Many
feel Google's Adsense may not be the right program for their
site, or network of sites. There are a few Google Adsense Alternatives.
Here is a quick look at some of the options publishers have
in pay per click advertising.
- Choose how much your site is worth, and sell ad space
on a cpm basis.
Quite easy to set up a campaign and advertisers find your site
on the adbrite page. So they come looking for you, and you
just sit back and approve or dissaprove of the ads. If no advertisers
are buying space on your site, they have a feature that will
place general ads on your site that you get paid decent amounts
per click.
uses
their patent IntelliText, which is the technology that scans
for words on your page that an advertiser has chosen as a
keyword. These words will turn into hyperlinks, and when
a visitor mouses over the text, a small ad hovers above the
link. I didn't have much luck with this program. The click
through rates were very low, which lowered the overall earnings
to levels I was not satisfied with.
I have been testing the YPN Beta,
and it looks as though targeting of the ads needs huge
improvement. CTR compared to AdSense is drastically lower,
but the EPC are higher which almost evens out pages eCPM.
I have been in contact with Yahoo!, and they are aware
that targeting needs to be worked on. If targeting were
a bit closer, and didn't take upwards of four days to hone
in, I would switch more of my pages over to YPN.
