Alternatives to adsense

[sarahseddon]

Hi

I wonder if anyone can give me some suggestions as to Google Adwords alternatives. We've not had much luck with them and I wanted to see what alternatives are available.

Thanks

You might want to try the Yahoo Publisher Network, but the inventory is not that great.

if adsense didn't work out that well, then there´s a big chance that any other alternative will get you the same result. Perhaps you want to try to figure out why adsense didn't work in stead of wasting time on another system that's likely to get you the same problem.

Yes. I think that's a good point.

Yep, not sure switching to another PPC program would be the answer. You may want to check out some "heat map" diagrams to see if ad placement may be an issue, for example.

But just for information sake, if you're looking for another PPC-type program, one that comes to mind is BidVertiser.

Many of the terms are similar. I've advertised with them, but haven't yet worked with them as a publisher, so I don't know how well it goes on that end.

One difference is (last I knew, unless this has changed since then), the code they give you to place on your site is only for the site they approve, which unlike Adsense, you can't go placing that code across other sites they haven't approved yet.

And Bidvertiser runs text-only ads (no graphics, category, videos, etc).

try shareasale.com - they might have something that will suit your traffic.

Your initial post said, regarding AdSense "We've not had much luck with them" Keep working with them, It is not really a "Luck" game, time and effort will pay rewards..

That's very true, Tubby. At first my Adwords earnings were low, but I worked hard and it is starting to pay off, somewhat.

Chitika Premium works very well for some people - particulalrly if you get traffic from search engines from people looking for Mortgages etc...

Having said that it didn't work for me as I don;t get the right sort of traffic.

Update - I have tried this again using one of their new 'Mega Units' and it is now working fairly well for me



Though it only currently works with USA/Canada traffic (which is less than 50% of my traffic)..

Mind you, adwords income for my sites has nosedived to zero.

Yesterday I had one click shown with zero income.

Today, over 250 impressions, but not a bite from anyone.

I wonder if I should look somewhere else for an advertiser programme?
