Four Alternatives To Google Adsense | Make Money Blogging

Those that are impatient to make money blogging will “cotton on” the looking for Best Google adsense alternatives, especially new blogs and newbie bloggers. Google Adsense policies give no easy room for new blogs to get approval with their tricky policies which are hard to go along with. I remember when I started blogging and apply for Adsense hoping to get magical approval by Google Adsense (laughing at myself now :). It took me more than a month to realize that there are certain things to put in place before any blog/site can be approved by Google Adsense; but before those things are put in place, which even doesn’t guarantee Adsense approval - there are quiet some programs except Adsense you can still do to earn some money.

I’ve been longing to provide Alternatives to Google Adsense for a while but am taking my time to test those alternatives before I can finally let it out, you might have been earshot these alternatives somewhere, but here you will find full details about them. They’ve been tested and I can personally confirm they are good alternative to Google Adsense for newbie bloggers.

 

 Media.Net

 Media.net is Yahoo and Bing contextual ads, if your application with Google Adsense is unsuccessful you can try to request for an "invite only" program of Media.net, the approval is easier than Google Adsense with no strict or hard policies. Their payment is also via paypal, wire transfer and cheque, I can't disagree that their Earning rate is far much more than the Google Adsense because they only count on impressions. To make the most out of media.net you must have at least minimum traffic of 2k page views daily. However, you can still be invited/approved in regardless of your traffic. Their minimum payout is $100. Once you’re approved a Sales Representative will be assigned to you, you don’t really need to contact support as you will be reaching your Sales Representative on mail, and what I enjoyed most is that those Representative are always ready to help and to maximize your earning. Unlike Adsense that their support is weak. Visit media.net now for your invitation, who knows maybe you’ll be approved today.

 Chitika.com

 My blog is not more than two months old since I started using chitika on it, if you’re having hard time getting approved by Adsense you can try out chitika.com, their approval is easy and fast, though to make the most out of chitika program you must have ENOUGH traffic from United States and UK, if you don’t – then don’t bother to apply, (you’ll be really shock with your earning). Am still using chitika despite I’ve got approved by media.net because I believe my traffic from US is okay. Though their  earning can't be no way compare to Google Adsense and media.net but it worth a shot if all options is impossible. Their payment is also via paypal and cheque and their minimum payment is $50, they also have premium Referral

  program.

Addynamo.com

 AdDynamo is contextual ads that also accepting all and sundry, neglecting the amount of your traffic; once you apply to adDynamo you will be approved, you don’t need to kill yourself over disapproval from Google Adsense, where there are some PPC programs you can still be doing. Though their earning is kinda low but you can increase your earing with the tips I explained here, I used their ads for a month with little earnin (but I don’t know about their tips then), their payment is through direct payment and paypal . They also have twitter campaign program for those who want to earn money with their twitter profile, am not using their PPC progam but still using their twitter campaign program which has fetch me some money, you can consider using both to maximize your earnings.

 Smowtion.com

 If your site includes downloading, hacking, and all that, we both know there is no way you can use Google Adsense successfully, but who said you can't make money with your blog? Smowtion is another pay per click program that gives hacking and non hacking sites the power to monetize their site. They earning is rich if you’re having some little traffic and their payment is via paypal and cheque, their approval is easy and fast, you get approved the first day you apply! Though I’m not using it anymore but I’ve once used it and its better for those that got rejected by Adsense.

Before we go, let’s first question what’s adsense click bombing?

Adsense click bombing simply means your ads receive continuous and unusual clicks (usually an abnormal rise in CTR stats) from an angry and malicious people or bots there by sending invalid clicks to your adsense account that will lead to your account getting disabled or banned. If your account is already getting click bombed here are the necessary steps to take from preventing and stop your account from getting banned. 

Check your Adsense Reports Regularly

I know you check your adsense earnings more than you check your traffic status, but don’t check only your earning, you must make sure you check your full adsense reports every time to access all information and reports going on your account, check for daily clicks and where they are coming from, this will give a you a tip-off if there is any invalid clicks or activity going on your account. And if there is one?

Report any Suspicious Activity

Google take invalid clicks very seriously and before you know it, your adsense account is disabled, but before you will get punished for an offense you did not commit, let Google know what’s going on with your adsense by filling an invalid clicks contact form.

When filling this form, enter your name, email address, your publisher id, your url and make sure to state the date and time you notice the unusual activity as well as suspicious IP, referrers and any other necessary details. However there is no guaranteed you will be replied back but worth trying.

 Disable Showing Ads on suspicious IP’s

After you’ve reported the strange activity on your site, don’t just sit back and wait for Google to reply you the truth is they don’t always reply back, you can disable showing ads on suspicious IP address to be on save side, but where there is  a case of random IPs and you aint sure of the IP to disable or there is still continuous click bombing, you can consider disable showing ads on your website just for a while, wait! I know this will decrease your revenue for a while but this is the right action to take to avoid getting disabled or worst banned from the program.

Use These Wordpress Plug-in

There are little Wordpress Plugin that can monitor you adsense from getting invalid clicks and monitor your adsense stats  and logs.

5 Things About Google Adsense That Will Affect You & Your Blog

Google Adsense that will all praise all day can be in some ways affecting us or our blogs, it is understandable for a blogger to make little revenue from his blog and No doubt Google Adsense is the best way to make it possible, but Hey I don't want you to quit blogging just because Google Adsense is not approving your blog, there are many alternatives to Google Adsense and there are more better ways to make money with your blog, which you may loose as soon as you get approved by Google Adsense.

Some bloggers, Webmasters, Online Entrepreneurs may think I write this post out of annoyance, yeah maybe! I was really heated by submitting my application to Google Adsense and still end up disapproved, Why Dont you read through these reasons before you judge me either I write it out of personal satisfaction or not? These are What Adsense will do to you and your Blog

#1 Chase Away Your Readers!

I love and cherish my readers and I believe you always write your posts to your readers satisfaction and make your readers stay as much as they want on your blog, by linking your post to other related  post on the topic you are writing has proved to reduce the bounce rate of your  site on Google Analytic, the best way that benefits you and your readers is to open such link post in another tab on their browser, by doing this they will read both post without loosing the other, but Google has took it all away with their ads that doesn't open in another tab, which you don't have any choice to change it like you do on your posts, once your readers click on those Google ads, they loose the original post they come to read and they are now reading ads, this thereby bring about two things:

Is either you gradually loose readers (readers that in future may be of benefit to you than just clicking ads) or those readers stop clicking on your ads, Now ask yourself, Did your readers come to your site to read ads?


#2 Delay Your Payment

Is there any reason to delay your payment? you may find out from those using Google Adsense that "How many days does it take to receive their money", Google Adsense payment might take more than a month before you receive your payment, if you first get approved they will have to verify your address by sending a pin to you which may take more than 2 months to be verified, and when you start earning lets say your earning reach their minimum payout of $100 on 1st of month, they send the Cheque to you which took 2-3 weeks before you collect it depending on where you live, Bank processing may take 1-3 weeks before it finally credited to your bank account. I was even told that to make your Payment fast within a week you tend to pay 17 euro for speed post, why are they not using Paypal, Liberty Reserve and other fast internet money transfer, to delay your payment perhaps...?

#3 Give You No Customer Support

every ads company have mail support as well as Google Adsense, but what's the value of support that doesn't support itself, you may request for support on certain things and submitted your support, within three to four days you may not be reply back and if you are lucky to be replied, your problem will not be solved, either directed you to the their forum or get your help from somewhere else, I have seen ads company like Chitika replying support question immediately as it's submitted!

#4Too Many Rules

Google Adsense was soaked with rules here and there, you just cant get past'em, the worst past is that you don't really break any rules is just their silly excuse to disapproved you from the program, it is understood that many people has been abused Google Adsense by using tricks or third party program to get their Adsense approved, only because they think they paid high because of their asceticism, which might be proved wrong. Sometimes you will be disapproved and they will notify you that they wont give any specific reason on why your application was disapproved.


#5 Never Let You Back in, Once You Banned

Not like in the olden days when  you apply for Google Adsense in a day and get approved the next day, these days it is really hard for newbies to get their Adsense approved, some has tired of resubmitting their application, some tried with different account still proved futile endeavor, and those that was approved are in danger of not getting disapproved because once you banned there is no good chance of re apply for the program again, unlike other ads company which you barely banned and can still be apply for it, if you so wish to do business with them.

Sorry!
Hey don't criticize me,  I don't say Google Adsense is that really bad, but I cant stop thinking when those up-listed reasons come to my head that "do I really need to be approved by Google Adsense? if you want to answer this question or still see reasons why you should use or stop using Google Adsense, Let me Know by Using the comment Box below.
