10 best Google Adsense Alternatives
Here are some of the best Google Adsense Alternatives you can try to
monetize your website without using Google Adsense, and I’ll tell you
how they work and why you should consider them, so let’s start:
Infolinks is a Pay per click advertisement network that allows you to
make money through your blog based on specific keywords. Infolinks
indexes your pages and automatically add some hiperlinks in your text.
Of course, since this isn’t a CPM program, it might take you a while to
start earning a regular passive income through it, but it’s still an
alternative to Adsense. They can pay you via Paypal, Wire Transfer,
Check Western Union, ACH and Payoneer and there’s an initial limit of
$50. Infolinks is great for big websites and it works in English,
Spanish, French and German websites.

Kontera is a known network very similar to Infolinks. It’s also a
text based network that adds links to your content based on specific
keywords showing a doubled-underlined text and pop-up ads. This is also a
pay-per-click program, so it depends on your CTR percentage to earn
money. However, Kontera is definitely a better option if you have a
small blog or you’re just starting your website, because it allows small
sites to be added to your network. they can pay you via check
or Paypal with the same $50 initial limit, and you can use it with
Adsense at the same time.
You can make a good amount of money from Amazon, especially in Christmas and other holidays
Amazon is the biggest online store in the world, so they must be
doing something good. Well, if you have a website that talks about any
product that can be found on Amazon, then Amazon associates could work
for you. Amazon allows you to put dynamic image ads to your blog, so
that you can promote them and while this isn’t a Pay-per-click or CPM
program, it will pay you a small commission for everything they sell
from your links. So let’s say you have a blog about Apple products and
you put an ad driving them to buy an iPod or just a cable. If they buy
it, an small commission will be for you. So if you sell a $10 cable you
might receive a few cents, but sell a $1500 Laptop and you might receive
$100. The good thing is that everything they buy through your link
(even if it isn’t the product you recommended at first) will generate a
commission for your. the only con I find with Amazon, is that they need
to send you a check that could take weeks to arrive to your home, unless
you live in the United Stated of America where you can provide your
Bank account. You can use this with Adsense at the same time.
If you’re thinking on selling ad spaces from your website but you
have no clients to land on BuySellAds might be the right network for
you. buySellAds allows you to sell a space unit to many customers
depending on the kind of traffic they want. so, if your blog has space
for 4 ads, you can publish them here and wait until someone wants to buy
your ad. While this can lead to a good income, this also means you need
a good quantity of visitors and page views if you want to be appealing
on BSA. BSA pays 75% of the revenue generated and you can get your
payment via paypal twice a month, without any starting limit.
Text Link Ads allow you to sell text ads from your sites. The price
of your ads varies between your Page Rank, Alexa Rank, traffic, Social
media and everything. So, the higher PR you have, the more expensive
links you can sell. TLA pays you via check, Paypal or TLA voucher and
they offer 50/50 revenue with a minimum limit of $25. You can sell up to
10 contextual advertisements from your site on TLA.
Clicksor is ad advertising network that allows you to serve text,
contextual and popup ads. With more than 150,000 pages working on
Clicksor, it’s became quite a good alternative to Google Adsense. They
share up to 60% of the revenue depending on the ad (popup ads usually
generate more) and they can pay you via check or Paypal with a minimum
of $50.

Qadabra is a performance based advertisement network created for
publishers to monetize their websites and traffic. I recently discovered
Qadabra and their platform is simple and easy to use. Qadabra provides
different ad sizes and they have a pop up option. They support
international traffic with great fill rates and they pay via: paypal ($1
minimum payout), payoneer prepaid card ($20 minimum) and wire transfer
($500 minimum). So it’s a great option for starters if you’re using
paypal.
I got approved for Qadabra in less than 2 minutes. Register here.
Adversal is a great alternative of Adsense and works as great as
Chitika. They have good banners and the CTR and revenue adapts to get
the best results for your website. I’ve seen the Ads on Adversal have a
good CTR and they have good image ads too. This is probably the Ad
network which seems to work better for those looking for a replacement
of Google Adsense. It works decently with other languages too (Chitika
doesn’t). You account gets approved really fast and they also have Pop
under /CPM ads as an option.
Note: Adversal requires a
website with a minimum of 50,000 page views per month, but they have
proven to work really well. They also pay via paypal.

Chitika is the most similar ads network to Google Adsense
The reason I put Chitika on the number 3 of this list, is because
Chitika is very similar to Adsense. they allow you to customize your
ads, and it only serves contextual ads. One good thing is that you can
use it along with Adsense and there are no problems at all. Chitika pays
via Paypal ($10 USD minimum, which is good for starters) or via check
($50 minimum). If I were to recommend an ads service as an alternative
to Adsense,
Chitika would be my first choice, hands down. Chitika can pay you via paypal if you need.

1. Affiliate Marketing
I’m leaving affiliate Marketing in the number 1 spot for many
reasons. Affiliate Marketing means you’re selling a product or a service
from another enterprise (which means you don’t have to develop it) and
you earn a commission for that. You can find a lot of Affiliate
Marketing programs on the net, and they can vary from selling a $10
small product up to selling a $300 software. The beauty of affiliate
marketing is that the more you know and test a product or service, the
more you can sell it.
Some affiliate programs can earn you more than $50 for each sale
depending on the product and I truly recommend you test and backup your
sales by using the product yourself (even though it’s not 100%
necessary). If you are an authority in a niche, you can use it to boost
your sales and grow even more. You can set affiliate links in banners,
text, images and basically everywhere, and it can grow into a big
passive income earner if done well. Some examples of people that have
become very successful with affiliate Marketing are:
- Pat Flynn from the Smart Passive Income blog
- Michael Dunlop from the Income Diary
- Darren Rowse from the Problogger Network
- And more people that earn 6 figure incomes per month, mostly via passive income.
Some great Affiliate Marketing Networks are a great way to start your
online journey, because you can look for products and advertise them on
your website without having them, as long as they’re related to your
niche. The best Affiliate Networks I know until now are:
- Yesadvertising -> I’ve done good money promoting YesAdvertising campaigns
- ClickBank -> Learn which products you should promote and make more money with CBEngine
- Peerfly -> My favorite along with Yesadvertising. Their offers are top notch!
You just need to look out for the products or services related to
your niche and find something to promote. Many affiliate Marketeers are
earning tons of dollars from those affiliate networks only.
What can I learn from this?
Life can be rude sometimes. You Google Adsense account could have
been banned because you didn’t catch a rule from the TOS, or maybe it
was a mistake, however, you can’t always rely only on 1 solution. The
secret word here is to “diversify”. Try to have as many income streams
as you can by adding and testing different ad services, and you’ll find
your way to the top. Those Google Adsense alternatives will help you
develop as an Internet Marketeer even more.
Even if your Google Adsense account was banned, this is not the end of the world. In fact, it’s only the beginning
