Google AdSense, the advertising program based on ads appropriate to the content of the website its placed on, is the leader in the online advertising field. It has given a lot of website and blog owners an opportunity to monetize the content on their sites. There are many reason why you may want to consider a few alternatives, primarily, being banned from placing AdSense. This could be because website owners may not be following or may be violating its terms. Also many new website and especially blogs find it difficult to get initial approval from Google AdSense to start placing ads on their web pages. So let's look at the alternatives available to you if you face problems with Google AdSense or if you might just prefer going with someone else.
Clicksor: Clicksor is one of the more popular advertisement provider networks and provides a good option to Google AdSense. They have a base of 900 m per month advertisement impressions and they have over a hundred thousand websites on which they publish these ads. A big plus with Clicksor is that they have the technology to not only show ads on the basis of the keywords provided, but also according to the content of your site, thus increasing the chances of visitors clicking on these ads. They also have an over 80% sharing of revenue.
Adbrite: If you're looking for a good alternative to Google AdSense, then Adbrite is it! While their range of ads provided is limited to the more common kinds, a good plus is the in links ads which result in a great amount of clicks. They also provide interstitial ads of full page that appear before your page opens. Their terms and conditions are not as strict as Google AdSense and they welcome smaller bloggers as well.
Bidvertiser: Bidvertiser has contextual advertisements as well advertisements on feeds. There is a great similarity to Google AdSense. To generate income from this program, a lot of traffic has to be there on your website or blog. The minimum payout threshold is US $10 and payments are made via checks and PayPal.
Infolinks: Infolinks is the new kid on the block in the business of online ad publishing. Infolinks specializes into links. Your website is scanned; indexed and hyper links are created over key words and key phrases. Whenever a visitor moves his cursor or mouse over the link, it will open up a box showing an ad related to that particular word. Infolinks can be concurrently used along with other publishers in that you can have published by AdSense and have links published by Infolinks, thereby improving your chances of an enhanced income.
Yahoo! Publisher Network: Yahoo has woken up now to the potential of the web ad publishing business and is now in the process of launching its own service called Yahoo! Publisher Network. You can expect it to be almost a replica of Google AdSense and we feel that even the terms of service should be similar.
