My 2 Top Alternative To Google Adsense

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or the No-Hype, No-BS, No Spam MAT newsletter.. Thanks for visiting!

I ran into this question today while looking at the latest news of the day. 

What are some alternatives to Google Adsense? 

If anyone has any better ideas please add to the comments section.  I would love to see how others are making out.

Personally, I don’t know if your going to get anything better than adsense at the moment.  But their are a few alternatives out their that I use.

1. shoppingads.com - If you have a high traffic site this alternative may give you a higher payout than adsense.  One thing, the ads have to be highly visiable like in the top left of articles to have this to work for you.  Also, high traffic sites get a better deal from them.. They evaluate the sites that enter their program and if the site does not produce traffic they will doc the site and only give a return if someone buys something after clicking through their links.  Higher traffic sites will get a click through rate that pays per click.

2. Kontera - I love kontera’s program.  Right now kontera in conjunction with adsense has increase  my return on a few of my sites 2% to 5% depending on the traffic..  Their program is based on the same click model as adsense.  But they don’t provide banners or kontera boxes.  Their code will look at your site and turn keywords into links that redirect to paying customers in thier system.  Their payout is consistant and with the right model you can make a lot of money with them.

These are two of my best alternatives.

And their is alway yahoo..  But their program is a little harder to get involved in. 

What do you think?  Do you have any better alternatives to speak of?

Google Adsense Reporting System Having Issues

Google ImageGoogle Adsense reporting system has been down sinse the wee hours of the morning with no word as to when the system will be back up.  Countless amounts of inquires have been made on Google Adsense message boards as well as in their customer reporting system.  The only message thus far that has been returned is that their engineers are aware of the issue and are investigating it. 

Their has been no mention as to if the system is still counting impressions or if the system is recoverable or not. 

To be down for so long I question what is going on?  Is this a major outage that will have major consequences.  We have yet to find out the answer to this…

Till then we all keep our fingers crossed hoping for the best….  :-(
