Alternatives to Google Adsense | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

both cj and flex offers are good next step. Info links is definitely better than kontera. After a while, you will also find other niche programs that you can sign up for. But for the most part adsense, cj, and flex are all that you really need.

Great List, but putting more affiliate links in your sites can harm your ranking. I don't have anything in my blog..

Though I have bookmarked it. ;)

Can you put a little more info about Infolinks? Do you get paid when the reader just hover and not click through?

I haven't had much luck with CJ and flexoffer. 

I'm using media.net as an alternative to Adsense and I'm pretty happy with them.

I should split test Ad Brite and see how that does. Or maybe just put a tower ad in the sidebar.

Thanks for the comprehensive list. 

I've had excellent luck with media.net. In some cases it is much better than adsense. It is very site-dependent, though. It excels on sites where you get most of your traffic from search. If most of your traffic is from referrals, you probably won't do as well with it.

This is all Greek to me, but something has to be better than Adsense. According to them, I've earned 22 cents in four months.

This discussion seems to imply that I can't have both Adsense and Media.net ads on my blog at the same time without offending Big G. Am I getting this right? If so, I've searched both Adsense Program Policies and Terms & Conditions and can't identify the clause that prohibits me from using Media.net ads on my site, along with Adsense ads. Thanks for your time in helping me understand this.

From what I understand, you can, if you have them look different enough. I went a different way though, and though I run both on my site, I never have both showing at the same time.

Thanks Invest It Wisely, that was my tentative conclusion. But as a newbie, and considering the consequences, I'm treading very carefully! From the Adsense Program Policies:

"In order to prevent user confusion, publishers may not display Google ads or search boxes on websites that also contain other ads or services formatted to use the same layout and colours as the Google ads or search boxes on that site. Although you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to ensure that these ads cannot be confused with Google ads."

There's a lot of subjectivity built in here as to what is 'confusing', but the door does seem ajar to running Adsense and Media.net ads simultaneously.

Thanks, and any other thoughts appreciated.

I agree, and I decided it was better to not run them at the same time so that there could definitely be no confusion. ;) I think Google errs on the side of ban, so better to end up on that right side.
