Adsense Advertiser Alternatives by Andi Wize
Many people have started using Google's AdSense program, but there are some who
find it a bit too uncertain or simply not suiting their own requirements from
an ad program.
But thankfully for such people, there are many alternatives to AdSense which
attempt to alleviate some of its shortcomings. Here is a list of the most
noteworthy ones from the lot with a description concerning each one.
AllFeeds (http://www.allfeeds.com/?action=publishers
) AllFeeds has a great pool of online advertisers to choose from. It also
features many display formats that you can choose from. These include banners,
buttons, XML feeds, DHTML pop-ups and so on. It also features real time
reporting of your ad status. The site will mail a check every month, provided
that you earn more then $25.00, while rolling over earnings for the next month
if you don't. Another interesting thing about AllFeeds is that it integrates
with Google AdSense, maximizing your earnings with AdSense.
MarketBanker (http://www.marketbanker.com/mb/sell.php
) MarketBanker allows you the unique possiblity to set the pricing for your
site. It also allows you to allow or reject any link that appears on your site
(although AdSense itself does a very good job of this as well, with URL
filters) There's also a statistics section which will allow you to see how well
your site is doing. The ads are small just like AdSense's and they're just as
easy to set up. Also, registration for MarketBanker is free.
BidClix ( http://www.bidclix.com/PubTop.html
) BidClix is different because it has advertisers compete for clicks on your
site, which in turn is meant to generate the highest possible profits for your
page. It also has a very large pool of advertisers which ensure there are
plenty of people to choose your site. However, it does require more polish on
site contents then AdSense. As most sites, real time statistics are available
and its very easy to get started with this service, but it's also very
flexible.
Chitika (http://www.realcontext.com/index.php?option=RealContext:+Contextual+Targeting+Engine
) RealContext uses Artificial intelligence to retrieve the most relevant ads
for your page. And there's an extra feature which makes RealContext unique as
well. Keywords are selected based upon which previous selections payed off and
which didn't. That means there's a constant feedback process that ensures you
gain better revenue from your ads. It also supports blocking certain adds and
child-safe filtering and many more options.
AdHearus (http://adhearus.com/webmaster.php
) AdHearus is a very feature-packed contextual ad provider. As with AdSense,
advertisements are targeted but it doesn't stop here at all. The ads are very
flexible, you can select from text-ads, banners, rectangles, pop-ups,
pop-unders or skyscrapers. You can also display your own ads, through rotation,
both on your site and on other affiliate sites, which makes AdHearus a hybrid
with conventional advertising technologies. There's a very comprehensive
on-line real time reporting feature and, as usual with such services, starting
out is free and it's a breeze.
AffiliateSensor (http://www.affiliatesensor.com/
) AffiliateSensor has highly customizable ad blocks, which you can make for
yourself with an easy to use on-line interface. You also get realtime reporting
with clicks-by-domain, page and refferer. There's integration with Google
AdSense as well, through the google_alternate_ad_url so AffiliateSensor can be
used as a substitute for Google PSA's (Public Service Ads).
Kanoodle Bright Ads (http://www.kanoodle.com/about/brightads.cool
) Kanoodle's offering allows publishers to get ads related to topics or
segments, and not the traditional keyword oriented ads. The site also groups
publisher sites with advertisers by hand to ensure high-revenue generating ads.
And speaking of revenue, the amount of money you receive is a clear 50% share
of the amount of money Kanoodle recieves for an advertiser.
TargetPoint (http://publisher.targetpoint.com
) TargetPoint is oriented more towards content publishers. It offers full
control over the look the ads, statistics over your site's overall performance
and better revenue. It's free to register and you earn a guaranteed 60% of the
total revenue. You can get payed with Paypal of Bank checks and (most times)
wire transfers as well.
Clicksor (http://www.clicksor.com
) Clicksor will earn you as much as 60% from the amount of money your website
produces. What you get is about the same as AdSense, there are targeted text
ads, you can view the revenues from your website in real time. You can receive
money via PayPal or through a check every two weeks, provided that you have
earned more then $50. If you haven't made that much, your earning roll over to
the next period
