Top 15 High Paying Google AdSense Alternatives

1. Media.net

Media.net is one of the best alternatives for AdSense. It is a contextual ad network, powered by Yahoo and Bing. It enables publishers to earn money from advertising revenue.

It offers customized ad units that fit with your site look. It also shows ads to the mobile phone and tablet users.
Currently, this network is not opened for public sign up. But you can request for an invitation.

2. Bidvertiser

Bidvertiser is a pay per click advertising site that could be a great AdSense alternative if you didn’t get Adsense approval or got banned. The way it works is a little bit different from Adsense. While Adsense shows ads based on context or visitor’s interest, it creates a bidding system that allows the highest bidder to advertise on your blog. Initially, you won’t be able to earn much revenue as it takes some time to get your site found by Highest bidders. So stay longer.

Bidvertiser offers Text ads, Banner ads, Mobile Ads, Slider ads etc. You can also make money by promoting your customized toolbar. Minimum payment amount is $10 for PayPal/Payza and $50 for check. Read: How to Make Money With Bidvertiser

3. Infolinks

Infolinks is a bit different from other advertising networks. It’s a in-text advertising program. It doesn’t take too many spaces of your site to show ads. It shows in text ads or pop-up ads. You can use it with AdSense safely.

Infolinks offer 4 types of ads – InFold, InText, InTag, and InFrame. All of them are designed to overcome banner blindness. Minimum payment threshold of $50 for Paypal or $100 for Bank wire.

4. Amazon Native Ads

Amazon has the world’s largest affiliate program. But do you know that it also has an advertising program?
Yes, it is called Amazon Native Shopping Ads. It can be a potential AdSense alternative if you are getting US traffic on your blog. It has three types of Ads – Recommendation Ads, Search Ads and Custom Ads. It provides highly relevant product ads in a responsive ad unit that can be placed anywhere in your blog/site. It shows ads based on your selected categories and your blog contents.

If you write about products on your blog, you can try Amazon Native Ads.

5. Adversal

Adversal is the best Adsense alternative in terms of serving ads. It has a great CTR and works with several languages. You need to have monthly page views of 50,000 to apply this network.

Minimum payout is $20 and payment modes are PayPal, ACH, Check, or Wire. It has an affiliate program too.

6. VigLink

VigLink is totally different from other Ad networks. It converts normal links into affiliate links. If someone makes a purchase by using your link, you’ll earn commission out of it. For example, if you have a post about iPhone or you mentioned iPhone on a post, VigLink will automatically add new affiliate links or convert existing links to affiliate links.

Viglink works great on e-commerce based site. If you write about products on your blog, you can try this.

7. BuySellAds

BuySellAds is an advertisement marketplace that connects publishers with advertisers. It is slightly different from other Ad networks I mentioned here. While other Ad networks pay based on CPC or CPM, BuySellAds pays for direct advertisement. It works as a middleman between advertiser and publisher. And it charges 25% of the transaction.

However, it’s tough to get approved by BuySellAds. You need to have a good amount of traffic to get approval. So if you are still struggling with AdSense approval, don’t try BuySellAds. Getting BuySellAds approval is tougher than AdSense. But it’s a good compliment for AdSense.

8. Propeller Ads

I’ve added Propeller Ads to this AdSense alternatives list mainly because a lot of people suggested Propeller Ads on the comment.
Propeller Ads is a UK based Ad network. It’s a CPM ad network which pays for every 1000 impressions. If you have traffic from U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, it will work great for you.

It has different types of ad products like OnClick PopUnder Ads, Mobile Ads, Banner Ads, Layer Ads, Slider Ads, Video Ads etc. It pays through Wire Transfer, Payoneer, Webmoney and Prepaid Cards.

9. Chitika

Next Google AdSense alternative is Chitika. If you are tired of not getting AdSense approval, then sign up for Chitika. You need not get approval for using Chitika ads on your site. That means you can monetize your low traffic site with Chitika. Just create an account and put ads on your site.

It offers 3 types of ads – Search Targeted Ads, Local Ads, and Mobile Ads. It’s PPC rates aren’t as good as AdSense.

10. Skimlinks

10 best Google Adsense Alternatives

Here are some of the best Google Adsense Alternatives you can try to monetize your website without using Google Adsense, and I’ll tell you how they work and why you should consider them, so let’s start:

10. Amazon Associates

You can make a good amount of money from Amazon, especially in Christmas and other holidays

Amazon is the biggest online store in the world, so they must be doing something good. Well, if you have a website that talks about any product that can be found on Amazon, then Amazon associates could work for you. Amazon allows you to put dynamic image ads to your blog, so that you can promote them and while this isn’t a Pay-per-click or CPM program, it will pay you a small commission for everything they sell from your links. So let’s say you have a blog about Apple products and you put an ad driving them to buy an iPod or just a cable. If they buy it, an small commission will be for you. So if you sell a $10 cable you might receive a few cents, but sell a $1500 Laptop and you might receive $100. The good thing is that everything they buy through your link (even if it isn’t the product you recommended at first) will generate a commission for your. the only con I find with Amazon, is that they need to send you a check that could take weeks to arrive to your home, unless you live in the United Stated of America where you can provide your Bank account. You can use this with Adsense at the same time.

9. Yllix Media

Yllix is a network I have heard a lot in the last years that has a decent CPM and many monetization options. Their homepage might look simple but their dashboard is great and it’s easy to get started. Yllix has Pop under ads, mobile redirects, sliders, layer ads and full page ads so you can get a good CTR and make money with them. Definitely a good option for starters and their approval is fast.

8. Revenue Hits

Revenue Hits is a very strong network with several years in the industry. I’ve been working with them for 2 years and so far the results have been great. Revenue Hits is a Performance Ad network, which means they pay you for results (CPA, which is great for many niches). Revenue Hits has an advanced platform that learns from your Ads so if you give them a try make sure to keep their ads running for at least 3-4 days to get the best results.

7. Adversal

Adversal is a great alternative of Adsense. They have good banners and the CTR and revenue adapts to get the best results for your website. I’ve seen the Ads on Adversal have a good CTR and they have good image ads too. This is probably the Ad network which seems to work better for those looking for a replacement of Google Adsense. It works decently with other languages too.  You account gets approved really fast and they also have Pop under /CPM ads as an option. Note: Adversal requires a website with a minimum of 50,000 page views per month, but they have proven to work really well. I earn over $500-1000 per month. They also pay via paypal. Sign up here. Bonus: Check my Adversal earnings here.

6. Chitika

The reason I put Chitika on the number 3 of this list, is because Chitika is very similar to Adsense. they allow you to customize your ads, and it only serves contextual ads. One good thing is that you can use it along with Adsense and there are no problems at all. Chitika pays via Paypal ($10 USD minimum, which is good for starters) or via check ($50 minimum). If I were to recommend an ads service as an alternative to Adsense, Chitika would be my first choice, hands down. Chitika can pay you via paypal if you need.

Electric Cars You Can Buy in India by 2020

The future is electric, like it or not. The Indian government has also laid out a plan to sell only electric cars in India by 2030. However, there is still a lot of work that companies need to do before more electric vehicles can show up on Indian roads.

At the moment, there are only two passenger cars - the Mahindra e2O and Mahindra eVerito - and a handful of commercial vehicles that are electrically powered in India, such as the Mahindra eSupro. Tata is in the process of developing a few commercial vehicles such as the Tata Magic Iris electric and a few buses.

The Mahindra e2O is the largest-selling electric car in India today.

Tata, in fact, recently won a bid to supply the Indian government with 10,000 electric sedans. However, it still does not have an electric car commerically available and hence Mahindra would supply part of that contract initially.
However, the Indian automotive landscape can change in the next three years. Here is a list of likely electric cars that you will see by 2020 in India.

Mahindra KUV100 Electric

A Mahindra electric vehicle again! If someone does not come in with competition soon enough, it looks like Mahindra will continue to hold a monopoly over the pure electric market in India. The Mahindra KUV100 will be the first SUV from Mahindra to get an electric motor next year. Most likely it will share its powertrain with the Mahindra eVerito that is already on the road. The KUV100 is likely to be followed by electric variants of the Mahindra Scorpio and Mahindra XUV500.
Mahindra has said it will produce a range of electric powertrains ranging from 41PS to 205PS of power, which will suit a range of vehicles in its portfolio.

Tata Nano EV

The Tata Nano EV was showcased at the Geneva Motor show.

Tata will launch an electric version of the Tata Nano, given that its entry level car has not been selling in large enough volumes. The Tata Nano EV has been spotted testing near Coimbatore and is likely to be showcased at the Auto Expo 2018 in New Delhi. The Tata Nano EV will have the same body and styling as the existing Tata Nano, but will come with an all electric powertrain. Details of this are scarce at the moment, but the car is likely to debut next year. The Tata Nano EV will likely be priced at par with the Mahindra e2O, which is at around Rs 7 lakh to Rs 9 lakh.

Tata Tigor & Tiago EV

The Tata Tiago and Tigor EV will likely be shown at Auto Expo 2018.
