Was your Adsense application rejected? Or, are you trying to test another alternative along with the Adsense? Anyways, for both of the cases, we have 10 best adsense alternatives to check out and increase your earnings (with payment proof).
So I recommend you to also fix those issues and you can also read this awesome article by Ammar Ali about the Adsense approval guide.
Anyways, our main topic is still about the alternatives to Adsense and also we will have to figure out which one is the highest paying Adsense alternative.
Why Do You Need an Alternative?
We know Adsense is the best ad provider on today’s date but sometimes best is not always best. What I really mean is sometimes Adsense might not suit you.
The case might be Adsense rejected your website, your niche doesn’t produce much revenue with Adsense and the main, Adsense can suspend your account anytime.
So, in order to prevent the loss in case of Adsense suspension you must use other Adsense substitutes also.
I have seen many bloggers who used to display the Adsense ads on their blogs but Adsense suspended their blog by saying they’ve violated Adsense Terms & Conditions.
Now, what will they do? They will also reject the adsense and look after the best adsense alternatives and this post is especially for them.
Look what people have to say about replacing the Adsense
I know most of the Google Adsense rules are great and helps to ensure the quality to users but few of them are just as show off.
Since the time is passing and they’re the leading ad distributor in the market, they have started to be more strict with the website owners with some very crazy policies.
So, it is necessary to replace the adsense or use other alternatives along with the Adsense as the insurance to future.
Does it Harm Adsense By Using Alternative
No, it doesn’t harm Adsense account if you use any sort of adsense alternative. Unless that ad distributor has malware codes or harmful viruses. Rather it can increase your revenue,
However, if you’re trying to get approval for Adsense again then I’ll recommend you to remove all ads and make website clean. This increases the chances of your approval.
Anyways, since we’re searching for the alternatives to adsense you can use multiple publishers program at the single website at a time.
Best Adsense Alternatives – Best Alternatives to Adsense
Ok since the whole article is about this, we’ve finally come to the main point. Believe me or not but there are way too many adsense alternatives you’ll get tired of testing. Here in this list, we’ve only mentioned the best adsense alternatives only.
Media.Net
Meida.Net also known as the Yahoo Bing Contextual Ad Network is the best adsense alternative among all. If you’ve enough traffic from American countries like US & Canada then you may probably generate higher income than the Adsense. I’ve used MediaNet before and believe that, they are really good when it comes about the quality and revenue.
As MediaNet shows the contextual ads which means the ads get customized highly related to your article. Due to this your earning can be satisfying with high CTR. They also allow you to add their ads in the fixed sidebar which also increases your revenue which adsense doesn’t allow to do.
Payment Method: Wire Transfer / Paypal
Minimum Payment Threshold: $100
Minimum Traffic: N/A
Mediavine
“If you ever get selected by MediaVine without any wait kick adsense out of your blog”, this is what I heard from the people using Mediavine. They have one of the fastest loading ads which are way too much faster than the Adsense ads. They also have some special publisher loyalty programmes to encourage the publishers. You would need a huge amount of organic traffic to be approved which means you should rank on top of Google.
Mediavine provides 70% of advertising share to publishers whereas adsense provides only 68%. So, this will be the major advantage for you. Also, publishers who are well performing and satisfying the advertisers get extra 5% (75%) commission as the reward.
As per the publishers who use MediaVine. The revenue from Mediavine is way too higher than adsense. But they don’t accept the websites focused on Asian countries such as Nepal, India, Pakistan etc. They approve the site only after seeing the full Google Analytics report of the site. In another word, getting approval to MediaVine is harder than approval in adsense. Also, once you get enrolled in the Mediavine you cannot use other ad distributors on your site. That’s their policy.
Payment Method: Paypal
Minimum Payment Threshold: N/A
Minimum Traffic: 25,000/mo
Infolinks
Without a doubt, Infolinks is the best Adsense substitute but it is completely different than the Adsense. In adsense, we can add ads to our desired area whereas in infolinks you have to select the ad types and ads will automatically be shown. This might be taken as advantage and disadvantage both.
Anyways, as per the user experience, Infolinks need a very high amount of US traffic from search engines in order to make a decent income. As per them, they give 70% of ad revenue to the publishers. They provide inText, inFrame, inSearch, and inTag ad types. However, your website must be in English and getting approval is comparatively easy.

However, Amazon Native Ads is not like any other CPM networks. Here, you need to make an actual sale to earn money from it. You usually earn same as in amazon affiliate network.

Chitika
This is the network that I used for the first time when I was rejected by the Adsense for the first time? So, how was the experience? Though the network is brilliant (i am honest) I didn’t even make $10 from Chitika. The reason? Because I didn’t have much traffic (2-3/day) and I was already in greed of making money from my website. But later I realized that I should focus on increasing my website content and started writing more and more articles.
So, again after using it when I was able to get sufficient amount of traffic then the earning was decent (not as much as adsense). Chitika has only two ad types. They are Display (Banner ads) and In-line Text. I would recommend you to use Chitika only if you’ve decent traffic from search engine (North America recommended) and affiliate marketing doesn’t suit your website.

Revenue Hits
RevenueHits is another ad network that’s especially recommended for websites with low traffic or major traffic from places other than North America.

Since they have 2 billion ad views per day, you can be sure that their ads are relevant enough to convert into the dollars.

Which Adsense Alternative is the Best Choice for You?
By comparing all the best alternatives to adsense, we’ve chosen some best ones as per the publisher status. So, which one is the best suit for you? If you’re the publisher with more than 50,000 visitors per month then you might want to go with Mediavine.
They give you 70% of the ad revenue from the advertiser. Also, they’ve got very highly reputed and highly targeted advertisers in the business. Just follow their guidelines and apply and you’re ready to blast your account with tons of cash.
What if you’ve less traffic?
In this case, I would recommend you to go with MediaNet and Revenue Hits both. As per the people’s buzz in the forums, they believe that this combination helps to increase the earnings for the new website. Revenue Hits is a CPA website which pays even if the single action is completed and this will help a lot to the newbies.
Whereas, MediaNet is PPC ad network where you’ll earn on the basis of views and clicks of the ads. So, using these both together will help to give a significant rise to your earnings even without the Adsense.
However, if your site is related to cooking, gadgets or similar where your readers might be interested in products then Amazon Native Ads are great. I know it seems difficult to make sales but trust me, their ad’s recommendation engine is really cool. It recommends the exact products which your readers might be looking for.
Why only these adsense alternatives?
Honestly, there are more than 50+ google adsense alternatives. However, we only listed only a few of them. The reason?
Well, the rest of the alternatives to adsense were useless. There are networks like Bidvertiser which are known as best alternatives to adsense. However, they are not.
They pay you so less that you can say you were never paid. The companies like them actually just display useless ads on your site which obviously slows down your website more than any other alternatives.
On average, on such networks, you can get paid around $10 for 100,000 ad impressions and 10,000 clicks. No matter how good your CTR is and what is your niche. This is what you will get.
If you use above mentioned adsense alternatives, for the above mentioned stats you’ll easily make around $200-$300. However, still, it depends upon your niche.
