Top Google Adsense Alternatives

Google Adsense is a web tool that allows publishers in the Google Network of content sites to automatically serve text, image, video, and rich media adverts that are targeted to site content and audience. These adverts are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google, and they can generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. Google servers advertisers using google adwords platform, while adsense is the publishers platform.


Google Adsense is the top Ad Publishers platform over the web ranking number one in web advertising industry. Adsense offers contextual advertisements that covers web sites, blogs, games, videos, mobile browsing etc. What made Google Adsense no. 1 is the reliability, stability, variety of services and large number of publishers including google it self. Also google has a fair platform that detects invalid clicks so google successfully protects its advertisers and also offers its best publishers top CPC.


Two reasons are behind people thinking of adsense alternative:

• Banned from Google Adsense
• Earn additional income apart from Google Ads

Some other reasons like the revenue share or the ads variety or etc. are other reasons for looking for alternatives. Below is a list of the best adsense alternatives that I was able to find over the web and have high reviewes by publishers and advertisers:

Those platforms offers almost equal service to adsense, Try any of them and comment to this post with your opinion.

My advise to new publishers is to focus on quality content because high revenue is a result of unique and beneficial content. You don't need to republish what is already available you need to produce your own unique content to score high.
