Chitika – The Best Option as Adsense alternative

Chitika was founded in 2003 and is the industry’s leading impulse merchandising company. Chitika is ideal for websites that have substantial US traffic. They also support some of the European countries too. As per our experience Chitika ads are very relevent to any type of content you may have in your site. There are only very few ad networks apart from Google Adsense who has got such a great inventory. They have many standard ad formats similar to Google Adsense along with “Inline Ads” and “White Space Ads”. I wish they had “Search” codes too. Chitika is great for the advertisers as Chitika only tracks clicks that generates from US/Canada and few more European countries. Online sale of various products are very common in US and Europe. So, you get high payrate per click. Chitika Premium is another advanced ad code if implemented, is shown to “Search Traffic” only from US Traffic only.

Kontera – Inline Ad Network

Kontera Ad Network is not like Google Ads. They are inline ad network and very successful too. ContentLinks are contextually relevant ads and information units dynamically linked to keywords on a publisher’s web page.  The keyword is linked to the most relevant and highest paying text ad from among Kontera’s thousands of advertisers. ContentLink maximizes your advertising revenue by running In-Text Advertising alongside your existing banner, text, or other ads on your site, thereby providing you with a new revenue stream from your content. With ContentLink ads on your site you control the number of ads appearing in your content, the links’ color placement, and overall look and feel, the way the ad unit is launched when a user clicks, as well as competitors’ filtering, keyword filtering, etc.

YPN _ Yahoo Publishers Network

YPN is probably one of the best alternatives available to users who are from US only! The YPN is still in BETA stage. They are actually in Beta Test period for years. They have similar ad formats as Google Adsense and many users report that they pay way more (if not similar) than Google Adsense. Not all sites are approved for the service. Simply display ads that are relevant to the content of your site and earn money from qualified clicks. No investment is required and setup is quick and easy.

Clicksor – Ad Network

Drive customers to your web site with text ads, graphical banners, interstitial ads and pop-under ads. You can choose any cost metrics from pay per click, pay per view and pay per visit. Clicksor is another good alternative to Google Adsense. However they have too many pop up ads. Also it takes a long time to load their ads. They have payouts upto a market leading 85% and unlike a number of alternatives the cost per click bid values are high enough that you can earn a decent income. If you are happy with pop up ads, go for clicksor. I tried their ad for about a week. The paements are good per click but they have little too much of Viagra Ads. So, I discontinued their ads.

Bidvertiser
Bidvertiser is another alternative to Google Adsense. However thier pay rate is very low copared to many other adsense altertatives available (as experienced by CalcuttaSeo). The positive side is low payout level ($10) and the fact that Paypal is supported. (Adsense minimum payout is $100). Somehow their ads look dull to me and I never had any success with Bidvertiser at all. BidVertiser supports 5 groups of ads: Banners, Buttons, Inline Ads, Skyscrapers and Free Design. All ads are fully customizable.
