    • Rahul Arora

        • Rahul Arora

          Ya, sure.

  2. EArningFair.com

    I already use lots of revenue sharing site but i think Google Adsense best for blogger/publisher because google share highest revenue in the world.
    if you use their service like google webmaster tools, adsense, sitemap, google buzz or other then your site day by day get traffic from google search engine.
    SO………………..
    Start to earn revenue from Google.com

  3. Make Money At Home

    Clicksor is an option that many marketers favor right now due to their very generous payout rate of 85%, at least last time we checked.

    • Rahul Arora

      Good to know from you about Clicksor. Will try it. Maybe we’ll have a review of it soon. Thanks.

    thx 4 ur info

  5. anuj@SEOTIPS

    it is a good list for adsence alternative.
    i used adhitz,smowtion, adbrite , clcicksor, but no one pay like adsence.
    adsence is the best.
    if you do not get adsence account only then then use other website, otherwise do not waste your traffic and valuable click

  6. sudha

    Chitika is the best AdSense alternative and it can also be used along with AdSense ads. BuySellAds isn’t really an alternative to AdSense, it’s a banner advertising network.

  7. Rahul Arora

    @anuj(SEOTIPS)
    Yeah! AdSense is the biggest PPC based Advertising network and it pays higher than any other PPC/CPC program.
    Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts.

  8. Rahul Arora

    @sudha
    I haven’t tried Chitika yet, but now as you told that it is working best for you, I will try it soon.
    Absolutely, BuySellAds is not an alternative to AdSense, as it is not a PPC/CPC based program.
    Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

  9. Zain

    I was looking for such type of list and found this one the best. I’m still confused to choose between chitika and adbrite.
    Rahul, can you help me in choosing the better one among these two?

    • Rahul Arora

      Hi Zain!
      AdBrite is the top alternative for AdSense as it also provides media-rich ads with different dimensions, but it has a very low CPC rate.
      Chitika has a better CPC than AdBrite but it doesn’t provide media-rich ads like image or flash banners. If you consider rich ads to be displayed on your site, you should go with AdBrite. If you consider CPC rate, use Chitika.
      I’ll also recommend you to use both the services and compare them to figure out the best one for you.

    Thankx Rahul for the great article.

    I am just starting out in blogging But cannot use adsense as I am using wordpress, can I use adbrite or chitika instead.

    • Rahul Arora

      Hey Leo.
      You blog amateurhosting.wordpress.com is not a self-hosted blog. WordPress has mentioned in it’s policies (http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/) that only self-hosted blogs can use full-fledged advertising. You better purchase a domain name and some hosting which supports WordPress, and start blogging there to use more ad networks for monetizing.

  12. Banned By Adsense

    Hi Rahul,

    Good list of pay-per-click Adsense alternatives. Although, I have always had better luck with affiliate marketing – especially on my smaller blogs that don’t get as much traffic.

    adsence is the best.

  17. Vamsi

    I’ve tried AdBrite & Bidvertiser for 3 months on my other well established blogs, but i haven’t reached at-least of 10$….

    It’s a total waste of time using them… after all this is my personal opinion ;)

  18. Lok Bahadur Thapa

    i used bidvertiser a month ago but it didn’t show the clicked amount…that’s why i removed bidvertiser from my website :(

  19. adsense alernatives

    Best Adsense Alternative is www.BreezeAds.com i really loved thise ppc contextual network as its making me easily $50 a day and they take care of whole monetizing compared to everything out there….

  20. goutham

    I tried to send my site www.grtek.in to adsense but it got rejected , any suggestions to make it accepted

  21. jasmine

    Sell your own stuffs or do affiliate marketing.

  22. Steve

    Good post. However, still I would say Adsense is the best. I am making $5,000 a month with Adsense. To make good money through Adsense you need massive traffic. I am currently getting 500k page views a month on my blogs and forums. If you are struggling to make money on Adsense I am offering Adsense revenue sharing, just send me your Adsense Pulisher ID. The traffic on my blogs will increase your Adsense earning and that’s guaranteed. For more details please feel free to email me at steve.haskins@yahoo.com
