Google Ad Alternatives

[John P]

I'm looking for some ad networks for blog advertising that are either alternatives to Google Ads or provide additional avenues for monetizing your blog. Does anyone know of more reputable and established ad networks? The ones I've got so far:

Text Link Ads
ScribeFire
Project Wonderful
Adpinion
Chitika
Widget Bucks
BlogHer

This is a very good collection John. I think if an ad network exists that's not on your list, that's probably because they're not so good.
And you can't take ads from 300 ad networks on your site anyway. I've heard that Chitika and text link ads are the best (maybe Scribefire also), Chitika on some blogs are almost as good as Adsense.

And if you have a decent site you should also consider private advertising, since that form of income can make you the most money.
Take a look a b5media, although they take away half of the profit, they can get you premium advertisers easily. Calculate which works better

Hello - there are many around and it is tough to know which one to pick. I'll tell you what I do, I look at what Paul Piotrowski is doing on his blogs How to Make Money Doing What You Love and Journey to Becoming a Super Affiliate as he is grown very quickly and seems to have his finger on the pulse of this industry. I am not connected with Paul in any way other than a big fan!

Good Luck

I'm actually trying to find more ad networks for another purpose. I'm not looking to put them all up on my blog. I don't think that 7 ad networks runs the gamut of what is available out there either.

Excellent, thanks! I'll check those out.

I seem to remember finding two different ones.

One is for blogs specifcally Blogsvertise

And the other one is similar to google adsense Bidvertiser

Haven't really investigated any of them fully as I'm giving project wonderful a chance.

I use Commission Junction and Linkshare. I find them reliable and easy to use.
