Adsense Alternatives General Information
Everyone knows that Adsense is the largest contextual ad supplier on the web by a great margin. While Google Adsense is a great way to monetize your site, it is not the only way. There are a good number of Adsense alternatives that when used on the right website have the potential to make as much and more than Adsense. This website is dedicated to providing you with the information you will need when deciding which pay-per-click or cpa affiliate program to go with.
Adbrite is similar to Adsense in that it only requires a snippet of html code to get started. However they have a lot more options for publishers who want to fine tune their campaigns. You can set a minimum for the ads to display and have an alternative ad in case the minimum is not met, you can also approve or reject advertiser's offers. It does fall short in that it takes a while for your campaign to get moving and you might not see any profits at all until a week or two after if you have a smaller site. They do however accept most publishers that have a legitimate website that has actual content, and they also are more relaxed with smaller sites and
blogs from networks such as wordpress and blogger/blogspot. Unlike Google they split the revenue at a generous 75%/25% which makes them a very good company to partner with.
If your website has content that your visitors really want access to,
Adscend Media is the way to go. When users come to your website you can require them to do a survey to get access to the site, part of the site, or even part of a page. The amount of flexibility that
cpa companies give their publishers is unmatched. While programming experience with PHP and MySQL is helpful to take full advantage of their options it is not necessary. Adscend Media also allows bloggers to make use of their tools, they accept almost any site so long as it is legal. On average a site monetized with cpa can make $.75-$2.00 per survey completion which usually comes out to around $.1 per click, but because these clicks are incentivized (which Adsense and ppc programs do not allow) you end up getting more clicks and it ends up being much much more profitable. Most of the time cpa is around 2-3x more profitable. They offer
paypal, direct deposit, and check as methods to withdraw. While they do require tax information they do not require phone verification. The best thing about Adscend is that it can be used alongside any other advertising company allowing you to double optimize websites.
If you own a website that gets a very large amount of visitors in a very narrow niche cj.com might be your site. Companies partner with them in order to make money off of survey completion or purchases. They are one of the largest and most proffesional affiliate marketing websites on the web. CJ is the best for websites dealing with hosting, jewelry, and domain registrations. CJ is used by many top marketers and brings a large turn out at Affiliate Summit.
Everyone uses Amazon, well at least I do, so why not capitalize off of me? Amazon offers its affiliates a very good program with lots of fine tuning help and the ability to earn up to 15% of what your visitors buy on their site. This is a must use for anyone that owns a tech blog or a website that deals with higher end products.
Leadbolt is a sort of hybird cpc/cpa site. It pays it users for cpa completions and offers a wide variety of ad formats from content unlockers to banner slots. It is also one of the few advertising websites that allows you to advertise on
porn websites. When used as a content blocker leadbolt is one of the most profittable options out there, and when it comes to porn it is one of the only options. Leadbolt also offers a variety of graphs that can help publishers tweak their campaigns to their liking.

YPN is a great alternative to Adsense, however it is hard to get in if you do not live in the United States. Even if you do live in the US it is still not a sure thing. Assuming you are able to get accepted

paypal in increments of 10$ (or Check 50$). It offers conversion bonuses to members who have a high click to lead ratio which leads to a dramatic increase in monthly profits. It also gives publishers the ability to make a
custom toolbar they can profit off of.
