Top 10 Highest Paying and Best Google Adsense Alternatives

Check inside for a detailed post about Top 10 highest paying and best Google Adsense Alternatives to monetize your blog in several other ways than Adsense.

In a recent interview at techulator.com, I was asked if the increasing competition has actually resulted in less revenue for bloggers, and my answer was, No, the competition has never ever affected the revenue model of bloggers, instead, it has given them many more chances to increase heir revenue. Before a few years, Google Adsense was the only major ad service provider for webmasters as well as bloggers, but in recent few years, many other ad networks have joined the market. Some of them are paying on per click basis, some are paying on per impression basis etc. So this actually concluded my answer in that interview that competition has actually given them a chance to monetize their property in many other ways.

Having a Google Adsense account is still a dream for many of the bloggers, specially the bloggers from India and other Asian countries. Google is very much strict wile considering the applications for those webmasters who list themselves as Indians or residents of any other country in Asia, this might be because Asia is the biggest spamming spot, but at the same time, it is very much disappointing for the bloggers who work very hard to earn a bit of revenue from their blogs and finally d up with a disapproved Adsense account.
If it was a scenario 5 years back, anyone would have thought there is no other way of monetizing and left hope with their blog, but today, there are many more options to choose from and a blogger need not to get disappointed if Google doesn’t approve their application, there are many other monetizing options. In this post, I will be writing about 10 Highest Paying and best Google Adsense Alternatives.

BuySellAds

BuySellAds is one of the best Adsense alternatives present in the market as of today. Sometimes, even BuySellAds is very much more strict while considering the applications for approval of an account. You need to have a decent number of page views before your account gets approved. Once approved, you can place the name of your website in the marketplace. Once any of the advertiser shows any kind of interest in your website, you will be notified by email and then you can go ahead with the procedure,Once the formalities are done, You will get 75% of the revenue and BuySellAds will keep the remaining 25%. The amount can be withdrawn twice a month and the minimum amount which can be withdrawn is 50$. Mode of payment will preferably be PayPal. BuySellAds mainly display banner ads which are provided by the advertiser, but before a few days, they have launched a feature called BuySellAds unreserved, under they display Google Adsense Ads on your blog and you do not need to wait for an advertiser to show interest in your website. Once your account is approved and you get an advertiser, BuySellAds will provide you a code, which you have to put wherever you want to display the advertisement.

InfoLinks

InfoLinks is one of the most popular and widely used Ad Network. This is the first choice of webmaster with or without Google Adsense. InfoLinks mainly displays inline advertisements in the form of hyperlinks. Some of your text in the post will be hyperlinked and once the user puts mouse cursor over it, the ad will highlight. InfoLinks also pays on the basis of Per Click. This is most profitable when you have many visitors from western countries like the United States, Canada, United Kingdom etc. The mode of payment is PayPal, you can request a withdrawal once in every month after your amount reaches 50$. You will surely not need a high-profile website to get approved for InfoLinks like Google Adsense or BuySellAds. Even if you have a 10 day old website with less traffic, InfoLinks will approve you within 24 hours of applying. Once your account is approved, you can integrate the ad to your blog or website using 3 minute integration guide given on their website.

Chitika

Chitika was basically started as an affiliate website which used to pay commissions to webmasters and blogger on the basis of sales made from their web pages. Chitika believes in something greater than the traditional advertising boxes with some of the popular ads. If you are having Chitika, you will always see as related to your post. If you are having a gadget blog, you will be getting ads with the buying link of the same gadget or its competitor. Every sale which gets referred from your website will fetch you a good amount of commission. Chitika has a very well optimized system to display ads on mobile content. For local visitors, Chitika offers a” Pay Per Call” plan with the payout of 2$-20$. According to that, Chitika puts the visitor in direct contact with the advertiser and it gives huge possibility of increasing sales. The minimum payout is 10$ by PayPal ad 50$ by check. Chitika is also popular because it gives you the complete control over your ad. You can customize it in the way you want, just like Google Adsense.

Bidvertiser

Bidvertiser also a great alternative to Google Adsense. It works as a combo of PPC (Pay Per Click) and Affiliate Marketing. You will get revenue on every valid click plus, if any of the click from your blog gets converted to a sale finally, you will get affiliate commission too. Bidvertiser was one of the first Ad Network to start a service of this kind and this is something which makes it a unique and strong competitor to Google Adsense. This provides traditional banner advertising solution with handsome payout.
A few months back, Bidvertiser announced a new feature, which is called Bidvertiser Toolbar. This is a real cool option to boost your earnings. Using this feature, you can download Bidvertiser toolbar, customize it with your logo and your information and ask your visitors to install that in their browser. You will get a handsome amount when anyone uses that toolbar to search something. The minimum amount which can be withdrawn is 50$ via PayPal and 100$ via cheque.

Intellilinks

Intellilinks is also an Ad network which works similar to Infolinks but they have an integrated feature to sell links on your blog. They do have a customized dashboard and you can display inline advertisements along with that, Intellilinks give you an option to make some extra money with link sales. You just need to install a plugin in order to allow the Ad network to work. You can either allow Intellilinks to place the links automatically or you can review before you allow them on your blog. This is a pretty good integration of these 2 services and it enables you to make some extra money without much efforts. There is one best thing about Intellilinks, there is no payment threshold for the payment, no matter how much you earn, whether you earn 5$ or 1000$ in a month, you will get paid at the end of every month by PayPal.

Clicksor

Clicksor is also an important and very popular Ad Network present on the internet and one of the best Adsense Alternatives. In terms of users, it is the third most popular publisher network after Google Adsense and Infolinks. Clicksor displays inline advertisements as Infolinks and Contextual banners as Google Adsense. The payment threshold is just 50$ and can be withdrawn using PayPal, Cheque or Bank Wire Transfer. If you have a good friends and followers base, you can earn some additional money by referring your friends to Clicksor. The best thing about them is, you will need to provide your site keywords at the time of signup and Clicksor will always display ads which are relevant to your content. One more positive factor is, you will not need to put code several times in a page if you want to show more than one ad, you will just need to paste the code once.

Adbrite

Adbrite is not a very popular ad network because they do not have anything to offer from their side, but it can be a very handy alternative to Adsense for those who have potential visitors. Adbrite shows a banner on your website with a phrase “Advertise on this Website”. Once an advertiser sees that Ad, he can click there and then Adbrite will look into the whole process of having the conversation with the advertiser and getting that ad displayed on your website.

Dynamic Oxygen

Dynamic Oxygen is relatively new to the advertising market. They started at the end of 2010 but made a huge progress. One of the main reason why they are becoming popular is, they consider every single visitor of your website and pay you accordingly on every valid click from any place in this world. Unlike Google Adsense, Infolinks and other ad networks, this Google Adsense alternative shows different ads for visitors of different locations so that you do not have to face low CPC (Cost per Click) for the visitors from countries except United States and Canada. The minimum payout is 50$ which can be withdrawn via PayPal or Cheque.

Exit Junction

Exit junction is also relatively new and a unique way of advertisement. You can use Exit Junction with any other Ad provider because of it’s unique mode of advertisement. Exit Junction does not show the ads when a visitor is browsing through your website, but when someone leaves your website, a popup gets displayed and you get paid for every single impression. This depends mainly on the search engine visitors and beneficial for you to monetize those visitors who enter your website by a search engine and exit within seconds. The ad displayed on the popup is according to the keyword which was searched by the user to enter your website, this ensures that user gets to see niche targeted ad which results in and makes sure you get a decent amount of revenue. The minimum amount which can be withdrawn is 25$.

B4PSAds

This name might sound kinda awkward, but they do provide great service. B2SPAds have integrated CPC and CPA. You can paid for per click and if your click gets turned into an action for the advertiser, you get paid additionally. You can control your campaigns using a fully automated dashboard and the main thing is, you do not need to wait for the end of a month. Whenever you reach the payment threshold, you can request a withdrawal and you get paid immediately by PayPal or direct transfer to your bank account. They also organize monthly contests for publishers, so if you win any of those, it will boost your that month’s earning.

Although the Bugatti Veyron lost the title to SSC Ultimate Aero on March 2007, Bugatti challenged the record in Germany on July 10, 2010 with the new Super Sport and the Bugatti Veyron reclaimed the title of the fastest car in the world at 267 mph. The original Bugatti Veyron had a top speed of 253 mph, priced at $1,700,000 with 1001 hp.


#2 is a tie at 260 mph!

2. Hennessey Venom GT: 260 mph (418 km/h), 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, has a 6.2-liter LS9 Turbocharged V8 Twin Turbo V8 Engine producing 1200 hp, with a price tag of $950,000. The Venom GT has yet to be tested and proven, but could possibly hit a top speed of 275 mph. This might just be the Veyron Super Sport's closest challenger!



2. Koenigsegg Agera R: 260 mph (418 km/h), 0-60 mph in 2.9 secs. 5.0-liter V8 Engine with twin turbo’s, housing 1099 hp. Base price is $1,600,000. If you're into snow sports, the Agera R can be fitted with a Ski Box as well as winter tires. While the Agera R has a massive theoretical top speed, the current tested top speed is 260 mph. Expect this snow car to be the Bugatti's arch enemy for the next 5 years.


Also a tie for #3.

3. SSC Ultimate Aero: 257 mph (413 km/h), 0-60 in 2.7 secs. Twin-Turbo V8 Engine with 1183 hp, base price is $654,400.

On March 2011, the Koenigsegg Agera R also surpassed it, forcing this American made car to the #3 spot. Shelby SuperCars will continue their quest to reclaim the fastest car title, and their new SSC Tuatura might do the job (we'll just have to wait).

Top 10 Free Online Blogging Platforms

A blog is a great way to express your thoughts, create a web presence for your company and provide content to Internet users.

If you’re planning to create a blog, but don’t wish to get into the hassles of hosting, developing and deploying it yourself, consider creating a blog at any of the free blogging platforms mentioned below. Such services offer a plethora of features and generally come with both free as well as paid plans.

Let’s look at the top 10 most popular online blog-publishing services.

1.
WordPress.com



 

WordPress.com is perhaps the most feature-rich blogging service out there. It uses the popular open source web software WordPress, and offers many features in its free version — traffic stats, anti-spam filters, SEO, gorgeous themes and more.

If you choose to use WordPress.com, you’ll be in good company, as many popular blogs — including CNN’s Political Ticker, People Magazine’s Style Watch and Flickr — are on this platform.

If you need more than what the free version offers, you can opt for their premium features that include custom domains, upgraded web hosting resources and more.

Whether you’re an expert blogger or a beginner, this ultimate blogging platform is a safe bet.

2.
Blog.com



 

Blog.com is another popular WordPress-powered blogging platform.

Just like other services, it has its own share of pros and cons. For a start, it offers many beautiful premium themes in its free accounts, as well as advanced plugins that one can expect only on a self-hosted blog. However, on the downside, the free service displays more ads as compared to WordPress.com. (But you can opt for paid upgrades to remove the advertisements.)

The free storage space offered on Blog.com is 2GB in the basic plan, which is less compared to 3GB that WordPress.com gives its users.

3.
Blogger



 

Google Blogger is a well-known blogging service that offers many features to its users. For example, Blogger comes with a Template Designer user interface that lets you tweak your blog’s appearance as much as you want. (However, the templates provided are, in my opinion, no match compared to WordPress themes.)

When it comes to ease of use, most beginners prefer Blogger as it offers a no-nonsense interface for administering your blog and top-notch integration with their Google account. Another great thing about Blogger is that it offers certain great features for free that you normally need to pay for in other blog-publishing services, most noteworthy being the ability to set up custom domains without paying a cent.

4.
TypePad Micro



 

TypePad Micro is another free blog-publishing service. The interface is easy to use, and you can import/export content from many other blogging platforms.

However, in terms of add-ons and themes offered, TypePad Micro won’t satisfy even the most basic blogger. The cheapest paid plan begins at $8.95 per month and comes with additional themes, custom domain mapping, as well as technical support.

In an age where almost all blogging services are offering numerous features in their free versions, TypePad Micro seems to be lagging behind.

5.
Jux



 

Jux is an innovative service that lets you easily share content online. Conventionally speaking, it’s not a blogging service like the ones previously mentioned, however, it has a lot of the same functionalities. Rather, Jux lets you create your own microblogging site for sharing your content.

By default, Jux templates don’t have the native sidebars and other widgets that are common to most blogs. Instead, Jux provides a clean (and beautiful) approach to blogging. Simply create an account, and then start sharing your content.

While Jux does seem amazing and has excellent support for mobile devices, it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. For instance, if you’re planning to create a more conventional blog, opting for WordPress might be a better option. On the other hand, if you’re leaning more towards visual content, such as photos and artwork, Jux may just amaze you with its features.

6.
Tumblr



 

Tumblr is a popular and feature-packed microblogging platform. It comes with many outstanding and interesting features such as audio blogging (for sharing your music, for example), free custom domains, hundreds of amazing blogging themes and more.

Furthermore, you can sync your Tumblr account with Facebook and/or Twitter so that you can update your social media feeds in a single location. Yet another awesome feature is the ability to create community-powered group blogs. Tumblr also offers support for many third-party apps such as Google Analytics and Feedburner.

7.
Posterous Spaces



 

Posterous Spaces is an excellent online blog-publishing service that is similar to Tumblr.

Posterous Spaces has excellent privacy and viewing features so that you can easily control who can see what on your Posterous Spaces site. It’s designed to allow its users to post content quickly and as hassle-free as possible, so it has loads of features included to facilitate this, such as free mobile apps for iOS and Android smartphones so you can update your blog on the go and a simple, well-designed user interface.

Using Posterous Spaces means you’ll be in good company; popular tech startups like MailChimp, TweetDeck and Airbnb leverage Posterous as their company blog.

8.
Blogetery



 

Blogetery is a WordPress-powered online blogging service that offers a modest set of features. Free accounts get nearly 140 themes, custom domain mapping and roughly 40 plugins to choose from.

On Blogetery, ads are displayed on all free blogs, but if you wish to upgrade, you can opt for the paid plan that will cost you $3.50 per month and will give you additional themes, plugins, email support, 5GB of additional storage space, the ability to remove ads, etc.

9.
Weebly



 

Weebly offers more than just blogging — it’s a fully featured website builder! Weebly’s blog manager features a drag-and-drop interface, support for image galleries, slideshows, video/audio, maps, etc. Additionally, you can opt for their Designer Platform that lets you build websites for your client, thereby effectively using Weebly as a content management system.

10.
LiveJournal



 

LiveJournal (often abbreviated as LJ) offers blogging with a touch of social networking to it. You can participate in polls, create networks and interact with other LJ users alongside your blog.

With that said, the features, compared to other similar blogging services, are nothing to brag about. Their collection of template is decent, and plugins/extensions are pretty basic in nature.

Other Online Blogging Platforms


  • Here are other blogging platforms that didn’t make our top 10 list that you still may wish to check out:
    Blogsome, freeblogit and Blog Dive are other WordPress-powered blogging platforms.
    Thoughts.com is a service similar to Tumblr and Posterous.
    Blog.co.uk seems to have a wonderful community, but appears to put a lot of ads on your blog.
    MyBlogSite looks interesting but seems to lack in features when compared to other options.
    Aeonity offers free blog hosting but it looks like a dated service.

Conclusion


There are numerous blogging services out there, and choosing a specific one is more of a matter of personal taste and needs.

For the security and success of your blog, I recommend sticking to online blogging services that are well known and reputable.
