Want to make more money by monetizing your site with ad networks other than Google Adsense?

Have you received the proverbial ‘invalid click’ pink slip and been dumped by Google Adsense?

Maybe you’re not seeing an adequate return on your Adsense ads and want to see whether you can do BETTER with something other than Adsense?

Or perhaps you haven’t figured out how to replace those Public Service ads and want to elimate them?

If THAT’s the case, you can load an alternate ad when Google can’t find a matching ad. Just set the google_alternate_ad_url variable in your AdSense layout code:

google_alternate_ad_url = “/adsense-alternate-ad.shtml”;

Otherwise, here is a nice list of Google AdSense alternatives.

AzoogleAds

Ousted from the CJ network in December 2005 for being “non-compliant” and because CJ “identified a series of isolated violations with Azoogle and has worked closely with them to rehabilitate and make the necessary corrections, to no avail”, AzoogleAds continues on as a CPA network that places great emphasis on lead generation through BidClix

A bid-for-placement model, BidClix enables enables publishers to maximize yield by selling their advertising inventory to the highest bidder. Ads can be served as banners, towers and pop-unders.

Unlike pay-for-placement search engines (such as Overture, Google, FindWhat), BidClix does not sell keywords or search results.

Pays Net 15.

As of April 2005, BidClix had over 5,200 registered publishers, 10,400 registered advertisers and served approximately 1.1 billion ads per month, reaching an estimated 25 million individual consumers in the US and international markets.

Here’s a sample of the BidClix code:

    Chitika eMiniMalls

    Although they serve up the most attractive contextual ads, the jury still seems to be out on the Chitika eMiniMalls network.

    With many affiliates reporting income audits with losses of 30 - 50% of their expected Chitika earnings, numerous publishers have pulled the plug on this fledgling contextual advertiser, still in beta.

    While Chitika publishes Net 30 payments, so far that hasn’t been the case, and to make matters worse, rather than sending publishers notice of this contraventionof their terms of service, they merely posted in on their blog.

    Maybe they haven’t heard about ‘blog to email’ yet?

    Follow the boards on this one though and cross your fingers that they rise to meet their initial expectations.
