The Best Adsense Alternatives for Bloggers – 2016
1. Media.net
If you’re looking for something exactly like Adsense, the Media.net may finish your search. Just similar to Google Adsense, Media.net is also a contextual advertising program for bloggers around the world. By revenue, Media.net runs the #2 largest contextual ads program globally.
However, it’s not that easy to get approved for it. So, only apply if you’re generating good and legal traffic from search engines and publish the quality articles.
I was received invitation from Media.net team for joining their ad program. So, I implemented one ad unit of Media.net ads on only one of the articles of All Useful Info and here’s the screenshot of the report of last 7 days.
2. Superlinks
Unlike Adsense, Superlinks is not a contextual advertising program but still it can be proven a best alternative to Google Adsense because of its high quality different kind of ads such as super display ads, super tower, super footer etc.
Its Super Exit Links ad campaign can be a good choice for those who add lots of external links to their site and have high bounce rate. Having a high Bounce rate is though a bad thing for any site but with the help of Superlinks, you can turn this weakness into strength by earning money with the exit links.
The minimum payout of Superlinks is $100 that can be received via PayPal, Payoneer or Wire Transfer. To sign up for Superlinks, your blog needs to have a minimum traffic of 100,000 visitors per month.

[Update: It Has Shutdown]
Similarly to Google Adsense, Chitika is a CPC advertising program helping publishers worldwide to monetize their content. One of the best things about Chitika is that you can highly customize your ad units including text color, URL color, font, and more.
Moreover, Chitika has very low payment threshold for releasing your payment. If you select payout settings via PayPal, then $10 is the minimum threshold and if you choose payout via check, then you will have to reach to $50 for releasing your payment.

6. BidVertiser
BidVertiser is another leading alternative to Google Adsense that pays publishers around the world for the clicks and conversions. You simply need to display ads on your website and lets the advertisers bid against each other.
BidVertiser gives you a simple point-and-click tool to help you customize the layout of the ads to fit your site’s look and feel, in order to retain the high quality of your website.
The best thing about BidVertiser that I like a lot is that it lets you monitor your ads performance very openly, including the number of page impressions, clicks, click-through rate, and the total amount you’ve earned so that you can improve your ad performance to the next level.
BidVertiser payments are sent via check or PayPal on a monthly basis within 30 days after the end of each calendar month. Another best thing is that it’s minimum payment threshold is very low i.e only $10.

For VigLink Convert and VigLink Anywhere, where you can automatically monetize existing links, they pay publishers 75% of the gross earnings. With VigLink Insert, where VigLink automatically insert new links that didn’t exist before, you can earn an extra amount of money.
VigLink runs both kind of methodologies while calculating your money earned – CPA (Cost Per Action or Sale)and CPC (Cost Per Click). Payments from VigLink are made through PayPal at the end of each month.
8. Infolinks
Infolinks is also commonly popular as the best Adsense alternative. Its way of presenting ads is different from Adsense, however both are contextual. Infolinks insert the outbound links to the text on your website and makes then clickable.
Infolinks offer diffent ad products to implement ads on your website including InFrame, InFold, InTag and InText. The best thing is that you can try all of these products on its homepage before you sign up.

Since Adsense is no longer as profitable as it used to, it is inevitable that bloggers will find other means that will generate them profit. Actually, I never really thought that they were this many. I’ve personally tried Infolinks and Kontera and they do in fact are capable of generating more revenue as compared to Adsense.
Very useful post. Thank you so much for sharing. Actually I have heard about clicksor but I haven’t ever tried the others yet.. but i agree with you that recently Google AdSense is becoming stricter. It is necessary for us to find another ways to survive in making money online.
Google Adsense is always the best of all. So, I think if you’re using it, you should not think of alternatives. Just try to maintain your blog’s quality.
its a great for me reading your blog. enterforearn(.)com this is my website. please suggest me best ads network.
@abhishek, you can use infolink or ads optimal for your blog.
hi
can you please suggest some ad networks besides google adsense that pays good rate for indian traffic.
thanks.
Sam, I appreciate your feedback. You’re right Tribal Fusion is honestly a great option for high traffic sites.
In case of media.net, I’m till now making hundreds of dollars from their ads by delevering only a few impressions.
I shared my story in This Post about how I made $935 from media.net ads. You must read this post. This is for all those who say media.net is a bad Adsense alternative.
According to the list and my knowledge media dot net is not a good option in India as they are not providing a good return while chitika is better than media dot net ya infolinks are good but Adsense is far away from these. If you have decent traffic than you can move to tribal fusion which is also a excellent option.
Hey Sam, it really meant a lot for us to know your feedback.

Hey Ron Bray, I’m really sad to know that your Adsense account got suspended. But, I’m sure you will find a best alternative from the above list in this article.
thanks for the information. very useful in my case since my account got suspended for unknown reasons. Adsense simply sent me a generic email informing me that my account got suspended because i violated a policy that they cannot specify.
Really Aniket, You’re absolutely right 🙂
they banned me from adsense and I signed up goomito marketing now they pay me 800 per month I’m happy ..
