AdSense earnings are dropping I need an alternative

    Hi everyone!

    I have a game website, its getting around 1300 uniques a day, about which 75% come from search engines, and about 3500-4000 pageviews a day.

    Now over the last 6 months or so, my adsense earnings have dropped like a bomb, I was making about $25 a day at the begning of the year, now earning have gone right down to $3 or $4 a day :eek:

    AdSense just isn't cutting is anymore, I need an alternative, so I'm looking for a suitable banner advertising network which I can add to my site...

    Which would be the most relevant ad network for me to join?

    thanks

    I would try to find some affiliate programs with products that fit sites topic. One sale could make you more than adsense.

    I have a tried a couple of affiliate programmes in the past, but they were not performing very well... im looking for a flash banner network with a reasonable eCPM

    You can also try using the Adbrite and BidAvertiser as Adsense Alternative for banner advertising network.

    Anytime I see my Adsense drop I mix up the ad placements and they jump right back up again.

    Increased 5x just by doing this, twice..

    There are a lot of better alternatives than Adsense. Chango, Infolinks, Chitika, Vibrant Media, etc. or do CPA offers.

    Have you tried to switch placements of ads or even work on gaining some traffic. Possibly SEO?

    Better to experiment ad placements. I don't think Adsense alternatives will give you better earning. If you can sell ads(Banners or text links) directly it will be a good option.

    Try affiliate marketing like Clickbank or Commission Junction or CPA networks like Maxbounty. You get paid like $1-$3 when people fill in their email.
