    This post comes from my blog: Blogosis. If you find this post impressive, or helpful, please visit my blog and stumble or digg this post. Thanks.

    I got screwed by Google. They canceled my account, so what did I do, I went out and found every alternative I could.

    But now that I've found all these alternatives, I am not just going to waste them. Got some time to sit down and start browsing some affiliate programs? Here you go. A giant list of pay-per click (and some CPM) ad programs.


    Widget Bucks
    - An excellent pay per click, pay per purchase and pay per 1000 views program. It lets you select products you want to advertise like video games, tvs, computers, cameras, movies and more, and put a nice looking widget in many formats on your website. I've stuck this in my posts header and sidebar. The sidebar will be removed when I start making income from alternative resources. I already have 2 clicks from a previous campaign, and from that recieved .70 cents from each click. That is about equal to Adsense advertisements.

    Link Referral - offers multiple tracks to choose from. You can sell products, reviews, ad-space on your blog. This is something really worth trying out. The referral program pays $50 dollars for every member you refer that makes $100 dollars. Take that Google Ass-sense

    Adbrite - Adbrite is a nice pay per click advertising service. It allows you to ad a block for advertising to your page. If no one is buying, or they aren't meeting your minimum specs, you can use other ads in it (such as the deviled Adsense). CPM bonuses are also given at about 15 cents per 1000 page views. I use this in my post headers.

    TTZ Media Affiliate Center - Cool looking advertisements where you can pick products using keywords, or let it contextually match with what you are writing about. You can see my advertisements at the bottom of this page. TTZ offers CPC advertising methods for all those interested. If you sign up make sure you use the code: 2394.

    Chitka - Here is something I may introduce to my website. Chitka has some really amazing looking programs that you may want to check out. They offer a special thing called eMiniMalls which is their main product. It is very similar to Widget Bucks. Other CPC and CPA programs available are the Related Products Unit, Shop Cloud$ (similar to a tag or category cloud), ShopLincs, Ownas, and Linx (in context links). Really interesting!

    Amazon Associates - How could I forget this one? This is how Squidoo is making a fortune! Add one of their many widget styles, select the products you want to advertise (or let them search your context and add items itself). Easy as that. Also, if you are writing a blog about a specific product, link to it on Amazon and see if you can't make a few bucks. Their best referral percentage is 10%.

    Deal Dot Com - Everyday Deal Dot Com has one item they sell at a special price, and will only sell at that price once. Get people to buy it and you make commission. That is CPA for you.

    Shopping Ads - Shopping Ads and Auction Ads used to be two separate entities, but they have now joined allowing you the power to use CPC and CPA ads. Good program used by a lot of good bloggers, but sometimes the formatting gets a bit messed up. Maybe that's just me.

    Bidvertiser- Bidvertiser is a program I used for a while. Its a CPC program, meaning you will make money when someone clicks the ads. They look similar to Adsense ads, but a great feature of this program is you can cash out when you reach the minimum limit of $10. Easy to obtain, too.

    Miva - Kind of a Google spin off with some kickers. There are context ads and inline ads. You can also get some CPC ads from searches on your site.

    Crisp Ads - A new affiliate group sponsoring CPC and CPM ads. Extremely high percentage goes to the blogger (70%). This affiliate is geared towards bloggers.

    Revenue Pilot - Another CPC affiliate. You keep 60% of the links price. Also advertise something called Pay for Performance (PFP). One of the highest payouts listed, and lots of customization options for your ads.

    Text Link Ads - This is one program used by the big guys, like Problogger, John Chow, and Shoemoney. They've reported multiple times that it has made them thousands each month. However, I hear they only accept pages that have page ranks.

    Text Box Traffic - This is a traffic exchange that lets you add advertisements to your website from others. The impressions are exchanged for credits that you can use for link impressions on others pages. No money, but might be good for traffic if you have the right niche.

    TXT Swap - Another link exchange service. Any credits you gain, you can sell on their forums.

    Kontera - My favorite in line text ads provider. They generally only let big sites in, but if you can find the right connections you can get in without a hitch. Provides for good income as well. CPC advertising.

    Expo Active - Place ad blocks on your site and let users bid on them. You can choose from CPM or CPC ads to display.

    Commission Junction - An excellent source for income, CJ can get you money from sales commission, leads, or clicks. There are thousand of products to choose from and apply for.

    Value Click Media - A thorough advertising service that lets you add in and out of page, video, email, and feed advertisements. They advertise themselves as the most "mature affiliate program on the net." Sure...

    Advertising - I think the name says it all. Any kind of advertisements you want, you can get here... If you are accepted.

    Search Feed - An affiliate program with nice payouts at around 35% - 50% taken by the partner. Offers CPC ads.

    Q Ads - This program allows you to ad CPC ads to your blog, website, or RSS Feed. They even have an option to insert it in software you have. They provide software to create the links as well, for the technically challenged... dur dur dur.

    Adsmarket - A traditional CPC ad service. They set up the ads and you split the revenue 50/50.

    AdEngage - Buy and sell text and photo links here. You can choose to sell spots for 1 week, or take money per click.

    Clicksor - A contextual CPC affiliate program. They keep 40% of the costs, and you take 60%. Getting accepted is difficult for new bloggers. You need over 5,000 hits per day to be accepted.

    Ads DAQ - Set up an advertising block and choose CPM or CPC. You can set your own prices.

    Pheedo - Need some ads for your RSS feed? Pheedo has you covered with some CPC ads easily available to nudge in there.

    Burst - A nice looking CPM and CPC advertising program. Looks like they offer video ads, as well.

    Monetize It - A CPA affiliate program. Ad placement is based on your performance within the network.

    Affiliate Sensor - A service that lets you replace your Google PSA ads with advertising from Affiliate Sensor. I believe they are CPA and CPC if I am not mistaken.

    Alternate URL Ads - Another program that lets you make up for lost money from Google POS... I mean PSA ads.

    Alternate URL - Once again, a program that replaces Adsense PSA ads.

    Kanoodle - Advertising affiliate program. Really weird Sign-up questionaire. They ask you "how to access the website" (because opening your browser and typing the url is Web 3.0)

    Mirago - Advertisements for site owners in the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy Switzerland and Austria.

    Industry Brains - Looks like a well run site. You post ad space, and site owners will bid their price per click through. I'm guessing it is tough to get in though, as you need to apply by email.

    Enhance Interactive - These guys set up a flat $25 dollars per sale commission type deal. Ads are also CPC.

    Quigo - CPC advertisesments. Look like your site might need high requirements for you to actually be able to join. Lowest option for "Monthly Pageviews?" was 1 million.

    Vibrant Media - If you have over 500,000 page views a month you can look into this affiliate. They offer in text advertising with videos. Unique among CPC programs.

    Nixxie - Program for those in the UK. Partners up with Overture, Miva, ThomsonLocal, Kanoodle, Kelkoo and Shopping.com.

    One Monkey - Program allowing you to choose CPC or CPM ads.

    Yahoo - Supposedly the next best thing to Google Adsense. Atleast it will be when it is released. It is still in Beta, so you may have some problems trying to join if you aren't a big blog.

    AVN Ads - Cater to "adult tastes." I won't say much more.


    I am to tired to list anymore. If you found this list useful, remember, go to my site here and stumble it, digg it, or anything like that.

    Thanks everyone and enjoy!
