14 Best Google Adsense alternatives for bloggers | 2018 Edition

How many times have you applied for AdSense account and got rejected?
It could be several times or more. Maybe, you are still struggling to get approved by AdSense, or your account got disabled.
Most of the new bloggers apply for AdSense many times and become disappointed after getting rejected by AdSense. But AdSense is not the only advertising network for publishers. There are a lot of ad networks that share a decent amount of revenue to their publisher.
To be honest, though there are a lot of ad networks but there is no real alternative to AdSense. AdSense is still the
best Advertising Network. But I do believe that ‘Something is better than nothing’. That’s why I am going to share some Google AdSense alternatives.
If you are one of them who didn’t get approved by AdSense or got banned by AdSense, then you can try the following networks. You can also use these networks along with AdSense to increase your revenue.
Here is the list of
AdSense Alternatives (2018) that are similar to Google AdSense.

The way it works is a little bit different from Adsense. While Adsense shows Ads based on context or visitor’s interest, it creates a bidding system that allows the highest bidder to advertise on your blog. Initially, you won’t be able to earn much revenue as it takes some time to get your site found by Highest bidders. So stay longer.
Ad Types: Native Ads, Pop Under, Domain Redirect, XML.

4. Amazon Native Ads
Amazon Associates is the world's largest affiliate program. The great thing about the program is, it has an advertising program named "Native Shopping Ads".
The way it works is a little bit different from AdSense. While AdSense pays you for clicks or impressions, Amazon Native Ads only pay you for sales. As Amazon is the world's most popular and largest eCommerce site, it's not that much tough to get sales from Amazon.com.
Amazon Native Shopping Ads show highly relevant product ads in stylish and responsive design to help you to earn more.

Viglink works great on e-commerce based site. If you write about products on your blog, you can try this.
7. BuySellAds
BuySellAds is an advertisement marketplace that connects publishers with advertisers. It is slightly different from other Ad networks I mentioned here. While other Ad networks pay based on CPC or CPM, BuySellAds pays for direct advertisement. It works as a middleman between advertiser and publisher. And it charges 25% of the transaction.
However, it’s tough to get approved by BuySellAds. You need to have a good amount of traffic to get approval. So if you are still struggling with AdSense approval, don’t try BuySellAds. Getting BuySellAds approval is tougher than AdSense. But it’s a good compliment for AdSense.

Whenever you add in text ads on your site, make sure that you are not annoying your readers with too many ads.
My advice is not to try the networks at a time. You can do A/B testing to check which one works better for you. However, you can use 2-3 networks at a time.
