Google AdSense is the current leader in content-sensitive web-based marketing. Webmasters can place Google AdSense JavaScript code on their web pages in order to allow Google's servers to show context sensitive advertisements (Google Adwords). The left hand side of this page shows an example of a Google AdSense skyscraper displaying a text or image ad. Google's terms and conditions are very strict such that many web publishers cannot use adsense adverts on their sites. They are either denied from joining the Google AdSense program in the first instance, or in a situation that is becoming more and more common do not wish to do business with Google. A number of publishers are also finding their Adsense accounts are being disabled for reasons that are completely beyond their control. The problem is that most of the alternatives to Google's Adsense are pretty useless. Most of the good ones (such as doubleclick) are only interested in very large volume customers and so are not interested in the little guy with his blog who wants to earn a small income on the side. For this reason I have compiled my Top 10 alternatives to Google's Adsense that are ideal for the small time publisher. This site provides an updated list of the best website monetization programs that are available to webmasters. If you are a advertiser then you may be interested in these best alternatives to adwords. Has your adsense account been disabled? Then try these top 10 alternatives.

In my experience nothing really comes close to Adsense. They have the most advertisers and highest payouts per click (in the vast majority of cases). However if you can't use Adsense the others are worth a try, especially Chitika. If your niche has some good affiliate programs available it is probably best to use them instead though.
Clickbank is alright, but it is not similar to Adsense unless Clickbank changed something. Hasn't yahoo publisher network been discontinued?
thanks for sharing here. I have used some of them but didn't make much money than adsense..still they are the options...
You can even use two of these services on one site, just read the terms of use and which policies they allow or not.
Among those top 10 I think Clicksor and Chitika have some potential while the rest aren't. YPN has been closed months ago already.
