Getting an approved Adsense account for a new blog these days can really be frustrating, especially for new entrants into the blogosphere. 🙁
You would for sure agree with me that solely depending on Adsense in blog monetizing is tantamount to throwing all your precious eggs into one basket, as a little error on your path would definitely lead to a ban.
If you wish to go into full-time blogging and of course wish to make money online, you should start considering a multiple stream of earning money with your blog. In this article, I’ll give you 5 Adsense Alternatives of which I have tried myself and was paid into either my Paypal, Payoneer MasterCard, through cheque or Bank-Wire Transfer. Here is an amazing list below.
Top 5 Adsense Alternatives
1. Infolinks
Infolinks is a text based advertising network that requires you to simply place their code on your website, then keywords would be highlighted, and once clicked by your visitors, you get paid for it. Their Payout is just $50. You can get paid through PayPal or via Pioneer MasterCard. I’ve been paid severally from this network using my Pioneer MasterCard. Though I stopped using it on this blog because it increases my bounce rate, I still use it on my other blogs.
2. Chitika
Chitika is another great Adsense alternative I use on my blogs, excepting this blog. Their payout threshold for Paypal is just $10, and if you choose Cheque as your payout option, your payout threshold would be $50. This is a great Adsense alternative, you can join by Clicking Here.
3. Addynamo
This a new Ad publishing and advertising network that accepts any website, even with the lowest form of traffic. One thing that amazes me about them is, I have not heard of someone been placed on a ban by this network. They have a Paid Tweet program where you get paid to tweet an Advert. I tried them out on my Tech Forum, and it turned out to be great as I was payed.
4. Media.net
This is an Ad publishing network owned by Yahoo, Bing and Microsoft, and tends to pose a great threat to Adsense. Their payout is $100 just like Adsense and they pay via Cheque and Paypal. I haven’t tried them yet, cos I applied sometime last year, but was declined acceptance. I think sometime in the nearest future, I would re-submit an application.
Update 17th March 2015: I was accepted into the Media.net program around May 2013 and have been receiving payments directly into my Nigerian bank account. I’m even expecting my next payment on the 1st of next month.
5. Konga.com
I decided to try a little affiliate marketing stuff for my smartphone reviews on this blog. As a result, I linked from some smartphone specs reviews I made to Konga.com and was able to record sales. In about one month from just a few posts, I reached payout and was payed directly into my bank account. You can read the full post on how I was payed by Konga. You too might want to try them out.
These are all great Adsense Alternative programs that help make your blogging career a success by paying you for clicks and impressions of adverts placed on your blog. You too can make money blogging using these programs.

Hi Sandhu,
It seems you are not getting enough traffic to your blog and that’s the reason you earn less. Try to work on improving your blogs traffic. You can read articles in my Traffic category on this blog to guide you through.

with the help of your this post i have also applied for infolinks
I’m glad I could help. Thanks for coming by.
Hey Oscar !!!
Adsense is the great contextual Ad network though, but one should not rely only on Adsense. Your listing of these Four network is admirable. I am also using Infolinks on my blog.
Thanks for sharing the experience
You are right Ravi. BTW, thanks for coming by.
Nice list Oscar, AdSense is very desperat when it comes to banning any account due to illegal act and before that, one must sort for other means to replace adsense in an imaginary world in case there is sudden attack from adsense
Hi, you should remove Addynamo because it’s scam. Try to Google for it. It’s not a good idea to promote scam site.
Hi Maz,
I actually would not promote what hasn’t worked for. Though Addynamo has a very low CPC, I’ve actually received payments from them in the past. I hope you do understand the reason I had to let them into the list.
Hello all, I want introduce this ad network: Adtomatik. I highly recommend it because I’m using it for the last three months and got very good results, highest fill rates and better ecpm than others ad networks.?
Media.net all the way
