Alternatives

So what are the alternatives to Adsense?

I found clicksor.com, anyone use/like them?

 

How about Amazon.com? Does anyone earn good money with them? I thought that it could improve the Adsense earning so I signed up with Amazon too. Not impressive at all so far.
Of course, jstroh, you were referring to Adsense similars, and this is not the case.

 

I sell roughly 30 books a month as an amazon associate...... I do a lot better with it, then I thought I would.

 

I have been chatting to one guy who got banned from adsense awhile back, and loves this one......
http://www.burstmedia.com/

I have a list of over 15 different programs right now, lol am saving them and always looking for more, in case I also get the adsense axe for nothing....

 

I Highly recommend burst media for alt to adsense but defiantly not a replacement. I get about 1/5th the cpm

 

Staying on topic:

Shoemoney, do you have a better alt for AS than burst media?

Now off topic:

I like the large photo "googleninja"

So has anyone used clicksor?

 

I've heard from other boards by I cannot remember the name of the forum about some bad articles describing clicksor, However I didn't tried uisng their ads still.

 

I have been told they do pay but that is all i have heard i never tried it myself

 

In the last 2 years I have used marketbanker/adbrite, clicksor, adhearus, amazon, and burst media for Adsense alternatives. Below is from my experience for a 720 skyscraper ad using the following companies as the alternative google ad. By alternative google ad I mean the ad that loads when google cant find suitable content. I have tons of dynamic content on some of my sites so this is the case until the mediabot can come and serve relevant ads for google. This spot averages about 20-25k/month from adsense.

This banner sees about 28 million impressions a month being the alternative and I rotate it between the following.

Adbrite is ok if your site has low paying google ads but alot of traffic. The downside is your stuck in a kind of contract with people for a time period. Adbrite seems to be really seasonal. from last september until feb I averaged about 2k/month. Otherwise its about 500/month

clicksor is pretty standard adsense clone. Pays pretty low though. about 50$ a month

Amazon banners for me have paid really bad... in the last 6 months ive made like 10$.....

Adhearus is pretty good pay out is pretty high but people have to agree they are click on ads... the 2 step process sucks... the most I have made from adhearus was 1k/month. In the last 2 years avg is prob about 400$/month

burst is a newer and i dont have 2 years of data on them. So far I have only done 3 months with them. I am averaging about 200$/day so far. If this continues I will only use burst media as my adsense alternative and look into replacing adsense on some of my sites with burst.

 

Shoemoney, Thx!

I found crispads.com ... gives 25 cents per click flat. . but only for bloggers!

 

I've used clicksor. They're nice, but very low PPC.


Kanoodle is good, but only if you have 99% US traffic, they don't count international clicks.

Bidvertiser is ok, but the ads are very low quality.

Targetpoint is nice, but they had a problem with their ads loading slow.. it might be fixed by now though. (They've paid me, a nice big $7 check )

I can't wait to try Yahoo's

i cant wait to try yahoo's aswell

 

When is Yahoo's coming out? I haven't been able to find anything on it.

 

I like primary ads.....pays extremely well per lead....lead can be anything from a zip code to a short form (purchase never necessary) and $ can be anythign from a dollar to around $70 per lead depending on the campaign....hundreds of campaigns to choose from...link in sig

 

Hmph.. I actually used a ref. link for the first time in.. months. Anyway, looks neat. Have you actually gotten paid by them? Do they pay on time?

I use targetfirst.com, and it seems nice. but i'm new in it so i don't have enough data to share with you. sometimes i get about 0,50$ per click but yesterday i got 0,3$ for 8 clicks... i'll wait a little bit and i'll write more impressions about it...

 

was that directed to me?

 

Yeah...

I've signed up. Seems nice, a lot of offers and such. Better than the affilliate program I was using before.
