Google Adsense is the leading ad-serving program in the market, both for ad publishers and advertisers. Why look for alternatives, when AdSense is the best? Surprised?

AdSense has made it’s approval process tougher than ever. Now, they only approve high-quality sites that 100% comply with their TOS. And here, you need alternatives.

If you too are going to apply for an Adsense account, know the basics to get approved easily.
