Recently I was approved for Google Adsense after many months of being rejected and no clear reason why. So after some research I can across a few reputable and just as profitable sites. The AdSense alternative ad networks mentioned below are not necessarily better than Google AdSense, but depending on your blog niche and site’s traffic, a few AdSense alternative programs (like Media.net or Viglink) might give you better earnings and results than AdSense.

Google Adsense may be the most popular ad network for bloggers looking to monetize their websites. But not everyone gets approved, and accounts could also get suspended. You should be aware that Google AdSense is a contextual ad networking program while a few of the AdSense alternatives mentioned below are not contextual ad programs.

Whether you're like me who just can't get lucky with Google Adsense, or you're interested in making more money blogging by adding alternative revenue streams, check out this list of Google Adsense Alternatives and start applying for a more diversified income portfolio.

Top 5 ad networks for WordPress bloggers

Adsense. The best ad network for publishers around the world, Adsense is one network which is used by all bloggers. ...

1. Media.net
2. Propeller Ads
3. Popads
4. Chikita
5. Infolinks

Media.net

This one is widely considered the best choice after AdSense, that is. There’s no denying that AdSense is on top because of its reliability and how easy it is to use. But Media.net, with the help of the Yahoo! Bing Network behind it, is well-respected in its own right, and it’s considered by many to be the closest of all the alternatives to AdSense in quality.

Plus, it takes only about two days for account approval (or rejection) with Media.net, versus AdSense’s weeks-long waiting period.

However, like many ad networks on this list, each website or blog must be approved by Media.net before it will flood your site with lucrative text and banner ads, and the network can be picky.

Another potential downside is that Media.net has a $100 minimum payout, which is among the highest on this list, and supports only Payoneer and now Paypal as well.

PropellerAds

This company specializes in pop-under ads, which they claim offer the highest cost-per-thousand (CPM — the “M” being the Roman numeral for 1,000) rates in the game Pop-under ads are similar to pop-up ads, but they load behind the window and will appear when the window closes. PropellerAds also supports video banner ads, which are especially effective for a company that has moving images to show your site traffic — like movie or video game trailers, for example.

There is no minimum site traffic for PropellerAds, and there’s no waiting period for account activation. Once you’ve confirmed your email address, you’re in.

Payout minimums skew relatively high, at $50 for PayPal and $100 for Payoneer.

PopAds

PopAds is specialized in Pop Unders. They have great rates and they can monetize all countries. Something nice about PopAds is that they will payout as long as you earn $5 or more per day. which is great for us! Their quality is good, and they also have pop ups, tab ups/unders and other monetization methodsfor your site. Their approvals are easy and setting up your ads takes just a few minutes which gets you earning faster!.

Chitika

This service may be the solution for sites that were rejected by other ad networks for various reasons. Chitika,works with you regardless of the size of your site or how heavy or light your traffic may be right now.

Chitika does work best with sites that get most of their traffic from search engines. Typicallly viewers who get there by other means, like following links or typing in your URL and searching.

In 2017, Chitika raised the minimum payout from $10 to $50 (via PayPal or check). So your growing website or blog may see fewer paydays for the time being until your site gains better traffic..

InfoLinks

Infolinks famous for its in line text advertising network and is for higher traffic sites. Inforlinks shows ad's that match your sites content vs. random ad's that have nothing to do with your page.Infolinks also converts certain keywords for you from your site content into advertising links and you get paid for each click made on any of those ads.

So.. more clicks means even more money for you. They have a revenue share of 70% for its publishers which is great for us as well. Payments are made through Paypal, Check, Bank Transfer, ACH.

There are lot better alternatives to AdSense that pay you more with the same level of traffic. Reson behind this blog and listing out the Google AdSense alternatives is to help you make more money with the current traffic you have.

These ad programs are not only very similar to AdSense, they can bring you money from niches that AdSense doesn’t support (or gives less earnings) like low traffic sites, sites with adult content etc.
