Alternatives to Adsense

[dpakman91]

I have two websites that I've applied to casalemedia and fastclick for, and they havne't been accepted to either. they are both relatively new sites, but one does have PR3 already, and both have reasonable traffic.

what other options are out there?

I'm not sure why Casale denied my site either. I've never been denied by an ad network in the eight years I've been running web sites. Oh well.

AdSense wasn't working well for me, so I'm testing out Kanoodle text ads right now on an automotive site. If my one day test is any indication, they're serving me very well. I'd give them a try!

Don't bother with TargetPoint ... CPC is like $0.02.

Adsonar will reject you unless you have 100% US traffic which is pretty much impossible unless you deny access to the rest of the planet.

Tribal Fusion works great for me but they're not text ads.

I've been playing with Kanoodle's BrightAds, Chitika's eMiniMalls and ContextWeb.

So far, ContextWeb has been the best overall, for tightly focused sites.

[dpakman91]

how does contextweb compare to kanoodle? maybe i will apply to both and see what happens. there's jus so much wasted traffic right now in terms of that type of advertising, i need to get something going.

[Drastic]

Kanoodle's epc is higher, but their ads are less relevant per page, which means less CTR.

ContextWeb has better targeting but lower epc. The targeting made a much bigger difference in my testing.

I'd try them both and see which works best for you.

paypopup will accept almost everything but their CPM are not as high as Casale Media

I just got a report from a friend of mine who is also running Burst ads on some of his sites but is dropping them after getting countless emails blaming him for trying to set a virus on their computers.

After a little sluething work he traced it back to an ad being served by Burst. Burst has really come down in stature, they accept any scumball advertising offered them.

The fellow I am talking about has numerous (white hat) websites and runs a lot of diverse advertising. He is also in the UPs club...I believe I will take his word for it because I was getting ready to sign up with them.

Glad I didn't!

I find target-point a pretty good alternative to adsense, they give me better cpc rates.
