Sorry, I am sure this has been done many a time before, but: What alternative to PSAs in AdSense do people generally use? Is there some one, or are there some few, that seem to be clear consensus choices? "We only ask because we want to know."
I am maintaining a (somewhat) comprehensive list at What are alternatives to Google AdSense?. Currently, I am most happy (least unhappy?) with Clicksor.
I use selfmade banners, with links to pages on my site (with ads), and/or affiliate links... Works good on my site, and I have full control over the ads myself..... One example here: http://www.military-quotes.com/ad.htm
You need to be huge in order to signup with Overture's Content Match. I don't even know of anyone (personally) that *can* display Overture ads.
Oh, I didn't know since I had never looked into it. So has anyone here used BidClix? I'm considering signing up now that I have multiple ad units and not every unit gets used on every page.
BidClix didn't make me so happy. The ads selection was very small. Veoda would be the best, if they didn't have so many technical problems. Ad selection is so critically important! Clixor would be the best, if they had an ad selection as good as Veoda.
After reading these threads, I decided to make my own from my internal sponsors database. I figured since I never got anything from allfeeds and because I don't want psa's on my site, I would set it up so hopefully it will get visitors to see more of my site and maybe click on other ads they otherwise would not have seen. If nothing else, it looks just like google so it blends in perfectly and keeps the structure of the site in tact.
A PSA is a Public Service Ad. When AdSense can't find an ad that is relevant to your page, it will display a PSA. You are not paid when someone clicks a PSA.
