12 ALTERNATIVE AD NETWORKS TO GOOGLE ADSENSE

What a nice phrase on an email to start the day! “Your Google Adsense account has been disabled or temporarily banned”.

Well, consider you’re not alone. Everyday, hundreds or thousands of accounts are being banned from Google’s Adsense program. Why? Either there’s something wrong with the web you’re putting you ads on, or you just simply missed one rule from Google’s TOS.

Instead of crying or bashing Google in multiple forums (actually, this is a very bad idea), remember the world is not over yet, and there are plenty of alternatives out there to try.

Types Of Ads
Now let’s briefly take a look at the main types of ads available to publishers looking to shift to an AdSense alternative.
Targeted Text Ads: These ads are text-based and are usually found in groups. They are targeted to match the site’s content or the search phrase that was used on a search engine to bring them to your site’s page.


In-Text: These styles of ads popup when you hover over selected text phrases with your mouse. A small box pops up and usually contain either images, text or video as well as the ad’s link.
Display: Display ads contain images, headlines, body text and other elements used to get a viewer’s attention. Sizes range from eighth page to full page ads.
Banner: These are your typical image ads you see on many sites. They can be just the image or an image with a text line above or below it. Sizes range from button size to half page and come in all orientations.

You should also checkout some native ad networks, mobile ad networks, CPM based ad networks and affiliate ad networks to explore alternate monetization options.
