Does your Google Adsense account have been banned? You are worried and do not know where to start now. You think you are alone and have lost your money and time. It is a loss, but it does not mean you have lost everything. Still, you have ways to earn from your websites.

Google AdSense is a good platform if your site brings handsome traffic to your site. But it would not be a good source when your visits are not more than lets say around thousands visits/users a day.

If your site is banned because of high AdSense quality standards or for any other reason on, then you should try other AdSense alternatives, which can help you increase the profit. Because your site is still working, you spent probably couple years building it and some traffic is still coming to your site, which means visitors want your content to read and you are still possible earn some money. So, instead of being sad because Adsense banned you, it is better to shift to other paying sources and try your luck there.

Please note: You can also in case your Adsense account wasnt disabled run all other Adsense alternatives and their ad formats on the same page with AdSense. Adsense ad scripts are fully compatible with other ad networks.

According to Ad placement policies of Adsense, Google allows publishers to place up to 3 pop-ups per website with their ads. They should not interfere with site navigation, change user preferences, initiate downloads, etc. So in case you put them in the correct place, you are safe.

Top AdSense alternatives

Here is the list of top few AdSense alternatives that will prove legitimate platforms for your AdSense banned sites or accounts.

1.     Infolinks

If you have long blogs on your sites, then Infolinks can be the best platform to get some payout. You can earn a minimum of 50 USD payout from this source.

Info link also has a system to monitor your activities to maintain their quality standards. If you violate their rules, you will be rejected by them. So be familiarized with their policy. Once you have collected dollars in your account, you can withdraw through Payoneer, wire transfer, or PayPal.

Infolinks is a global advertising platform for publishers and advertisers. It has named its advertising platform In³ which stands for Infolinks, Intent, and Intelligence. In³ technology powers the third-largest publisher marketplace in the world, supporting 350,000 websites in 128 countries.

Infolinks claims to offer innovative ad solutions to publishers while keeping the look and feel of their websites intact. The company mostly focuses on contextually relevant ads.

Placements and layouts offered by Infolinks are known to avoid banner blindness – a user behavior that drastically takes down ad performance. Its in-house algorithm is designed to match advertisers with the right audience while maintaining optimal profit for publishers.

Infolinks services are open to all kinds of publishers irrespective of their website business size. The company takes pride in its effortless integration process with no setup fees. Its policies are quite straightforward and don’t allow illegal, offensive, and adult content.

Infolinks is completely AdSense compatible. For better monetization, publishers can even partner up with other ad networks—if that doesn’t interfere with their policies.

Types of ad formats offered by Infolinks:

InFold: This ad only targets the search traffic and shows users footer-sticky ads. InFold ads are SEO-friendly, as ads are delivered pertaining to what user came looking for via search engine.

InFrame: These are skyscraper ads appearing on either edge of wide screen devices. The content remains at the center of the screen while InFrame ads continue to offer ad impressions without disturbing the site layout.

InArticle: These are user-initiated expandable ads. It waits for users to start engaging with the content and expands at the right time for maximum engagement. Display, video, and native formats can be used for InArticle ads.

InText: Ads are placed carefully between content matching the best keyword and maintaining relevance. Publishers are allowed to change the size and volume of InText ads.

InScreen: These are interstitial ads that appear on the full page. These ad formats primarily work as an ‘intermission’ as the user moves on to view different pages.

InTop: This ad format is specifically for mobiles. The ad remains in view even if the user scrolls down the page.

Pros

• AdSense compatibility: As mentioned, Infolinks works fine for publishers using AdSense. It doesn’t interfere with the ad units set by AdSense, working as a perfect combination to generate maximum revenue.
• Contextual ads: Contextual targeting uses the website niche to find advertisers. This targeting method doesn’t require the user’s cookie data to show them relevant ads. This ensures the security of users’ data coming in via publisher’s website saving publishers from the trouble of working on solutions that protect user privacy.
• Quick approval: Infolinks has a quick approval span. It takes not more than 48 hours to assess whether the publisher’s website meets the minimum requirements. Given the fact that it has no requirements for traffic, it creates a perfect opportunity for small publishers to get started with their services without having to wait for long.

Cons

• Low income for non-tier 1 traffic: Most advertisers want to show their ads to users living in tier 1 countries with a good economy. Infolinks marketplace is no different, making it hard for publishers to make good numbers with traffic from developing countries.
• Some ad formats can be intrusive: Better Ads Standards suggest sticky ads are intrusive when used on mobile devices. Publishers using InFold format—a sticky format—can cause damage to publisher reputation in the marketplace. For that matter, publishers need to be careful about the ad units they are placing on their desktop and mobile sites.

2.     Media.net

After AdSense, Media.net is considered the most respectable earning source. It is backed by Bing and Yahoo, which can bring a handsome payout for you. You need only two days to get approval on media.net. Despite its recent growth, Media.net is still behind Google Adsense in all market share segments. You can check the comparison of these tools in here in terms of data or here, which will give you little overview in which areas Media.net is better.

First of all – compared to Adsense, Media net has a lot of features that give this ad network an added edge. With advanced ad optimization functionality, Media.net advertisements are contextually relevant.

When used on niche websites, click-through rates often increase and drive more traffic than other networks, which is very good. One of the pros of Media.net is that it sometimes does work better than AdSense  in terms of revenue.

Just quickly to remind – if AdSense is used to display content advertisements, the publishers receive 68% of the revenue. If the network is primarily used for search, then the publishers get 51%. The rest of the share is kept by Google in recognition of the service provided. The percentage of revenue that Media.net shares with the publishers is unknown, as of now. But in general – it it can sometimes outperform Adsense.

So after the approval of your site, you get a flood of lucrative text and banner ads on your site. So, it can be the best picky platform for you to earn. The downside of this platform is that its minimum payout is 100 USD. The Media.net publishing platform offers payment methods via PayPal and wire transfer + Payoneer. It pays its publishers every 30 days. It is every 7 days for large publishers. The minimum payout threshold is 100 USD as was mentioned above. That means you can withdraw money only once you’ve got that amount in your account. Both Google AdSense and Media.net are entirely consistent in their payments, and there isn’t any negative feedback for the same.

AdSense does not pose any minimum traffic requirement for you to become a publisher. The only condition is that you need to be frequently posting substantial content related to the advertisements on your website. Also, for many publishers across Asia, there needs to be sufficient content before you can apply for AdSense or your application might get rejected due to “insufficient content”.

Since Media.net stresses mostly on the traffic coming from the USA and UK, they show high-quality advertisements for them. For the traffic that comes from other countries, the ads are not contextually well targeted. Media.net runs on a hybrid model which is a mix of CPC, CPM, CPA etc. and their contextual text ads work on double-click. So, publishers will only earn if the second click is made by the visitor, which lets him land to the advertiser website. The popular ad formats include display banners and mobile sticky units.

Media.net is run on many top publisher sites around the world like New York Times, Elle, Reuters, Forbes, and Cosmopolitan. The network provides a dedicated support manager to every publisher and is extremely customer supportive.

Also, since Media.net is a platform for the contextual ad network, you’ll see zero earnings if the keywords of your content do not match with those required by the advertisers. Under those case, it is recommended that you drop the ads from media.net account.

Pros

• No page-level reporting – the biggest con is that they have no page-level reporting. This is quite an annoyance when you’re trying to optimize your design for clicks.In Media.net, you’re not able to go in and see which pages are bringing in the most money from your ad clicks. That’s a big problem because if you want to know what your top 10 revenue-generating pages are to optimize them, you don’t have the ability to do so.
• Media.net does not mention a specific minimum number of page views required to get approval into the network. However, the published content needs to be in English, and the traffic should be primarily from the USA, UK, and Canada. Since most of the advertiser base is from the US, publishers having good US traffic can earn from Media.net alongside AdSense.
• You will get support/account representative – the nice thing about Media.net is that you get an account representative or key account to help you optimize your website as soon as you sign up with them, which is really unique. I don’t know of many display ad networks that do that and I know that Google Adsense certainly doesn’t. The bad thing is not all of them are in the company for a long period of time, so support is there, but sometimes it is not too helpfull to be honest. I’ve gone through four different account reps. Although they do give you an account rep and they can be good, they can also be bad. People have different experiences with that. But the churn on the account reps, from what I’ve noticed, has been pretty high.There hasn’t been an account rep that’s been with me for more than a year and a half. It’s almost like they come in and they go out. Usually, these are individuals who are in other countries, which isn’t ideal. It’s been a little difficult to establish a relationship because I’ve seen that there’s been a lot of churn and every time someone new comes in, I expect them to leave within a year or so. But in general – Media.net will assign you someone who is there to try to help you make the most money, which is really refreshing. If you ever tried to contact Google or Adsense support, you know how difficult it is sometimes to get even at least some answer (in most of the situations you will not get any response at all).
• Very contextual ads – ads on Media.net are really much more different than what you can see in other ad networks (including Adsense).  Their ads are highly relevant to what the individual is reading and thus this can help you very dramatically in increase the click-through rate. They’re all super contextual, look nice, and fit right into the website design. The thing to understand about Media.net is that even if it doesn’t pay as much as Google AdSense, the click-through rate to these ads is usually higher because they’re contextual and fit the design of the sites. These things matter and actually can be a big win because of those increased CTR’s.
• More transparency account acceptance and issues – the last pro of Media.net is the fact that I feel like you get more transparency from them. If you get shut down to join their network, they will tell you why that is. I know a lot of people who have been on Google AdSense probably wish that they could talk to an account manager; I know I do at certain times. While Media.net has a lot of pros, they also have a some of cons.
• Media.net is testing new ideas together with advertisers –  another good thing about Media.net is that they will contact you very frequently about trying to test new things (in Google Adsense you can see some automatic experiments, you can do your own, but nobody from Google will contact you regarding doing individual test just for your websites/niche.

3.     PropellerAds

If you have a site that shows video game trailers or movies, then PropellerAds can be a good earning source for you. The company claims that it is the highest CPM rates in the market. Pop-under ads are similar to pop-up ads but load when the window is closed.

There is no minimum site traffic threshold or waiting time for approval; it just registers and accesses the service. But the downside is that you need a minimum of 50 USD for PayPal and 100 USD for Payoneer and 500 for wire transfer. The good thing is – the payment can be done every single week (on Thursday) in case you. You can find more info also here.

The good thing is they accept every website. So they are not strict as Google or Media.net where publishers’ websites must follow the service’s guidelines as well as the webmaster’s guidelines.

Although to even consider to add your site and expect some good revenue – most of your traffic simply also must come from English-speaking countries.

Pros

• PropellerAds shares 80% of its ad revenue with publishers. But don’t compare two advertisers based on their revenue share alone, as there really matters the real size of the ad inventory. An advertiser with a huge ad margin can easily outperform the CPM of a small ad network, dividing revenue by as little as 50%.
• Also it has real time stats as well as Google Adsense.
• Several payment methods – PropellerAds supports the following payment methods: Bank Transfer, Payoneer, Webmoney, and prepaid cards.
• The minimum payment amount is 500 USD for wire transfers and 100 USD for all other payment methods, and is based on 30 net conditions. That is, if your total earnings at the end of January are 300 USD, then you will be paid in the first week of March. But in case you are eligible for payment (got to these 500 USD for example, they send payment every week).
• PropellerAds accepts all websites regardless of their traffic, as long as it does not violate their terms and conditions.
• It generates maximum CPM for entertainment sites (including downloads, music, movies, viral blogs, etc.).
• Good and interesting referal system. As a publisher, you can refer other publishers to PropellerAds advertisements and earn 5% of his/her future ad revenue – for life.
• You can even monetize your 404 pages with full screen ads. No more wasted traffic.
• You can run PropellerAds alongside ads from other ad or affiliate networks like Adsense, Infolinks, CJ, etc.
• If you’re a new publisher looking for some kind of personal assistance, then you get direct one-to-one support via email or Skype. Plus, if you have a high traffic site, then you get a dedicated account manager to help you optimize your traffic.

Cons

• Poor user experience. Your visitors can find full-screen ads, pop-up ads, push ads, and more.
• Don’t support PayPal payments. This is a really big twist because even almost all of the best Adsense alternatives support PayPal.
• Again, the minimum payout is also on the higher side. And I guess that’s because they don’t support PayPal payments.
• The most effective ad units are not traditional banners or mobile ads – these are pop-under ads and full-page ads. But users (including me) hate it. However, if you have a high traffic file sharing website or download website, perhaps even a forum, then pop-under ads might be the right choice.
• It us true that PropellerAds accepts all sorts of publisher sites (unless it meets their terms), but it looks like if you want to make a solid income, then you need either a high traffic site or a high quality traffic site.
• If your traffic quality is low (meaning you are getting little traffic from the US, UK, and Europe), then PropellerAds may not be the right choice if you don’t want to try pop-under ads, full-page ads, etc.
• PropellerAds also takes conversions into account when calculating CPM. The CPM network must pay a fixed income for every 1000 page views regardless of conversions. But PropellerAds offers advertisers more payment models such as CPC (Cost Per Click) and CPA (Cost Per Action). Thus, your final earnings also depend on the type of ad inventory.
• Your CPM can be extremely low if the traffic quality is low. Of course, AdSense also pays little for low-quality traffic, but with PropellerAds, things are much worse. Here’s a screenshot of a popular Spanish tech blog that isn’t getting any meaningful traffic from English speaking countries. Its CPM with Google AdSense was around 0.20 USD, but as you can see, PropellerAds banner ads don’t even generate a 0.05 USD CPM.

4.     BuySellAds

BuySellAds is the best paying platform, even better than Google AdSense. You will get 75 cents of each dollar generated on your site from Ads. Its minimum payout is only 20 dollars with PayPal and 50 dollars by check.

The downside is that you can only get approval if your site receives a minimum of 100,000 page views per month; otherwise, you will be rejected. Another drawback is that it only admits English-language sites.

5.     BidVertiser

BidVertiser is an excellent platform where you can start instant income. Just register and get instant approval. It is a unique network that works on a bidding system. You can get the higher bidders to earn the maximum from ads.

Their minimum Payout is 10 USD via Payza or PayPal.The downside of the Bidvertiser is that you can potentially languish through the period of low ad revenue while expecting the higher bidders.

6.     VigLink

VigLink is an attractive platform where you can earn 25 to 50 percent of ad revenue. It transforms the existing links on your sites, and if these links lead by clicking and product are purchased, you will get revenue. It is affiliate advertising or cost per acquisition earn platform.

It can be the best platform for the rejected sites from other networks. There is no minimum payout or traffic limit, but the downside is that it only supports PayPal.

7.     Adsterra

AdsTerra can generate some income for you by banner and pop-under ads. It offers the payouts in Bitcoin; it can benefit you by fluctuating rates of Bitcoin.

9. Amazon Advertising

Amazon Advertising is also the best option for your Google AdSense website. You can get a bunch of ads on your sites that offer you better CPM. The downside is that its minimum payout is 100 USD, which you will get through Payoneer or a check that may take a couple of weeks to deposit.
