3. Bidvertiser
Bidvertiser is
a pay per click advertising site that could be a great AdSense
alternative if you didn’t get Adsense approval or got banned. The way it
works is a little bit different from Adsense. While Adsense shows ads
based on context or visitor’s interest, it creates a bidding system that
allows the highest bidder to advertise on your blog. Initially, you
won’t be able to earn much revenue as it takes some time to get your
site found by Highest bidders. So stay longer.
Bidvertiser offers Text
ads, Banner ads, Mobile Ads, Slider ads etc. You can also make money by
promoting your customized toolbar. Minimum payment amount is $10 for PayPal/Payza and $50 for check.
4. Infolinks
Infolinks
is a bit different from other advertising networks. Mainly because it
shows ads differently. It doesn’t take too many spaces of your site to
show ads. It shows in text ads or pop-up ads. You can use it with
AdSense safely.
Infolinks offer 4 types of ads – InFold, InText, InTag, and InFrame. All of them are designed to overcome banner blindness. Minimum payment threshold of $50 for Paypal or $100 for Bank wire.
5. Adversal
Adversal
is the best Adsense alternative in terms of serving ads. It has a great
CTR and works with several languages. You need to have monthly page
views of 50,000 to apply this network. Minimum payout is $20 and payment
modes are PayPal, ACH, Check, or Wire. It has an affiliate program too.
6. VigLink
VigLink
is totally different from other Ad networks. It converts normal links
into affiliate links. If someone makes a purchase by using your link,
you’ll earn commission out of it. For example, if you have a post about
iPhone or you mentioned iPhone on a post, VigLink will automatically add
new affiliate links or convert existing links to affiliate links.
7. Chitika
Next Google AdSense alternative is Chitika.
If you are tired of not getting AdSense approval, then sign up for
Chitika. You need not get approval for using Chitika ads on your site.
That means you can monetize your low traffic site with Chitika. Just
create an account and put ads on your site.
It offers 3 types of ads – Search Targeted Ads, Local Ads, and Mobile Ads. It’s PPC rates aren’t as good as AdSense.

9. Qadabra
Qadabra
is a self-serve ad platform that offers performance-based advertising.
It was formerly known as AdsGadget. It requires only 15 seconds to start
showing ads on your site with Qadabra.
It offers banner ads including slider ads. You need not have much content to get approved by Qadabra.
10. Kontera
Kontera
is similar to Infolinks. Kontera Ads appear on hyperlinked text when
you hover the mouse on the linked text. It also offers image and video
ads. All ads are based on pay per click payment.
Whenever you add in text ads on your site, make sure that you are not annoying your readers with too many ads.
My
advice is not to try the networks at a time. You can do A/B testing to
check which one works better for you. However, you can use 2-3 networks
at a time.
