When it comes to Google AdSense alternatives you have many choices to choose from. There is no reason to only use AdSense on your website and in some cases other forms of advertising may actually yield higher returns. Of course, always test to find out the best monetization choices.
All of the Google AdSense alternatives listed below CAN be used in conjunction with AdSense.
**Top Choice** 1. Chitika - Chitika offers what they call eMiniMalls. You choose what keywords you want your ad optimized for so you can choose products that are not necessarily talked about on your site but you feel your readers would be interested in. I have found that Chitika works best on sites about products like electronics or clothing.
I have one site where Chitika pays around $.35 per click while AdSense pays about $.05 a click. Open a Chitika account now.
#2. Auction Ads – Auction Ads let you display live eBay auctions on your website. When someone clicks your ad and goes to eBay and wins an auction you get 50% – 75% commission in eBay revenue. If that person is not a current member of eBay and they sign up then you also get a commission of $25 – $35.
What I like best about Auction Ads is that it is almost impossible to find something that is not listed for sale on eBay and therefore it is a great way to monetize even the most obscure content. Open a Auction Ads account now.
#3. Kontera – Kontera offers in-text advertising and is fine to run alongside AdSense. Kontera reads through the text on your site and then places links on keywords that it finds. I am running it on this site so you can see an example of it within the text here.
My results with Kontera have been hit or miss but it does supply some extra income so you might as well test it out and see what results you can get from it.
#4. CPA Offers – Cost Per Action refers to ads that require the person to do something like enter an email, fill out a form, download a program, etc. There are hundreds, if not thousands, out CPA companies out there. My personal favorite is AzoogleAds because it’s simplicity and tracking options.
#5. Affiliate Products – The only reason I put affiliate products after CPA offers is because with affiliate products the person actually has to buy something. The payouts may be bigger for affiliate products but conversions are much lower. There are a ton of affiliate programs out there but my two favorites are Commission Junction and Clickbank.
#6. Free IQ – FreeIQ is a new service that has a wealth of videos and audio files that people can freely browse. How do you make money? When you sign up as an affiliate your can refer people to the site and if they buy something you get a commission. It is basically YouTube…with an affiliate program. It is a truly revolutionary site.
There you have it. The 6 best Google AdSense alternatives, each of which can be run alongside Google AdSense Ads.
