Infolinks - Adsesne Alternatives

Infolinks ad network currently serves targeted ads on over 125,000 websites. They work best on sites that contain large amounts text-based content.

Infolinks indexes your pages to determine the best ads to display. Several types of ads are available to publishers for use on their sites.

The main ad type Infolinks provides is their in-text ad links. Selected words on your page are selected and either double underlined or dotted underlined. When a visitor scrolls over one of the words, a pops up containing an ad relevant to the word appears.

These ads can appear a little spammy and get a little annoying when you accidentally move your cursor over a link. They do allow you to limit the number on a page, though.

They also have an ad block called related tags. These are very similar in look to AdSense horizontal link blocks.

A tag cloud ad block is available for your use if you feel it would be suitable for your site’s layout.

Infolinks has a search widget that sits at the bottom of the screen and when a visitor moves their cursor over its bar, it slides up to display its contents.

Infolinks will not approve a site if they feel it is thin on content.

Adversal - Adsense alternatives

Adversal is an excellent alternative to AdSense if your site gets over 50,000 page views per month. They have fast approvals but make sure your site meets their requirements before you apply to be a publisher.

They offer various banner sizes and types to publishers. Pop-unders and ministitial type ads are also available for publisher use.

Currently, their minimum payout is $20. A PayPal option is available.

Adversal is also one of the few ad networks that have an affiliate program.

Please be aware that Adversal will reject any site that does not receive at least 50,000 page views per month.

Adsense Alternatives - Chitika

Chitika is an online advertising network with over 350,000 publishers. They serve over four billion targeted ads per month. Chitika has several top-tier advertising partners like Yahoo!, SuperMedia and HomeAdvisor.

Since the Chitika ads are search targeted, they work best with websites that get most of their traffic from search engines. Visitors that arrive at your site by other channels are displayed generic ads loosely based on your site’s title and keywords. If the majority of your traffic is from links or type-ins you may want to look at other AdSense alternatives.

They do allow you to use alternative ads that you can display to your non-organic visitors to better make use of your site’s ad space.

Publisher payments are available by PayPal starting with a $10 minimum.

Chitika is one of the few ad networks that has an affiliate program. This could bring in an additional income for you.

Adsense Alternatives - AdBuff

Adbuff is the ultimate AdSense Alternative ad network due to their ability to outperform AdSense for many publishers. Because Adbuff is a Real Time Bidding (RTB) platform, AdSense is competing directly with other advertisers to monetize your site through Adbuff. As a result publishers earn some of the highest page RPMs available in the industry. Their ads are also fully compliant to run along-side AdSense, so you can even double your page RPM by running AdSense and Adbuff together.

Adbuff is an AdSense Alternative ad network that has strict approval guidelines for publishers and advertisers. They are currently accepting publishers who have English sites with a majority of the traffic coming from USA, Canada, Australia and the UK. Publisher sites require at least 2,000 unique visitors per day. Approval times can take between 5 – 7 days and every approved site will receive a $25 welcome bonus for signing up.

For premium publishers who are looking for the best AdSense Alternative ad network, Adbuff is the first ad network you should look at.

Alternative Ad Networks - 1. Media.Net

Media.Net gives you exclusive access to the Yahoo! Bing Network. They are one of the world’s largest contextual ad networks and boast many top publishers like Forbes, ELLE, Reuters, and Good Housekeeping.

Media.Net offers publishers several ad styles. Do note however that they only allow one of each ad type to appear on a page.

The main ad style available is the content ad. These are contextual ad blocks that are available in different sizes to suit your needs.

The next ad type available is the search targeting ad. These appear the same way as contextual ads but are only displayed to search engine traffic.

Media.Net also provides web bar and mobile ads to its publishers.

I feel that this is the closest AdSense alternative currently available. But, be aware that they are known for suspending accounts and not stating the reason. So, if you use them, read all the rules and be careful to follow them.

Possible roadblock: Media.Net needs to approve each site you want to place ads on. And they’re a little strict on what sites they approve.
