Here's some suggestions: - selling links on website - selling blog posts - selling links in blog posts - selling banner ads - selling affiliate products - selling ebooks or other products - selling books or other physical products - selling services - selling consulting Do either directly (like using these forums) or use 3rd party services (such as textlinkads.com, payperpost.com, reviewme.com... or the ones mentioned here by others.
That's correct Aussieone! If they decide one of your sites broke TOS (even if some other user went on your site and clicked your ads 100 times and you had nothing to do with it), you don't get any of the money you had pending for payment. None of it
Also, thanks for the list Game Producer! That is very very helpful. I will start working on that list ASAP
Oh, and I was taking a look at that TextLinkAds... great resource! I'm signing up for an account as we speak. I'll let you guys know how that works out
Exactly, nothing works well as Adsense, But Adbrite doesnt show relevant ads, most of their ads are intrusive ones like ads about sex, gambling ...etc
They actually don't 'show' ads. Website owners buy links from you -- you are free to refuse any link if it's not relevant enough.
Look at getting into affiliate marketing. Go straight to the source of the products instead of giving adsense half the money.
Also, take a look at ReviewMe.com (from the company behind TextLinkAds (TLA)), it's really nice. AND, don't forget to sell 2 kinds of affiliate products for TLA: - Refer people to become publishers: this will help you earn $25 (at the time of writing) whenever somebody joins as a publisher. I remember earning something around $400+ in the first month when I mentioned the program (although now the number has gone down, but every now and them I get some referrals) - Another way to refer people is to put the affiliate link "$100 free in text links" which TLA offers. Everytime somebody purchases some links (the links can be any links, not just to your site) you'll earn $25 per referred client And also, if you go with the ReviewMe, again there's $25 commission if somebody purchases a review through your site.
I had the same problem happen to me with my adsense account. I currently use Kontera for in text ads and just started an account with claxon.com both have been working fine so far.
I'd recommend checking out TLA.. I actually wrote an article about them titled Text Link Ads: The Best Alternative to Google's AdSense. Check out the article here... http://www.cwire.org/2006/05/04/text-link-ads-the-best-alternative-to-googles-adsense
Text-link ads is no good for newbies - you need a certain amount of pageviews per month - way more than most startup sites are getting...
try text-link-ads! i have earned a lot of money from it, and i use text link ads on my most of the sites! on my blog, sitefunda.com i use text link ads!! other than than adbrite is another option, but then you need a lot of hits to get some money from it, also alexa ranks are important there!! cj is another option, but then text link ads pays more!
