Best Google Adsense Alternatives For Blogs
In this article, we will inform you about the alternatives of Google AdSense. It is not necessary that these alternatives mentioned below be better than Google AdSense but depending on your blogging niche and the amount of traffic that visits your site, some of these Google AdSense alternative programs can give you better and higher results as well as earnings.
By now, you must be aware that Google AdSense is a contextual advertisement networking program. But it is possible that some of the alternatives that are mentioned below are not contextual ad networking programs. For instance, BuySellAds is a direct advertisement platform and Infolinks is an in-text link program, whereas Viglink turns your outbound links into affiliated links.
Here are those alternatives to Google AdSense that you can choose from:

Media.net

Media.net provides the best alternative to Google AdSense in terms of the types of ads displayed.
Media.net is a contextual ad networking program initiated by Yahoo! and Bing. Along with offering high-paying ads, the ad types involved in Media.net are very much similar to ad types in Google AdSense. Moreover, if you have a quality blog, then you might be able to get Media.net approval in very less time.

Amazon Display Ads

It must be surprising for you to see an Amazon advertisement program listed as a Google AdSense alternative. But, in 2017 this has become one of the most popular choices among the bloggers for site monetization.
It was only recently that there was just Amazon Affiliate program, but with the addition of Amazon Native Shopping Ads & CPM based ads, Amazon Display Ads provide a great choice for its users who are looking for something other than just AdSense.
According to us, the Amazon display program is very much apt for those bloggers who get US & EU traffic on their sites.

Infolinks

Infolinks is an in-text linking ad networking that provides a profitable blog for monetization network for many publishers.
Infolinks offers different types of advertisements that you can place on your blog, but the most popular type of advertisement is an in-text ad unit that is closely followed by an in-frame ad unit.
Infolinks does not offer any contextual ads like Google AdSense, but Infolinks is highly recommended as an alternative to AdSense.
You can use other ad networks along with it to increase the revenue from your blog.
Signing up for Infolinks is very easy to do. Infolinks also have a low minimum payment threshold.

Adversal

Adversal has the features that are similar to the features of Superlinks, but you need to have monthly page-view of 50,000 to apply with Adversal.
The minimum payout threshold is $20 for Adversal, you get paid at the end of the month after 35 days.
The payment modes applicable in Adversal are PayPal, wire transfer, and ACH. It takes at least 3 to 4 days to get your application approved.
It is suggested that you apply for both Superlinks and Adversal simultaneously. Though Superlinks ads pay more money, it is always better to have another alternative option.

Chitika

Chitika is a CPC (cost per click) product-oriented program.
Chitika is a good alternative to Google AdSense for mainly two reasons:
The first reason is that it always applies only the relevant ads based on the content of your site. This helps you in getting more clicks.
The second reason is that you are allowed to edit the text color, the URL color, and the border color according to your choice so that the ads blend in with the format of your blog.
With Chitika, you are also allowed to use their referral program which can help you in earning some extra income.

Viglink

Viglink is the perfect alternative to Google AdSense for a blog that links out to a business or an e-commerce site.
The working concept of Viglink is a bit different from all the other alternatives mentioned in this article. This is because in Viglink you earn money by making the affiliate sales of the products.
Viglink works the best when you have the links that are outgoing to business or product pages such as some fashion store or websites such as Amazon.
In case you do not have outbound links, Viglink will automatically add links to your words if you are using terms related to money such as Apple, iPhone etc. This will help you make a pretty decent amount of money.
The best thing about Viglink is that it is incubated by Google and is a programmed that is very friendly to SEO ad program.

Skimlinks

Skimlinks provides the best alternative to Viglink and the working principle of Skimlinks is very much similar to that of Viglink. Skimlinks converts your links that are outbound into affiliate links, and through this, you can earn money easily whenever you sell a product.
It is very much possible that you might end up making ten times more of your existing earnings with Viglink and Skimlinks. This is because these programs pay for affiliate sales and not for clicks.
Conclusion:
So, these are some of the best and the most popular alternatives to Google AdSense. However, there are many other alternatives available and you can choose any of these alternatives according to your requirement. It is advised that you use a combination of any two or more ad networks to earn as much as possible.
