Hi As my Google adsense earnings are very low this year (down approx. 80 % or more compared to this time last year ) – I have to consider using an alternative in hopes it will put my income back to where it was before.

Does anyone have any suggestions & good , reliable alternatives ? I am looking for the best because it takes so much time to remove adsense then to put a new one on , so I would prefer not to have to do it again OR do you think I should wait for another month to see if my adsense earnings bounce back (they have been way down for 6-7 months now) .


Thanks Craig

there are plenty of them if you do research
the leading one is adbrite i've been using

There are a lot of affiliate networks out there too. What is your niche Craig? Maybe you can run some sign ups, etc. that fit your niche?

I make money with AdSense myself, but other things pay much better in my experience.

The best alternative banner ads I use is advertising.com's pubaccess. This is per impression revenue based as a posed to per click based though. If you are looking for a good click based revenue source there is a new one called Smowtion. I have heard good things about Smowtion from some people. It wasn't great for me, however. I guess it just depends on your site so give it a try and see how you go.

Don't forget to also use text link ads such as either Kontera or Infolinks. I suggest Infolinks if you are not getting huge volumes of traffic.

Hi Makio thanks for the info - but what is an impression & how does it work ?

You are welcome. Impression is a page view. So you get paid based on page views rather than ad clicks. You still do get paid for clicks but nowhere near as much. On my site I have Adsense for Clicks income, Pubaccess for Impression income and Infolinks for text links income. For me, this works best.

Good luck with your site.
