Can anyone recommend Google AdSense competitors that are relatively similar in Earnings per click?

Thanks in advance.

None at the moment. Yahoo Publisher Network [webmasterworld.com] is in beta, folks are eagerly awaiting it. Probably the only program that has a chance to compete on epc.

As for 2nd-tier providers, well, one of the reasons they're 2nd tier is that they take in much less per bid from the advertisers, and have much less to pay out.

Ooops! By the way, welcome to Webmasterworld, antandsons.

Thanks for the welcome. Is there anyone out there even remotely comparable to Google?

I heard of Fastclicks, Quigo, AdBrite and others. Any you recommend?

I currently use bidvertiser on my website at <snip> but the clickthroughs and payouts are terrible. Also using adbrite, but no one has bought any ad space yet...

Let me be a little bit more specific, any providers out there with high revenue percentages for the publisher, good EPC, no minimum on visitors?

I've only tried one other adsense competitor (sonar) and, no offense to quigo, they really sucked. The ad inventory was so limited that matching was not very relevant at all.

think this really shows that it depends on the niche you are in. Google offered me wee jeannies bed and breakfast at 5c a click. Adsonar offered me expedia, hilton hotels, sheraton hotels at 80c a click. Guess which one I appreciated more!

For some people Adsense may indeed be the "be all and end all" for others it might be someone else.

you're right. depends on the niche. but google covers so many more niches.
