Qadabra minimum payout: $1 for paypal, $20 for Payoneer prepaid card and $500 for Wire transfer
2) CHITIKA
Chitika is one of the first things that come to mind when you are looking for great contextual ads that can act as AdSense alternative. You are paid by a CPC basis. Chitika is more favorable for the users that have major traffic from the US and UK or Canada etc. countries. Because of a bit not so standard type ad placement Chitika has been still under scrutiny. Publishers, i.e., can apply for the silver level or gold level to earn greater revenue share.
Chitika minimum payout: 10$ for paypal and 50$ for check payments.
3) YAHOO BING NETWORK OR THE MEDIA.NET ADS:
Media.net is a subsidiary of Yahoo and Bing’s partnership and is the best and most able match for AdSense. Major Websites use Meid.net which is currently on beta state with invite only sign up. However if your site is eligible, i.e. receives a high traffic you can apply for it and wait for its approval.
Minimum Payout: 100$ via check or NEFT:
4) BUY SELL ADS:
Buy sell ads is the king of the revenue program where selling ad spaces on your site is considered. They are really tough for approval and don’t easily accept low traffic sites. They pay huge with good publishers for placing ads on your site but the downside is that they eat up a major chunk of your earnings. They share the revenue in the 3:1 ratio with you having 75%.
5) SUPERLINKS:
Super links is relatively new and one of the most heavily growing networks. It allows publishers that have been banned from the AdSense program hence you stand a good chance of getting approved. If your site has a good earning potential then you can use it to earn huge money which would have been impossible without AdSense.
Try superlinks for a good revenue income of you really want something to try without AdSense.
Minimum payout: 100$ via paypal or via NEFT.
6) TEXT LINK ADS:
Do you have a good ranking site. By ranking I mean a site with good PR, or alexa. If your site has a good social media following without the PR too then you can be easily sleeping in money selling text ads from your site. Selling text ads can be a god thing as far as all is well.
They offer to pay you to give them links. But beware this is a crime in terms of Google. Your site can get banned if you don’t look at the SEO and only give out bound links in order to get more money.
Having said that I also would like to add that your site can earn 1000s if not millions if you know what is your limits in selling ads. They pay you via check, paypal or TLA vouchers,
Minimum payout: 25$
7) INFOLINKS:
Infolinks is widely popular among bloggers and publishers. Reason: they perform well without eating away your blog estate. Infolinks basically uses some text on your blog to place some relevant ads on your blog. The text appears to be a link and whenever a user uses the link you can see the ad and get paid.
Minimum payout is: 50$ via paypal or 100$ for banks payment
8) PULSE POINT:
Pulse point is a good advertising program that works well both as a Google AdSense alternative and as a partner with Google AdSense. They nearly transact about 3 billion real time ad transactions every day. That shows only quality publishers might stand a chance to getting approved.
9) KONTERA ADS:
Kontera ads are the best ads for text linking and if you do not have space for banner ads. Kontera is used just like infolinks. Both have the same concept.
Kontera does offer images and video ads in case you are interested to experiment something more on your site.
Minimum payout: 50$ via check, paypal
10) CLICKSOR:
Click sor is the third ad that offers similar ad types as infolinks and kontera. You can try either of them and you won’t be disappointed.
Minimum payout: 50$
11) VIGLINK:
Viglink is not new but the fact that very few know about it is really sad. Viglinks take the extra labor out of your head of adding and sighing up to different affiliate’s networks. It will automatically add your outbound links to sites from words link apple or flipkart as an affiliate link so that whenever readers buy something from those places you get a commission.
This can be a great savior in case you forgot to add your affiliate link to the product and this will automatically convert them to a link.
12) ADENGAGE:
Ad engage is a good AdSense alternative and worth a try. You can earn great money with ad engage in case you have a minimum of 1000 impressions per day which is not too high. The interesting factor is that you can use it to monetize an adult site too. They pay with cheque, paypal or wire transfer.
Minimum payout: 50$
13) REVENUE HITS:
If you are bored of the regular CPC ad networks that pay you via clicks and instead want to earn huge with performance based ads like CPA or cost per action ads then revenue hits is your thing. This has been the best contender to Google AdSense in terms of CPA costs and payouts in certain niches like health and lifestyle you got to earn more when users perform some functions on your site with clicking the ad network.
Revenue Hits might require some time to get acquainted with your site reader’s behaviors and so I suggest you to leave it intact for a few days and see the change it brings in your earnings. It offers a variety of ad Medias like banner ads, sliders, pop under and even buttons indicating a call to action.
14) ADVERSAL:
As a Google AdSense competitor adversal has similar functions just like Chitika. Unlike Chitika adversal has a great CTR or click through rate and also it is being used along with other languages which Chitika doesn’t support. Adversal requires users to have a minimum 50000 views per month but as you know it pays really very well. I know website owners that earn anywhere between 500-1000$ via adversal ad monetization programs.
Minimum payout: 20$
15) BIDVERTISER:
Bidvertiser is a good alternative to use when your AdSense is banned or disabled. You get to shows ads with higher bids on your website. They pay well in the CPC format and pay via cheque, paypal and Wire transfer.
Minimum payout: 10$

Hi Jyoti,
Excellent post on Google Adsense alternatives. Truly speaking there are hundreds of ways to make money online nowadays. So even if someone is banned from AdSense, it shouldn’t really matter much. According to me; people should understand that AdSense is not the only way to earn online. But there are lots of other creative ways to generate income.
Speaking of myself, i have never liked AdSense and never used them on my blog till now. I am more into affiliate marketing and i believe that this is more powerful than Google Adsense and has the potential to even change your life. But with AdSense, that’s a far cry without huge number of targeted visitors.
By the way, your article will definitely help anyone looking for alternative options.
You have a wonderful day, Jyoti. Keep up the good work.

Google Adsense has always been a favorite among bloggers. However, there are now a lot of alternatives in the market. One of the reasons most bloggers are also choosing other alternatives is because of their strict terms and conditions. Once you get banned from Google Adsense, it’s for life.
The other alternatives also provide alternative sources of income. Sometimes, bloggers use multiple ad networks to monetize their site. It helps in bringing in some extra money.
Thanks for sharing these great alternatives.
Hi Jyoti,
Excellent article. I use Adsense now and I was not familiar with very many of the alternatives you mentioned. Chitika I have seen a lot and I have used Bidvertiser not for ads on my site but by promoting products in their system.
I have mixed feeling about text or info links. Some of the site that obviously have them seem to be so spammy with many words linked to an ad. I don’t know if one has any control about how many links can be added to a post but there should be a limit if you don’t want to annoy your readers.
Thank you for this golden nugget.
Hi Dita,
I am glad you found something interesting here, keep visiting!
Most bloggers in my opinion, are too much dependent on Google Adsense. Some of them believe that it’s the only way to make money online. In fact, the opposite is true.
There are hundreds of ways to make money online. In most cases, the other sources can get you more money than others. However, some of the bloggers actually avoid using Google Adsense because they have a lot of rules. If you get banned once, you are banned for life.
