontera works extremely effectively with Adsense, or apart from it.
One of the things that makes Kontera so effective is our Contextual Technology, an algorithm that rather than just scanning for keywords like other network, can actually read your webpages for content. This added level of targeting is how we can provide you with the most relevant results, which lead to higher CTR and better CPC ads.
Another advantage of Kontera is our exclusive ad inventory from such brand names as National Geographic, AT&T, Blackberry, Microsoft, L’Oreal, Kmart, and Domino’s Pizza. These premium, often Rich-Media ads are the most eye catching to readers, offer the best possible CPC, and are only available through Kontera’s network.
If you’d like to become a part of the Kontera network, we’re currently offering new publishers a 70% revenue share, which is the best rate in the business. We’re also offering up for new publishers a $50 bonus if they reach at least 25,000 U.S. page views during their first 30 days on the network. Additionally, we recently lowered our minimum payout threshold from $100 to $50 across all payment methods, so now the revenue is reaching you faster than ever.
To learn even more about the Kontera network, please visit our publisher page: http://www.kontera.com/publishers
Thanks,
