What are alternatives to Google AdSense?
Google AdSense is the leader in web-based content-sensitive marketing.

Webmasters place Google AdSense JavaScript code on their web pages and Google AdSense serves advertisements based upon the content of the web page.

Some webmasters are either not accepted into the Google AdSense program, or do not wish to do business with Google.

For those webmasters, there are many alternatives to Google AdSense:

AdSense Alternate Ads
Many webmasters are not looking for a true replacement for Google AdSense, but instead are seeking for an alternative for when Google AdSense is not able to find an advertisement which matches the content of their web page. Normally, when AdSense is unable to find a matching advertisement, it selects a random Public Service Announcement (PSA) and displays it in the ad space. These PSA's generate no revenue for the webmaster.

Google has created the ability to load an alternate ad when it cannot find a matching ad. This is accomplished by setting a variable called google_alternate_ad_url in your AdSense layout code:

google_alternate_ad_url = "/adsense-alternate-ad.shtml";
These alternate ads can include advertisements from Google AdSense competitors.

This capability enables you to tap into a revenue stream which would normally be lost to AdSense PSAs. It also enables you to test Google AdSense alternatives in a reduced-risk environment.

This unique combination of category and keywords delivers more value to the advertiser and therefore a higher CPM for you. Click here to learn more

Increase inventory

ContextAd creates keyword and category inventory across content, solving an inventory shortage that exists on search keywords.

Create new revenue streams

ContextAd offers you the ability to create new revenue streams by adding contextual ad units on your site. ContextAd uses a revenue ranking system that rewards the best performing ads with more volume. This means that the targeted ads that are rotated across your Web site are optimized based on relevance, performance, and price, so they produce as much revenue as possible. When ads are more relevant, more users will be interested in them and will click on them more often - earning more money for you.

Add value to existing inventory

Our technology identifies the most accurate keywords to describe the content on each page and then delivers ads from the related category, creating greater value. Ultimately your Web site becomes a more trusted resource for customers since they only view ads that are relevant to their own interests.

ContextAd can support customized ad units

ContextAd not only supports standard IAB sizes, but also allows non-standard sizes as well. For example, ContextWeb's PowerAd (500x300) has been created to maximize the publisher's CPM.

Customize the look and feel of the ads on your web page
