Anything worthwhile I checked around requires good amount of traffic per month. Basically, if you have a new site, you're probably out of luck. If I couldn't use AdSense, I'd probably go for an affiliate program (Ebay or Amazon).
For me the best alternative to adsense is organic seo, although its free but it will take time to establish in search and these past few months organic clicks is growing compared to paid clicks.
Lol what? Organic SEO doesn't monetize your traffic, it generates traffic. Like @qwikad.com said, you should try affiliate programs.
I said "For me the best alternative to adsense is organic seo" crystal clear right? I didn't mention that organic seo doesn't monetize traffic.
one the positive alternative - advertising on Pop, or only of ads formats, probably there many alternative.. it might more than one.. you can get access .. and test some of them and what I found is a group for direct publishers Publisherpick, who offering full of monetization to solve your problem to promote it. so keep trying search what is the best to you.
Its not the end of the world if you're not set to use Google Adsense. Due to thier strict policy it's pretty random to be approved. I know some bloggers that has 1500 word articles and about 35 post on their site and yet they didn't approve. However, there are others with 2 post with 1000 words on two articles get accepted. So there are infolinks, Media.net, Skimlinks, Amazon Associate. Those are just a few to boot. There's a bunch of them out there.
How about Facebook and Twitter ads? I don't use twitter, but I do click on FB ads quite often when they show something relevant in my news feed
Forget about Adsense) General monetization may be native from major market players and push notification format. Its two universal safe format for any type of sites.
There are many alternative to adsense depending on what you want to show to your viewers. You can create custom banners for a particular offer from your affiliate site. there is one which has good offers and has good CPC rate too. Crakrevenue and clicksure there approval process is easy too,.
