Adsense Alternatives
Many people have
started using Google's AdSense program, but there are some who find it a
bit too uncertain or simply not suiting their own requirements from an
ad program.
But thankfully for such people, there are many alternatives to
AdSense which attempt to alleviate some of its shortcomings. Here is a
list of the most noteworthy ones from the lot with a description
concerning each one.
AllFeeds
AllFeeds
has a great pool of online advertisers to choose from. It also features
many display formats that you can choose from. These include banners,
buttons, XML feeds, DHTML pop-ups and so on. It also features real time
reporting of your ad status. The site will mail a check every month,
provided that you earn more then $25.00, while rolling over earnings for
the next month if you don't. Another interesting thing about AllFeeds
is that it integrates with Google AdSense, maximizing your earnings with
AdSense.
MarketBanker
MarketBanker
allows you the unique possiblity to set the pricing for your site. It
also allows you to allow or reject any link that appears on your site
(although AdSense itself does a very good job of this as well, with URL
filters) There's also a statistics section which will allow you to see
how well your site is doing. The ads are small just like AdSense's and
they're just as easy to set up. Also, registration for MarketBanker is
free.
BidClix
BidClix
is different because it has advertisers compete for clicks on your
site, which in turn is meant to generate the highest possible profits
for your page. It also has a very large pool of advertisers which ensure
there are plenty of people to choose your site. However, it does
require more polish on site contents then AdSense. As most sites, real
time statistics are available and its very easy to get started with this
service, but it's also very flexible.
Chitika
RealContext uses Artificial intelligence to retrieve the most relevant
ads for your page. And there's an extra feature which makes RealContext
unique as well. Keywords are selected based upon which previous
selections payed off and which didn't. That means there's a constant
feedback process that ensures you gain better revenue from your ads. It
also supports blocking certain adds and child-safe filtering and many
more options.
AdHearus
AdHearus is a very feature-packed contextual ad provider. As with
AdSense, advertisements are targeted but it doesn't stop here at all.
The ads are very flexible, you can select from text-ads, banners,
rectangles, pop-ups, pop-unders or skyscrapers. You can also display
your own ads, through rotation, both on your site and on other affiliate
sites, which makes AdHearus a hybrid with conventional advertising
technologies. There's a very comprehensive on-line real time reporting
feature and, as usual with such services, starting out is free and it's a
breeze.
AffiliateSensor
AffiliateSensor has highly customizable ad blocks, which you can make
for yourself with an easy to use on-line interface. You also get
realtime reporting with clicks-by-domain, page and refferer. There's
integration with Google AdSense as well, through the
google_alternate_ad_url so AffiliateSensor can be used as a substitute
for Google PSA's (Public Service Ads).
Kanoodle Bright Ads
Kanoodle's offering allows publishers to get ads related to topics or
segments, and not the traditional keyword oriented ads. The site also
groups publisher sites with advertisers by hand to ensure high-revenue
generating ads. And speaking of revenue, the amount of money you receive
is a clear 50% share of the amount of money Kanoodle recieves for an
advertiser.
TargetPoint
TargetPoint is oriented more towards content publishers. It offers
full control over the look the ads, statistics over your site's overall
performance and better revenue. It's free to register and you earn a
guaranteed 60% of the total revenue. You can get payed with Paypal of
Bank checks and (most times) wire transfers as well.
Clicksor
Clicksor will earn you as much as 60% from the amount of money your
website produces. What you get is about the same as AdSense, there are
targeted text ads, you can view the revenues from your website in real
time. You can receive money via PayPal or through a check every two
weeks, provided that you have earned more then $50. If you haven't made
that much, your earning roll over to the next period |
