I cant use AdSense, but am after the same PPC rates

    As this relates to AdSense ads being served on a website, I hope that I am posting in the right place for this.

    Going back 6 months ago, I was banned from AdSense for reasons that I have never been able to clarify from the team. Due to how closed AdSense are for people to even remotely argue their case, I have been left high and dry, and believe me, if there ever was a legit case of "I didnt do it!", this is as legit as it gets, and I have been badly inconvenienced by this for some time now.

    Anyway, the story is that I am drawing up a blueprint for a new website shortly, and have been using the AdWords keyword research tool to assess how much certain keywords are worth, and so on and so forth. I have a site concept, and it is an extremely high value site concept that fits very nicely into a small niche that is in high demand.

    What I am after is as close as possible PPC rates compared to Google for primarily Australian clicks (and of course, the foreign visitors who are interested in my niche as well!). Is there an alternative (Please dont mention AdBrite, I have been there and done that, and am not impressed!) that either may serve AdSense ads at a slightly lower rate, or another that may serve just as many Australian targeted ads?

    Its a bummer with AdSense, but hey, what can you do, right? Any help with my question would be highly appreciated. Cheers! :)

    Apply again and you will get approved with a decent site.
    just change your adress.Use H# in place of house # etc.
    BTW nobody pays even close to adsense. Google is way ahead of everybody.

    I would rather keep it clean with the same account than risk having a duplicate account banned once earnings have piled up. Cheers for the help though. Its a hard one, because being a site that delivers Australian content, not many other networks would deliver the ads that I am after.

    There is nothing close to adsense in terms of PPC. MSNpubcenter is probably second best, but it's a far cry in terms of click prices. There isn't any other company that comes close to the number of advertisers adsense has, and that translates to lower payouts.

    What about Yahoo? Ive seen people bidding crazy amounts of money on keywords. This was years ago. I think you also have to be a US website or something to get approved.

    ahh k, looks like I am going to have to set myself down the never ending path of trying to negitiate my account to be reactivated. Should be tons of fun. Just sent an e-mail then, I'm sure I'll hear back sometime before 2020. haha

    AS far as Yahoo, I am from Australia, so I cant join up just yet. I have heard good stories too, however Google always has higher competition between keywords from my understanding, so if there is a high competition keyword, I would assume that you would in many more cases get the higher paying click.

    Cheers, thanks for your help guys!

    Yahoo YPN is horrible. Unless you are happy with 10 cents per click vs. $1+ for the same keyword, forget about it. YPN is a failed experiment and they are no longer working at improving it.
