In my opinion Google AdSense is by far the best PPC programme allowing webmasters to earn money by showing adverts on their blog – it pays high, the ads look good and they are relevant.

However, they can be strict (with good reason) and some sites will not be accepted. So, I have compiled a comprehensive list of five alternatives to Google AdSense.

AdSense Alternatives

1. AdBrite- Probably the most popular alternative to AdSense is AdBrite. AdBrite ads look quite attractive and in most cases pay relatively well, but not as high as AdSense. Their system works a bit different as it also allows advertisings to directly publish adverts on certain sites.
2. Bidvertiser – Another very popular alternative to AdSense, Bidvertiser does not pay as well as AdBrite, but does allow publishers to also show eBay ads which could be appealing on certain types of websites. However, for advertisers click fraud is seen as a problem with Bidvertiser.
3. Yahoo Publisher Network – Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN), pays very well (even similar rates to AdSense), the adverts are very relevant and look good. However, the only flaw with YPN is that it is notoriously hard to get accepted into, even more so than AdSense.
4. AdToll – AdToll is quite a popular network, but it does not work the same way than the other advertising networks listed here. It works more in the way of advertisers buying their own banner ads on individual publishers sites – this results in good sites selling many ads but small sites may find it hard to sell advertising.
5. Chitika – Chitika is a relatively small network, but is growing quickly in size. The adverts look good, it pays well and it is definitely a good time to try jumping on the Chitika bandwagon.

As you can see, not being from AdSense is not the end of the world and all the advertising networks on this list are definitely worth a look.

The main four advertising types;

CPC: Click based advertising like google adsense (main purpose) where you will get paid per click on ads on your site.

CPM: Paid per thousand views such as adsdaq where you are paid a certain amount per thousands ad views.

Private Advertising: involves selling ad space on your site directly. I find this method very effective as if you sell ad space you will have guaranteed revenue.

Affiliate: The highest potential advertising form, where in you ‘plug’ a site/product and with each sale you get a certain percentage commission, example company –click bank

Adsense is a widely used ad program that is very easy to manage (doesnt really require managment once setup) and is a good place to start in making revenue from your site. Earnings from adsense vary but it also gives you large potential.

With adsense, basically;
