You could try Casale and Valueclick, though I warn you, rates paid to advertisers have fallen through the floor this past year.

rates paid to advertisers
Rates paid to publishers, shurely?
Established AdSense alternatives include:
Inline Links

(Makes it look like your computer has been hit by a drive-by malware download, but some publishers don't seem to mind).
Contextual Adpanels
Yahoo YPN
MSN AdCenter
AdSonar
Behavioural Advertising
Revenue Science
Text Links
AdBrite
Text Link Ads
Other
Chitika eMiniMalls
Probably quite a few others in each category.
How do they pay in relation in adsense?
That's really dificult to answer. The level of success varies from one site to another. For example, I never had any good luck with Commission Junction, but others swear by it. I have had mediocre success with Amazon, but others say it's no good. What it comes down to is the old saying that "the proof is in the pudding." If you find a program that interests you, sign up for it (that's almost always free). Then add some of their links to your pages and wait a couple of weeks. If you start making money then you found a winner. If the links don't convert, then move on to another.
They all suk.
Has anyone out there used Yahoo? If so, what is your experience with them?
The idea is that they sell a PART of your inventory at a fixed (CPM) price you want and the rest (what they can't sell for you) is going through AdSense. Kind of like a real market, with hedging. (Is that allowed, by the way, in terms of AdSense TOS?)
Tried adbrite and it sucks big time.
agree. had adbrite on for nine months and nada.. not one cent.
Text-link-ads though, gave me 3 checks in 7 months.
