Please advise me on any alternative to adsense for my site as I cannot add adsense or ypn for my site.

The site is not product/service based. Its just informative site. The site is very new, and traffic is 200 people this month

Please advise any good advertising which would earn me some good money

Thanks
J

A site with 200 visitors per month is not going to generate much advertising revenue, period. For example, assume that you were able to run an ad campaign that paid you 10 cents per click. A typical clickthrough rate for a relevant ad is 1%, meaning that only one out of 100 pageviews will generate a click (and only one click is usually counted per visitor, per day).

Even if 10% of your visitors clicked on your ad, you'd earn only $1.

Work instead on building up your site's traffic, then consider advertising options after you are drawing traffic of at least 10,000 pageviews per month.

You did not explain why your site is not acceptable for Google AdSense or Yahoo Publisher Network (other than perhaps the low traffic). It is quite likely that the reasons they exclude you will also lead other ad networks or brokers to exclude your site, and perhaps there is a message there about the value of your visitors to prospective advertisers.

If the site is not product / service based, then affiliation might be your answer; using Amazon (or whatever is appropriate to your niche) you can build up a steady income - and you will not be competing with yourself.

Don't overdo it; as a new site, you do want to appear desperate or sacrifice quality; but relevant affiliation may actually add something to an purely informative site, if designed into the page.
