Top Google AdSense Alternatives For 2018

I think we can all agree in terms of display advertising rates Google AdSense is pretty much the reining champ.

It used to be super easy to get approved though.

However, in recent years, it's become increasingly more challenging...especially for those who have newer sites that don't already get a lot of traffic.

So, What Are Some Good Alternatives To AdSense That Still Pay Out Pretty Decent?

PropellerAds - I hadn't heard about this network until about a year or so ago when I was doing some research on the best AdSense alternatives. I believe it's only been around a couple years, but it's very easy to get approved for and they offer the opportunity to earn some pretty generous CPMs.

Infolinks - This is another solid AdSense alternative that was founded in 2007. They offer several different products for monetizing your site, but I would recommend you already have somewhat of an authority site built up and traffic coming in before you submit your sites to ensure they get approved.

Adsterra - This is also a relatively newer network, that I hadn't heard about until the last year or so. But, so far, my experience has been great with them and if you combine their ads with ads from other networks, you're definitely going to increase the average CPM on your sites.

Bidvertiser - This platform I don't have a lot of experience earning money with, I just know they've been around for a long time, and that's a good thing. You want to align yourself with solid brands and companies that are definitely going to pay you and pay on time. So, if you're already getting results with some of the other networks mentioned on this list, Bidvertiser is worth checking out to add another stream of passive income to your porfolio.

Chitika - This is another good alternative to AdSense. Again, I don't personally have a great deal of experience with this network, but they've been around since way back in 2003, so they're pretty solid.

Content.ad - This is a native ad network, but it's significantly easier to get your website approved for than some of the larger native ad networks like Outbrain or Taboola. However, you'll still need to make sure you already have a decent amount of traffic coming to your site to ensure it gets approved.

Facebook Instant Articles - This is one that I wasn't aware of until a few days ago of me writing this, but seems to be pretty incredible...at least for now. I'm certainly not the expert on this one yet, so to learn more about how to get started check out this article.

In conclusion, although Google AdSense is great, just know that it's not the end of the world if you get your AdSense account suspended or if you're finding it hard to get approved in the first place.

I hope this list gives you some excellent alternatives that you can substitute in place of AdSense.
