What are the best Google adsense alternatives?

Header bidding. You sign up with a number of popular bidders (OpenX, AppNexus, Rubicon, AOL, Criteo, Sovrn, etc), and they all bid against each other in real-time. You then relay that bid to AdX/AdSense, and Google attempts to outbid that offer. Then, you display the ad from the highest bidder. This happens for every single ad impression.

Overall, this usually provides a 30%+ increase in revenue over running just AdSense.

I read this quite recently as I was asking the same question.

I wouldn't say its better, but I think I rake in an average of about $115 a year from running ads on my site. Of course, it all depends on your traffic, and they only payout in $100 increments.

I would add that they have an approval process, unlike AdSense that allows anybody to sign up and put ads on their site.

Selling something of your own that is related to the content that you provide.

You'll get a bigger cut and have more control.

If you connect your audience to relevant affiliate offers it has higher payback and is a better user experience. You should be able to get $200 eCPM+ with any level of engaged user (western desktop traffic), something your unlikely to get even close to on Adsense.

Affiliate offers.

CJ, LinkShare, Share-a-Sale.

PPC is the easiest way to add monetization to your site and the least lucrative.

Ezoic.com and taboola.com for the good cpm rates.

Tnx to all :)
