Adsense Alternatives
Many people have started using Google's AdSense program, but some find that it's a little uncertain or just doesn't fit their particular ad program needs.
But fortunately for these people, there are plenty of alternatives to AdSense that attempt to alleviate some of its shortcomings. Below is a list of the most notable in the collection with a description of each.
AllFeeds (http://www.allfeeds.com/?action=publishers)
AllFeeds offers a wide range of online advertisers. It also offers several display formats that you can choose from. These include banners, buttons, XML feeds, DHTML popups, etc. It also contains real-time reports on the status of your ad. The site will send a check every month, provided you earn more than $25.00, while recording next month's earnings if you don't. Another cool thing about AllFeeds is that it integrates with Google AdSense which boosts your earnings with AdSense.
MarketBanker (http://www.marketbanker.com/mb/sell.php)
MarketBanker gives you the unique ability to set prices for your site. It also lets you allow or deny any link that appears on your site (although AdSense itself does a good job too, with URL filters). There is also a stats section that will allow you to see how well your site is performing. The ads are small, just like AdSense ads, and are easy to set up. MarketBanker registration is also free.
BidClix (http://www.bidclix.com/PubTop.html)
BidClix is different because it has advertisers competing for clicks on your site, which in turn aims to generate the highest possible revenue for your page. It also has a very large pool of advertisers, which ensures that many people will choose your site. However, it requires more tweaking on site content than AdSense. As with most sites, real-time stats are available and it's very easy to get started with this service, but it's also very flexible.
Chitika (http://www.realcontext.com/index.php?option=RealContext:+Contextual+Targeting+Engine)
RealContext uses artificial intelligence to retrieve the most relevant ads for your page. And there is an additional feature that also makes RealContext unique. Keywords are selected based on previous push selections that have not been successful. This means that there is an ongoing feedback process that ensures you get better revenue from your ads. It also supports blocking certain add-ons, child safe filtering and many other options.
AdHearus (http://adhearus.com/webmaster.php)
AdHearus is a feature rich contextual advertising provider. As with AdSense, the ads are targeted, but it doesn't stop there at all. The ads are very flexible, you can choose from text ads, banners, rectangles, pop-ups, pop-unders or skyscrapers. You can also display your own ads, in rotation, on your site and on other affiliate sites, which makes AdHearus a combination of traditional advertising techniques. There's a very comprehensive online real-time reporting feature, and as usual with services like this, getting started is free and easy.
AffiliateSensor (http://www.affiliatesensor.com/)
AffiliateSensor has highly customizable ad blocks, which you can DIY with an easy-to-use online interface. You can also get real-time click reports by domain, page, and referrals. There is also integration with Google AdSense, via google_alternate_ad_url so that AffiliateSensor can be used as an alternative to Google PSA (Public Service Ads).
Kanoodle Bright Ads (http://www.kanoodle.com/about/brightads.cool)
Kanoodle's offering allows publishers to have ads related to topics or segments, not the traditional keyword-driven ads. The site also manually aggregates publisher sites with advertisers to ensure revenue-generating ads. And speaking of revenue, the amount of money you receive is a clear 50% share of the amount of money Kanoodle receives for an advertiser.

TargetPoint is geared more towards content publishers. It offers full control over the ad format, statistics on your site's overall performance, and better earnings. The registration
