7 Google Adsense Alternatives for Online Advertising

How to monetize a blog

One of the best options for displaying ads and monetize your blog or website is having a Google AdSense account.

However, many people may find getting an account can be difficult. Accounts are also subject to being revoked if the rules are not properly followed.

Getting rejected or having your account revoked is a setback, but not the end of the world. Many other advertising networks are available when AdSense is not an option, but an online advertising solution is needed.

One thing to keep in mind is that no alternative advertising network will ever come close to the earnings that are seen with AdSense. Bloggers and website owners need to realize that just having something that can be used to earn an income is better than nothing at all.

There are many AdSense alternatives you can consider if you are banned or have not been able to get approved for an account. However, payment options and a variety of other requirements will need to be considered.

RevenueHits

This is one of the better Google AdSense alternatives that is available for a blogger or website owner as it is performance based. You need to keep ads running for consecutive days to see good results.

You have a choice to display sliders, buttons, banner ads, and more. Once you generate a minimum of $20 in revenue, a payment can be requested. Payments can be sent via PayPal or Payoneer.

Bidvertiser

This is a great AdSense alternative for Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. However, the ads that are displayed on a blog or website work differently than AdSense. Bidvertiser uses a bidding system to display ads.

Your site needs to be found by the highest bidders before you will see any earnings. You can use text ads, slider ads, mobile ads, banner ads, and more. Payments are sent via PayPal ($10 minimum) or by check ($50 minimum).

Adversal

This is one of the best AdSense alternatives for displaying ads to visitors. The Click-through rate (CTR) is really good and there are a variety of languages available. One downside is that you need to have at least 50,000 page views to even think about applying for an account.

There is a $20 minimum payout that is sent via PayPal, check, a wire transfer, or Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. Users also have the option to use their affiliate program.

Media.net

This is one of the best alternatives to AdSense for bloggers and website owners. Users can choose ad units that are customized to match the look of their website or blog. Mobile ads are also available.

Infolinks

This ads network is somewhat different than other AdSense alternatives as ads are displayed to users in a unique way.

There are four types of ads that include InFrame, InTag, InFold, and InText. These ads will help to overcome users who are blind to typical banner ads.

There is a $50 minimum payment for users with a PayPal account or a $100 minimum for bank transfers.

A $1 minimum payment is needed for PayPal, $20 for Payoneer, and $500 to use wire transfer.

Conclusion

The most important thing to realize about using any AdSense alternative advertising networks is that you will typically not have a lot of earnings if your site has low traffic volume.

Make sure to research any alternative to AdSense carefully to avoid having low earnings or no earnings at all.

This includes Affiliate Marketing and / or CPA marketing where you can define your own ad types of styles for your website.
