Clicksor

Clicksor is the third most popular alternative of adsense.It is pretty good to be honest but due to restrictions of something like 5000 page views per day makes it rank 3rd.Their tolerance level is also better than most of the ads companies around.Lets discuss some of its features
Benefits:

  • A really big range of ads types available
  1. Pop unders
  2. Animated Ads
  3. Image Ads
  4. Text Ads
  5. Flash Ads
  6. Banners
  7. Interstitial Ads
  8. Dynamic Ads
  • The minimum pay out from pay pal is 20$ and 50$ from check.It is not really bad.
  • The pay period is the fastest of all ads agencies,15 days only.
  • They are highly contextual.That means they totally shows only ads that matches your keywords.
  • They have a real time costumer support which is really exciting.
  • The statistics are real time too and gives a handy set of information frequently.
  • They have 3 types of payment on ads service.Cost Per Click, Cost Per Visit and Cost Per Thousand Impression.The ads either of these 3 will be selected through the wish of the publisher which is another impressive feature.
Concerns:

  • The restriction of 5000page views daily is quite a headache for smaller bloggers or websites.
  • The ads take really too long to show that does not impress the visitor and hence results in moving to another destination.
  • Only English Ads are accepted
I haven't tried clicksor ads myself yet I am showing a screen shot of earning of one of my friends.But, the feed back from other guys and friends is quite good.But, just a piece of advice, you should have a good amount of daily traffic to your website or blog if you are looking to go for clicksor.So I would rate it high for bigger guns and pretty low for the small bloggers.

Adbrite

Adbrite ads are another one of the top adsense alternatives.I say #2 after Bidvertiser getting a rank of 9 out of 10. It has a highly professional ads system with an attractive outlook of their website too.Lets get to the main thing and tell some benefits and advantages which are unique and decent and really beats adsense by a big margin.

Benefits:

  • The best and unique feature of setting your minimum payout by yourself and that is not it.You can set it to as low as 5$ only, Yes not 50$ it is 5$.Impressive isn't it?That is why it is great ad company for smaller bloggers and website holders too and can earn big money.
  • It shows both type of ads together i.e Cost Per Click (CPC) and Cost Per Impression.
  • It is also a great companion for other ads agencies.Because, if you are running two ads program on one website or blog, then you have an option to set the pricing mode which will show ads according to their price.If adbrite is paying more for an ad on your website or blog it will show it otherwise it will show the other companies ads which is amazing.
  • Adbrite ads have another amazing and unique type of ads feature that is inline ads. Inline ads have an amazing click through rate because they are shown for any 8 double underline keywords on the page, when a visitor rolls his mouse over those keywords he will see a little related ad over it which really attracts people to click it.
Screen Shot:


  • Another decent ads type is full page ads.Full page ads ,as the name suggests, shows on the full page except the header of the web page and there is an option of "Skip This Ad" at the top but it does not really look as if the visitor is going out to any other webpage and hence surfs on that ad.However, the full page ads pays on per impressions i.e CPM (A screenshots is at the bottom of this article).
Screen Shot:



  • They also pay by pay pal which is the fastest way to get money. However, you can get a check too if you do not have a pay pal account.
  • You can pick which ads to approve and which to deny unlike adsense.
  • There terms and conditions are not as tough as adsense.Hence, they warn you first if something suspicious is going on with your blog or website.
  • The best customer support service I ever see.They litrally want you to earn money and always available to help you out.They reply in less than 48 hours guranteed or even some times in less than 24 hours.So you do not need to worry about any problem if you face, you can always consult them.
  • They accept you into the system within 24 hours and takes 3 hours to take any effects on the ads.
  • The Cost Per Click (CPC) is really good and even beat adsense.However, it increases with the passage of time but trust me I am earning from it more than even adsense.
Concerns:

There are not many conerns but only few which should be kept in mind.

  • It usually takes 20 to 30 days for getting higher Cost Per Click and Cost Per Impression.They do geather the information about your website then they start to pay higher as passage of time.So you have to be patient a bit in the start.
  • Not too much options for ads customization and type.
  • Shows "Your Ad Here" too often if your page is not attracting big number of advertisers to advertise on your page.
Hence, Adbrite ads are better than the adsense and highly ranked and growing network.In the last I'm posting the screen shot of my earning.I earned above 100$ in last 7 days thats amazing isn't it?That is why I am always a bit confused in Adbrite and Bidvertiser as they seems to be head to head like a difference of just 0.005 between them.But,I still prefere Bidvertiser.

Why Adsense Alternatives ?

Google adsense in the today's world is rocking the internet marketing sector because of its name and higher number of advertiser's than any other ads agency.But, now-a-days the trend has started to change due to certain reasons.Google's strict policy, bad customer care service, higher pay out and the most important one getting banned without even any particular reason is driving people more towards to alternatives of adsense and rightly so.



Adsense's Concerns:


1) Lets start with the minimum pay out . The minimum payout is nothing less than 100$. It really does not matter for the big guns in the business but what about small blogger like me? what about the people who just started using advertisers to earn some money? ofcourse they require at least some amount to start with to get motivated. But, 100$ looks too far for all small or new bloggers or websites that are having less traffic than 10,000 visitors per day. In the end, the publisher loss his interest in the work becuase it looks it would take ages to reach that 100$ mark. However, almost all the other similar to adsense services provide as low as 10$ payout which is really encouraging.

2) It does not let you allow certain ads which usually pays high. Infact, you can not do anything about those ads at all.They just show on your website according to your keywords in the content, hence if you content does not have high paying keywords then you will not be able to earn maximum revenue like you can do in other ads agencies.

3) Getting verified through a PIN which is sent to your mailing address is another pain in the head. It can take as long as a month or two to get the PIN and verify yourself as a human. None of the other ads services requires such a long procedure for activation.


4) Now here comes the most important factor which makes people join the alternatives, Getting banned from adsense without any particular notice, without any warning, nothing at all. You might wait for like 5 to 6 months first to get to that 100$ mark and when you earned 100$ you wake up next morning happy that you will soon receive the payment, you check your e-mail and there is a sweet e-mail message popping up to wish a very happy morning from adsense which says your account has been banned. You can jump from 100th floor of any building to prove that you did not do anything, you can appeal for reinstating the account but in the end you will only get an automated e-mail reply service saying that try as hard as you can, once we blocked you then you are never allowed to enter again without even letting know what made them banned you.
Here is what you most probably going to see after reaching that 100$ mark and log in the next day with a happy face



5) Lack of customer service or support. Whenever you try to contact them,you will simply get an automatic reply that you will soon recieve an e-mail response but no one knows what does soon mean in their dictionary. While, all the ads services I have been using got an excellent support center. They all reply to your question within 48 hours and mark my words 48 means 48 hours no more than that (Business Days).

You can clearly get an idea what are the basic factors you should be aware of, if you are looking to join adsense. It is just that it got a name of BIG G with it that makes it so popular, otherwise there are some serious concerns about their services which makes people to join its alternatives and adsense similar services. It is just the case of lack of awareness but now a days people are getting aware and hence people are mostly moving towards other top adsense alternatives which earns even more money in a friendly enviornment.
