Google AdSense is undoubtedly the best advertising network out there that follows a pay-per-click advertising model. When Google AdSense was first launched they were accepting almost all websites with over 100 content rich pages and that comply with their basic program policies. So almost anyone was able to get an AdSense account (even with scraped content) in less than a week or two.
But today, your website must not only comply with Google AdSense Program Policies but must also comply with Google Webmaster Guidelines. It means that you they can deny your AdSense application if your website is selling text links or is hosting copyrighted content, etc. Even if your website complies with these program policies and guidelines they may still reject the application based on the content quality.
Is It Possible To Make Money Blogging Without Google AdSense?
In a word, Yes. But what you should know is that Google AdSense is almost unassailable when it comes to monetization simply because they have the largest ad inventory. Since pay-per-click ad networks determines the cost per click based on bidding, when more and more advertisers are bidding for the same ad position the cost per click increases naturally. That exactly is the reason why AdSense outperforms any other ad networks out there.
And that doesn’t mean that you can’t make more money that you used to make with AdSense from other networks. For instance, if you use the right affiliate program then its earnings may be more than all your ad revenues combined. But the problem with affiliate programs is that they’re not so reliable. For example, if your organic rankings drop then it will impact your earnings directly or if those affiliate programs reduce commissions or change their business model then it may affect your earnings. So it’s not a good idea to rely on affiliate programs alone in the long term.
So what are the options and alternatives to Google AdSense?
Luckily there are a lot of websites to monetize our content in several ways without using AdSense. Some of them are: banner ad networks (for CPM ads), affiliate networks (for CPA ads), alternate pay-per-click ad networks (for CPC ads), text links, sponsored posts, paid guest posts, in-text ads, in-image ads, etc.
You can consider these AdSense alternatives if Google – banned your account for whatever reason, denied your application, or if you want to try something else or if you don’t want to depend upon AdSense income alone.
Sell PPC Ads: The 7 Best Google AdSense Alternatives
I have reviewed few pay-per-click ad networks, in-text ad networks, CPM ad networks, and other ways to monetize your content.

You can place ads from almost all the below mentioned networks along with your Google AdSense ads.
1. Yahoo! Bing Network Contextual Ads (by Media.net)
Media.net is probably the best alternative to AdSense as it’s powered by Yahoo Bing Network. Bing has a search market share of around 18% and they also have a good ad inventory. I’ve tried Media.net few months back and the average CPM was better than any other AdSense alternatives. Also, if you’re from Russia or your targeted visitors live in Russia then then you can try Yandex Advertising Network instead of Media.net.- Alexa Rank: 2,374

Sell Direct Ads
If your website is in a competitive niche and is getting good traffic then you can sell direct ads. It works the best when you have banner ad spots on your website so that potential advertisers can contact you to buy those ad spots. For some big publishers, selling direct advertising is their only way of monetization because they can control the CPM and thereby their income. All you need to do is to create an “Advertise” page on your blog or website with your Google PageRank, Alexa Traffic Rank, Traffic Statistics (by Google Analytics) and the available ad formats with their rates per month. Or you can try the following networks to make selling easier.

DoubleClick is a self-serve ad platform that is so flexible that you can control your entire ad inventory using only this platform. If your website is popular then you get inquiries from potential advertisers and in that case DoubleClick gets you the best value for every page view.
Sell Text Links
If you have a good quality website then it’s super easy to make money selling text links because advertisers are willing to spend thousands of dollars to improve their organic ranking. But wait, selling text links is against Google’s Webmaster Guidelines and they may even ban your website from its search results unless the links are rel=”nofollow”.

Pop Under & Pop Up Ads
I’m not a fan of pop up or pop under ads and I never tried those on any of my websites. But I feel that it’s a good advertising option for traffic heavy websites like downloads, image hosting, file sharing, etc. Why? For those kind of websites showing a couple of pop-under or pop-up ads won’t affect the user experience in a big way but if you place these kind of ads on your blog then it will affect user experience and your visitors may never return.
21. PopAds
PopAds appears to be the best advertising popunder ad network as the average revenue of their publishers for 1,000 U.S. visitors was never below $4. If it’s true then I think it can deliver better results than AdSense itself. You can request payment anytime you want or may use that money to buy advertising for your own websites.

CPM Ad Networks
CPM (Cost Per Mille) stands for Cost Per 1,000 Impressions. A high paying CPM advertising network is actually the best alternative to Google AdSense. As you probably know, Google AdSense (or any other pay per click network) pays for only clicks so it means that your monthly income varies a lot as AdSense CPC/CPM is very volatile. A CPM network pays you for every 1,000 page views you generate. So it means that if the CPM set by your CPM Network is $1 then you will earn $30 per month (if you generate 1,000 page views daily or 30,000 page views per month). High traffic websites and blogs rely on CPM networks than CPC networks since it generates guaranteed income.

BONUS 1: Partner With Brands
Okay, this is what I’m more interested in, and is something that I want to do in the near future. As you might have already noticed, I stopped monetizing my blog with ad networks like Google AdSense or Media.net for two reasons. First, I don’t like AdSense ads or banner ads as it takes a lot of space and hurts user experience. Second, it’s impossible to predict AdSense earnings as the CPM keeps on changing.
I prefer static banner ads and even text links (in other words, private ads) to Google AdSense. Because then I can control which advertiser I’m promoting, and I get guaranteed fixed income.
Wait, there is a better alternative to private ads — partnership with brands. If you have fair amount of traffic (let’s say, 10,000 visits a month) then it makes perfect sense to partner with a brand that you want to promote. And the first step is to create a Media Kit.
Media Kit is a document that shows quick stats about your blog. It should contain everything a potential advertiser wants to know. Essentially it answers an advertiser’s key question: “Why advertise on your blog?”
Ideally, it should have details about your blog’s — description, monthly traffic (unique visits, total visits & pageviews), subscribers, demographics, available advertising units and its rates, policies, social media follower stats, testimonials, etc. and about yourself (picture, bio, contact details, etc.) as a PDF or as a slideshow.
Note: I don’t have a Media Kit yet but I created an advertising page few months back and will also create a Media Kit in the near future.
When you have a Press Kit you can confidently pitch a brand of your choice (it must be relevant) and offer something that they can’t ignore. For instance, you can offer free advertising to a brand who you think might benefit from your traffic so that they may pay for renewals. The good thing is… doing that won’t leave blank ad spaces on your blog.
BONUS 2: Competitor Analysis
Competitor analysis is also an effective way to find the best affiliate programs for your website. But how? You can check the ads on your competitor’s website to find out what ad networks are they promoting. If it works on their website/blog then it should work on your website as well.
For example, if it’s a well-known commercial blog then you can analyze their homepage and see what he/she is promoting above the fold (i.e. portion of a web page that is visible in a browser window without having to scroll down). Why? Because most bloggers promote their best revenue sources above the fold so that it gets the immediate attention of all their readers.
Also, since bloggers love to write affiliate reviews you can check their “Reviews” category to find out what products and services they’re endorsing. And finally, if they are publishing their monthly income reports then it’s the best way to find out how exactly your fellow bloggers are making money from their blog.
If income reports are not available on their blog then you can do a Google search for “blog income report” and check the monthly income of similar blogs. I also recommend Matthew Woodward’s Income Report. Basically it’s an internet marketing blog but his monthly income report posts is a roundup of different blogs from different niches (any blogger can submit their income report and he will publish it).
Conclusion
There are dozens of new ad networks launching every year so it’s somewhat difficult to say what’s going to work on your blog without actually trying. You can analyze all the networks mentioned here to find out the best one that matches your website profile. And that exactly is the reason why I haven’t endorsed any ad network specifically. In fact I never tried some of the above mentioned networks but still I believe that I’ve listed only the best of the best.
Now, what’s your favorite Google AdSense alternative?

My STARTUP :
A story with millions of choices in it.
Try to imagine this. When you're reading a story on the web or blog, you are given two choices. You can choose the next story based on your own choice. After selecting then you can continue reading the story. Shortly afterwards you will be presented back to the 2 other options. The next choice is up to you. Then you continue the story you are reading. After that you will be faced again with 2 choices. So onwards.
If you feel curious then you can re-read the story by changing your selection. Then you will see a different story with the story that you have read previously. The question now is why is this so? Because the storyline will be varying according to your choice.
Based on the above, then you are faced with two choices. Are you interested in reading my story is? Or you are not interested at all. The choice is in your hands.
If you are interested then spread widely disseminated this article to your family, friends, neighbors, and relatives. You can also distribute it on facebook, twitter, goggle +, or other social media that this article be viral in the world. By doing so it is a new entertainment industry has been created.

Try to imagine this. When you're reading a story on the web or blog, you are given two choices. You can choose the next story based on your own choice. After selecting then you can continue reading the story. Shortly afterwards you will be presented back to the 2 other options. The next choice is up to you. Then you continue the story you are reading. After that you will be faced again with 2 choices. So onwards.
