Google Adsense Alternatives: Best 12 Money Making Alternatives to Google Adsense

No doubt, Google Adsense is the main source of income for lots of content rich websites and blogs. When we talk about how to make money online from a website, the first thing that comes to our mine is monetizing it through Google Adsense. But there can be situations when we need to look at Google Adsense Alternatives. Here are some situations when we want to give a try some Adsense alternatives:
  • Your publisher account with Google Adsense is not accepted for some reason
  • Your account is disabled for reasons that are beyond your control
  • You are not happy with Google Adsense earnings and no more interested in using Google Adsense on your website and blog
  • You want to try some other monetization methods with Google Adsense on your website and blog
  • Minimum Payout and mode of payment don’t suit you.
The real problem with lots of Adsense alternatives is that they are no way near Google Adsense when we compare our earnings potential with them. There are some money-making programs, but they are good for high traffic websites. I have compiled a list of best 12 alternatives to Google Adsense that are ideal for small as well large websites and can be used in combination with Google Adsense to earn lots of extra money from our blogs and websites.





1. BuySellAds
BuySellAds is the best alternative to Google Adsense if I consider the earning potential we have with them. Buy Sell Ads is the marketplace for buying and selling ad space on websites and blogs. BuySellAds does not accept low traffic websites into their network. Working as a publisher with them, you need to create ads inventory into your account and once you get a banner advertising initiation, you need to accept or reject it. BuySellAds has been giving away 75% of total earning to its publishers. You can transfer your earnings twice in month time into your Paypal account and there is no minimum payout type in case of Paypal transfer.
2. Puxee.com
Puxee.com can be considered as a good alternative to Adsense, which allows us to make money by selling banner advertisements on our blog. You can set some fixed monthly price for each banner unit on your blog. Puxee.com used to keep 25% percent of earnings, which is very low, compare to lots of other advertising programs. Even Google Adsense gives just 68% percent of earnings to the publishers and keeps the rest of money in its pocket.

Bonus Google Adsense Alternative and Most Recommended: Products and Services Selling
If you have a niche specific website or blog, you can make more amount than Adsense if you have the right kind of products to sell. First of all you can create your own products and then sell them to your audience through your website. And if don’t want to go for your own product, you can sell others product through your website and make commission for each sale. You can use Amazon, ClickBank, LinkShare, eBay, Commission Junction etc type of networks who have proper affiliate program in place.
And if you are good in web designing, web development, SEO and content writing etc, you can sell them as services to your audience. But your website content should match with your services industry. I’m noticing lots of bloggers in blogging niche are able to make thousands of dollars every month through their blogs by offering small size services like blog migration, WordPress SEO, Theme Customization and through content writing etc.
No doubt I had already felt the taste of lots of good websites that we can use for making money from our websites. But for some time now, I have been making most of my earnings through affiliate products sale, doing reviews and no doubt very small portion of it is coming through Google Adsense.
I would like to know which networks you are using to make money online from your websites and blogs and also share your thoughts about different Google Adsense Alternatives, that are shared in this post above in the comments section.
