Adsense Alternative
Google Adsense is a very profitable program but there are times when its worthwhile to explore an Adsense Alternative or two.
Having seen a number of posts in forums about Adsense alternatives, I decided build a list of programs to evaluate.
All following is a list of programs which can be used in place of AdSense. Some are pay per click, some pay per action, some pay per impression (CPM) and still others are pay per lead. I’ve included a snippet from each site to provide some background to their offering.
If you’d like to suggest a program which is not included here, just leave a note in our comments section.

Great resource as i`m searching for alternative for googel adsense… thanks
Wow thats alot of alternatives?
Which one is everyone preferring over another? I havent been banned by google adsense yet but always want to know other options?
I am using PeakClick. Want some reasons to join, here are just a few: Sign up is free, Extremely easy to set up and implement, Real time statistics, One of the highest pay out rates in the industry (70%), One of the top affiliate programs (earn commissions on 3 separate sales levels), Get paid every 15 days, High quality customer service and technical support.
I got codes from Adbrite. But dont know how it works. In six months my earning is 0.00 dollars.
I´m also looking for different alternatives, I´m surprised that there are so many.I´m quite pleased with adsense still.
Good list. But.
(1) First one in list doesnot work
(2) Only YPN can match Adsense, outside US the best is Adbrite.
(3) Bidvertizer has bad reviews
(4) If you get huge traffic, switch to affiliate like ebay or Amazon. You will get 10X revenue.
Hope that helps.
I tried Adbrite and i think that it is not worth the time spent.
I have yet to see another program that produces the same revenue that Adsense does. I have tried all the other contextual programs and I can say that they all produced only a fraction of what I got with Adsense.
