I receive weekly emails or messages on my Facebook Fan Page or Google+ account telling me that if you’re banned from Adsense, you can’t make money online.
While there are many ways to make money online, one of the easiest ways to monetize a website is with Google Adsense. Google is the biggest Search Engine in the world and they have a super big advertising network based on CPC.
The advantage you have with Google Adsense is that their Ad inventory is so large, that you can monetize any website in any language and almost in any niche.
There are many Adsense alternatives out there, and some of them are very good. Adsense is a monetization technique I still use but it’s definitely not my main income, however, it’s great for starters, and every day I receive emails, messages or comments where I read how many people lost their Adsense account and they say the alternatives don’t work as well.
Today, I’m here to show you a few payments I’ve received from other Adsense alternatives that have worked well for me.
But first…
How does an Advertising Network decides how much and when to pay you?
This is the first question you should ask yourself before anything. This will basically answer all your questions. If you’ve tried any alternative without luck, this might be the reason you’re not earning money.
There are different Advertising networks nowadays. We have:
- CPC networks: pay per each click (Adsense, Chitika, Adversal and others). Great for niche sites and SEO.
- CPM networks: pay per 1k impressions (Mylikes, Taboola, Tribal Fusion, etc). Great for websites with tons of traffic, no matter which niche.
- Performance Ad networks: pay per Action (Peerfly, Clickbank, Neverblue, etc), great for affiliate marketing and SEO niches.
Once you understand this, you’ll know which network is the best for you and the reasons behind it.
Adsense is a CPC network, so you make money per each click you receive. They have a large inventory from all the countries, so no matter which country your traffic is coming from, they probably have something to show them. Click costs will range from $0.05 up to more than $100 per click.
For reference, my average CPC on this blog (I don’t use Adsense at this moment), is around $5 per click. But this is a hot niche and most of my traffic comes from the USA.
However, I use some alternatives that have been working really great on other niches like Media.Net and Adversal.
Update: Adversal closed their publishers program and I’m not sure when they’ll open it again.
Here is some proof:
I made a total of $295 from Adversal in March. Then I received my payment at the end of April as they pay NET30. April and May earnings decreased to an average of $150, but June and July have been great so far (I made over $660 last month). I’ve been receiving Adversal’s payments for 6 months already.
As for Media.Net, here’s some income proof:
Media net is actually earning me thousands of dollars per month lately. They’re a pretty damn good network.
If you’re interested in Media Net make sure to check our full Media.Net Review here.
And as a matter of fact, all my small niche sites where I’m using Media.net receive no more than 100-200 visits per day. So less then 6k visits per month. What’s the secret?
SEO Traffic.
Yes. The secret to earn money with Media.Net or even Adsense, is to have search engine traffic (organic). If you receive direct traffic, paid traffic or social traffic your CPC will be lower and you won’t make as much as I make.
Why?
Because SEO traffic converts a lot better than referral or organic traffic, and because the ads can be generated based on the search queries too.
Adsense pays a lot more for SEO traffic (hence I have $5 CPC on average) but the difference with Adsense is that you CAN make money even with Social or other types of traffic because Adsense is a program from Google. And if you use Google as a search engine, or if you use Chrome, GMail, Android, etc. Google can see the websites you’re surfing and the emails you’re receiving, and then put some convenient banners in front of your readers without them coming from search engine traffic. You won’t have $5 clicks, but you will earn at least a cents per click (usually $0.05 or more).
Conclusion
1. If you have an Adsense account. Use it wisely. It’s a big asset.
2. If you don’t have an Adsense account or you were banned but you have search traffic, try Adversal or Media.Net. Don’t forget Chitika works with English based websites only.
3. If you have paid traffic or traffic coming from social media sites and similar instead of search traffic, use a CPM Network! Tribal Fusion, Taboola and Mylikes have great CPM rates!
4. If you have targeted traffic in a certain niche, use CPA networks to maximize your profits. I’ll talk more about how to monetize almost any keyword with CPA networks in the near future, but I mentioned some of them in my Adsense Alternatives list.
Jack Rings says
Yes you are saying right Google is the biggest Search Engine in the world. They provide the better opportunity to the bloggers.
Jason says
How cuelinks work ? Can you explain it in some other post ?
Servando Silva says
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Never mentioned that in the post.
Onam Sharma says
Chitika Relevant ads are much better thanks man
Alyssa says
Hello Servando!
I like your name.
Btw can I use popads with adsense?
If so, then how much such I limit the popads number for visitor for a day?
Servando Silva says
No. You shouldn’t Popads with Adsense as Google doesn’t like it and they could easily ban your account.
Priyanka Mahajan says
Thanks for the Article.
AzComicsEs says
Hello, I am the administrator of AzComicsEs.Blogspot.com we are a growing blog and I am currently looking for monetization options, recently our AdSense account was disabled for not complying with the policies. Even if it manages to reach $ 100 before inactivation.
Our blog has more than +8000 visits per day, and 223,000 visits per month, but we did not achieve a good advertising method. All organic searchs, we are a niche page. All our visits are from comic book fans, from Spain, Latinamerica, Mexico or USA. We need the money to be able to buy a Domain and Hosting.
Spanish:
Hola Servando, soy el admin de AzComicsEs.Blogspot.com somos un blog en crecimiento y actualmente estoy buscando opciones de monetizacion, recientemente nuestra cuenta de AdSense fue inabilitada por no cumplir con las politicas. Aunque logre llegar a los 100$ antes de la inactivacion.
Nuestro blog tiene mas de +8000 visitas diarias, y 223.000 visitas mensuales, pero no logramos conseguir un buen método de Advertising. Todas desde Búsquedas Orgánicas, somos una página de nicho. Necesitamos el dinero para poder comprar un Dominio y Hosting.
Servando Silva says
Try some of the top adsense alternatives listed here.
I’d test with Revcontent, Propeller and Adsterra. That should more than enough pay for your server costs with the amount of traffic you’ve got.
Priya Singh says
Hi Servando,
My website is NeilHosting.com
I recently applied for Adsense but they reply with this
As mentioned in our welcome email, we conduct a second review of your AdSense application once AdSense code is placed on your site(s).
We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below
Site does not comply with Google policies: We’re unable to approve your AdSense application at this time because your site does not comply with the Google AdSense program policies or adhere to the Webmaster Quality guidelines. It’s our goal to provide our advertisers sites that offer rich and meaningful content, receive organic traffic, and allow us to serve well-targeted ads to users. We believe that currently your site does not fulfill this criteria.
Here are some recommendations to help you improve the user experience on your site and comply with AdSense criteria:
It’s important for sites displaying Google ads to offer significant value to the user. As a publisher, you must provide unique and relevant content that gives users a reason to visit your site first.
Don’t place ads on auto-generated pages or pages with little to no original content.
Your site should also provide a good user experience through clear navigation and organization. Users should be able to easily click through your pages and find the information they’re seeking.

The Google AdSense Team
What is the reason?
Servando Silva says
It seems like they don’t like your site so far or it needs more content and time before they approve it.
mohamed deyane says

Aditya says
Hi, I have opened up a website which is running a healthy competition.

Adsense’s policy doesn’t comply with that. So my Adsense isn’t activating. What do I do?
Also, most of my traffic is directed from Facebook and Instagram.
Help me out, please.
Servando Silva says
Start monetizing your traffic with one of these adsense alternatives.
Mahmoud says

Servando Silva says
You can test 2 or 3 companies at the same time and decide which works better for your traffic.
Kamapala Chukwuka says
Hi Servando,
Thanks so much for this amazing post! I applied for google adsense over 4 weeks ago and still no reply. The traffic on my site is quite low about 20 -30 visits from social media. That said I’m quite new to blogging. Can you please advice me on any other ads company to use while I wait for adsense? My traffic is mostly from the US, India and Nigeria.
Thanks so much
Servando Silva says
If you have a lot from US then apply for Media net. Check the top alternatives HERE.
Gideon says
I applied for media.net and infolink both disapproved my applications don’t know y?
this is the url of the site. kogite.com what else can I do?
Servando Silva says
Media net approves you based on the countries you receive traffic from.
As for infolinks they’re pretty relaxed but they focus a lot on english speaking tier 1 countries. What did they tell you?
alvin munene says
Am just trying to get some alternatives on Adsense because it has been months and still no approval…am looking for alternatives that are not sparmy with a million redirects…
I checked out propellerads but am feeling hesitant as am seeing reviews claiming they have so many redirects any advice
Servando Silva says
Yeah. If you don’t like those ads try Media net and Revcontent.
Kris says
Wow! Nice article! Bro, can you please help me out getting AdSense approved. Why AdSense keeps rejecting me? What’s the problem? Is it because of some posts? AdSense always sends me the same reply after getting disapproved. What can I do? Please help me
Servando Silva says
What is the message they’re sending to you?
Lovet says
Hello Servando,
This is a very informative post. I have a blog and an adsense account but i do not make much from it. In fact, I make almost nothing. I have a tech blog with about 1.5k page views a months. I am trying to increase this number.
I wish to ask what is the best way to monetize my blog with such number of page views and an average of about 40 visitors a day.
Thanks
Servando Silva says
For which countries are you receiving traffic and what’s the niche specifically?
Okky says
Good
Wisdom Isong says
My adsense account has been temporarily suspended for 30 days. But I planned not to use it again on my website but only on my YouTube channel once I get my account back, I want to know, is this a safe idea.
Servando Silva says
It’s safe as long as you don’t break the rules.
Altamash says
Hey Servando,
Appreciate such a research. I have direct traffic coming to my website from my android app. Adsense rejected me, Tried media.net with low rpm, propeller ads are somewhat intrusive, may be I need cpm based as clicks are rare. Most traffic comes from India. Would be grateful if you share any ideas what I could try next for higher rpm?
Servando Silva says
can you retry applying for Adsense with another website?
Or since you’re getting traffic from your android app, do you have an Admob account?
Altamash says
Thank you for responding. I use airpush in the app. Can u please suggest Any other alternative other than Adsense / media.net/ propeller ads for 20k visits a month, less clicks cpm based?
Servando Silva says
Airpush is good AFAIK. Also try native ads like revcontent, taboola and outbrain to see if you can boost your earnings.
lagu kpop says
pls can i submit another website that is not mine for Google AdSense and track my website after the approver my website url us.
You can use a second website of your own for the approval and then run ads in all of your websites, but you need to OWN the website or ask somebody who has a website like a friend to validate it for you in his website.
I just want to know is chitika paying through paypal??
Servando Silva says
Yes, Chitika pays through paypal.
Emmanuel says
pls can i submit another website that is not mine for Google AdSense and track my website after the approver my website url us.
Servando Silva says
No, you can’t.
You need to own the website so you can add the code and validate it with Google.

Almost all webmasters use Adsense to monetize their traffic.But are also good alternative to use for your traffic.Tribaladnetwork is a cpc ad network that pay also for conversions and have a decent cpc rate.

Natalie says
Hi Servando
This post was an eye-opener for me. Thank you! I’m very new to affiliate marketing (+- 6 weeks in) and have furiously been building out a website that I’m proud of. Yesterday I got rejected by Google Adsense. I’m so enjoying all this stuff and have put in a lot of work so I’m quite sad.
The rejection letter mentioned “Adult Content” – my site is for midlife women’s fitness in body, soul and spirit, and I myself am quite conservative, so this was a shock. There is no content on there that I’m ashamed to show my children… I think that maybe some of the fitness pics, or my banner was deemed “adult”. No idea. Also, I’ve been researching this to try and make it right, and short of changing the entire look and feel of my site, I think I may be wasting my time of ever being approved by Adsense. I say this because of my domain name which I can’t change: maturewomanfitness.com. I’m thinking that they may think my site is a porn site with the word “mature” in it, which to me just means “advanced in years and wisdom” 🙁
Do you think they would reject me merely on the basis of domain name, even if I take out any remotely “provocative” gym pics? Which of your recommendations above would be the closest alternative for me?
Thanks for you expert advice in advance.
Servando Silva says
Hello Natalie.
You can always apply later. there can be many reasons but the domain name certainly looks like one of them. Adsense has been very hard to get approved lately, but once you have more content or articles you can try again later.
Mature content is normally referred to adult content, so I suspect it’s the reason and not your gym pics which don’t seem to be provocative at all.
Meanwhile try some of these alternatives, especially number 2.
ella says
is propeller ads good? are the good to mixed with adsense? or propeller ads plus media.net? please help me
Servando Silva says
Propeller is good although I wouldn’t mix it with Adsense unless you know how to deal with them. Their ad solutions are very different.
Media net is very similar to Adsense though.
aftab says
Good Information you shared
just want to know if i have more then 50,000 or 100,000 Social media traffic in a month
is chitika is good for me?
because i always worry about google adsense ( if blocked )

Servando Silva says
They have been paying me fine for the last 4 years, every month.
So far no problems with them.
Vic says

Servando Silva says
Hey Vic.
Maybe you should try quickly creating another website with a few posts that looks good for them and get your account approved there first.
Andru says
Hey broth,
thanks for the helpfull information.
Sorry about the capslock, don’t know what’s wrong.
Any way,
Any idea about a reliable ads partner for my android apps?
Servando Silva says
It’s just the theme fonts man. No caps. Don’t worry.
Yes man. If you have apps try Airpush, Admob and Inmobi.

James says
Hi, can you use Chitika Together with Adsense in one website?
Servando Silva says
Yes, you can.
Sudheer kumay says

John says
So when you say you are using Chitika and adversal, were you using them at the same site or different sites? My question is, can i use both of them on the same blog?
Thanks
Servando Silva says
You can use them at the same time, but I wasn’t.
Luis says
Hola servando, muy buen artículo, tengo una consulta:
Que empresas me recomiendas para un sitio viral en español, con tráfico de fb ads de países hispanos, incluido españa y USA, que sea compatile con fb ads. Mi adsense esta baneado. Gracias.
Servando Silva says
Compatible con FB Ads directamente casi ninguna. Siempre hay problemas de algún tipo pero es el riesgo que hay. Yo uso PropellerAds.
Chris says
hi, I had stop using chitika for about 8 months and decided to start using again, My user name and password still work but after placing the ads on my website i get an error code whenever i click on the ads ((( Something has gone wrong and we are unable to forward you on to the merchant/advertiser you were interested in.
This is not your fault. If you see this error repeatedly though, please contact Chitika support . Be sure to mention the time of day, and this reference number:
729b2e52d04d77f442a9b5713c7f088d
Sorry for the inconvenience! )) Do you have any idea how to fix this or any advise
Best regards
Servando Silva says
So… did you contact Chitika support?
Chris says
yes i did on friday but i didn’t get an answer as yet
Ian Brown says
Hi,
I have been searching online how to make money from a website and came across your posts which are a good ready. I’m not that good with tech or savvy to pick what would work best for our website. I am currently looking to increase traffic and page 1 google rankings with Fiveer but cant seem to find the right people to help with what I need to progress.
My blog site currently gets around 25,000 hits per day but hopefully this will grow hopefully once I get advice on a few tweeks. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to help me to find out what would work best and how to implement it.
Thanks for your time its appreciated.
Servando Silva says
Fiverr won’t help you get better rankings, honestly. You need to do a good SEO job and $5 is not even close to doing something bad.
I don’t give personal coaching at this point so I can’t really go on a site by site basis.
Chandra Zheng says
You’ve Inspired me!
But I have some question, I have a traffic that referral from Facebook ( around 200 a day unique visitor ) and It’s Indonesia Website.
I’ve already applied Google Adsense and not get a good response…
Is that good for me to use Chitika or Adversal?
Servando Silva says
Yes. You can use that traffic for other networks without problems. Adversal might not accept you if you don’t have enough traffic though, but the rest of the networks are fine.
Rajendra says
hey bro first of all i would like to thank you for this incredible post. i have a indian tech/hacking related blog having 300 page views per day and all traffic is from google can you tell me which will best for me to monetize my blog.
Servando Silva says
Do you have Google Adsense or not?
asha says
hi,
I have started my website recently in between I lost the hosting of the website due to other reasons. so, I am starting all over again. Can i register now for any of this things you suggested in the goggle alternatives or shall i wait for some time.
There will be any difference in pay depending upon the hosting like self hosting or else someother companies like hostgator, blue host etc hosting our site.
I hope u reply
thank you .
Servando Silva says
Those mentioned companies are self hosted, so I’m not sure I understand your question.
Ray says
Thanks for this helpful post.

Yes, you can.
kunal says
Hello i have blogspot domain with 5000 day traffic from usa so which ad network good for me all traffic come from social media
Servando Silva says
Adversal, Adsense, Mylikes and a few others work great for Social traffic. Is your traffic coming from ads or just social shares?
Bright says
Last month was my first month of trying chitika, and i made 26 usd. At the end of the month, my balance in my dashboard turned to zero, both the Mtd and total earnings are zero. What does it mean? have they sent my payment or what? Or have they cancelled my earnings?
Servando Silva says
It happens to me and it just takes some time to show the earnings again as they update them every month and get added t your balance. Make sure you contact them in case they already made the payment.
Manoj says

Thanks,

Servando Silva says
Yes, you can use Adversal and it shouldn’t have problems. However, I recommend you to test something like Propeller and PopAds from the adsense alternatives list.
nitin says
hey , adversal only signup with publisher who have 50,000 page views per month, then how you make money with adversal . Please let us know
Servando Silva says
I have a lot more traffic than that between several sites.
nitin says

PopAds works great for Indian traffic.
akinola says

Please i want to ask if wp statistics plugin in wordpress is reliable. I have about 11000 visitors and 38800 visits last month
moses yoon says
Hey Servando. Enjoyed the post.
What traffic sources do you recommend for click arbitrage apart to viral content sites?
Servando Silva says
Native Advertising sources seem to be working fine nowadays. Other than that, I’m not sure at this moment.
bright says

arpit says

I heard that pop up ads pays highest money and yes my traffic is mostly social
Thanks
Servando Silva says
What type of ads are you using with RevenueHits? Popunders work great for me.
You could also try any of those: Adsense Alternatives
arpit says
Hi,
I am using banner ads with revenue hits which one of them will suit with low traffic like mine
Servando Silva says
I’d recommend you to test Interstitials and PopUnders too.
T-Roy says
how does this work/ how to you link it with YouTube videos in place of linking YouTube with adsense? Or is it just meant for ads to go on your website/blog and not YouTube. I only care about getting paid from YouTube/ making money from video views.
Servando Silva says
You can’t use those networks with Youtube.
Bilal says
Hello .. I have a huge traffic source .. i want to ask that these alternative networks of adsense allow the copy content on my website ?
Servando Silva says
Most of them won’t have problems with that. Adsense has problems because it’s a Google service, and many people try to rank websites with copied or stolen content.
James says
Hello,
I have an approved adsense account before but suddenly the ads stop displaying on my site and since then my earnings stopped. Please my question is what can be the cause and how i can i resolve this issue for my code to display ads again? Instead of deleting the account and opening another one. Thanks.
Servando Silva says
What happens if you put the ads on any other site? do they show up?
James says
No they don’t show up at all. Please what can i do has the code expired or what?
AKHIL C says
I am not getting an AdSense approval for my blog: http://www.teczoz.com. It says my blog do not comply with google policies, what I should do next? Should I fix all problems and request again, or should go for an alternative? Thanks 🙂
Servando Silva says
You can always start with any adsense alternative, and then apply a few months later 🙂
marcus bello says
Please what kind of ads would you suggest for me, am getting upto 8k views/day from facebook and twitter, adsense banned me? Reply please
Servando Silva says
Hey Marcus. With that kind of traffic I can recommend you to apply for Adversal and at the same time run ads from Revenue Hits/Propeller Ads.
Jeremy Harris says
Hello,
I have a brand new website a little over a month old. I am trying to generate revenue for the site and get a good flow of traffic to it. The current ad system we use is through CPMStar if you are familiar with them. Can you recommend something that might work better or are they good or what do you think? I would appreciate any insight and help.
Thank you!
Servando Silva says
Hey Jeremy. This you try the Adsense alternatives list mentioned in the article?
Jeremy says
I am new to ads and trying to get them displayed on my new company website. I have gone through the setup process for Google Adsense but I am told it is being reviewed but not approved as of yet. I have heard it takes severals weeks is this true? Also I heard with Google Adsense if for example someone is searching for Shampoo then they come to my site it will show ads for Shampoo is this correct? Our site is a news/media/publishing company in the video game industry covering everything nerd related. What would you suggest for me in the current scenario? I would prefer to have an ad system that shows game ads on my site only. Thank you for your help in advanced.
Servando Silva says
It’s true. It can take up a few weeks before they approve you.
Yes, that’s correct too, but that’s fine cause if they are looking for shampoo they won’t arrive to your page.
Ad4Game is a great network but I think they require at least 500,000 visitors per month to accept you. I’d start with Adsense, Propeller Ads or Revenue Hits and then move to other networks when you’ve got more traffic to sell.
Jacob says
Hey, Why infolinks don’t approve my website!
Servando Silva says
You should contact them and ask that 🙂
Bill L. says
I tried the Revenue Hit and within a few hours I was getting complaint of browser hijacks and trojan alerts. I took them down immediately and went back to Adversal.
One of the issues I am having with all networks I’ve tried (including Adversal and Qadabra) is that they have ads that force open the iTunes/Play stores on mobile phones. I had to remove ads from the mobile version of my site because users were complaining and I am losing a big chunk of revenue because of it. Any suggestions for a decent network that post banner ads only?
Servando Silva says
Hello Bill.
I know what you’re talking about.
Honestly, most networks will have those app store/play store ads because they’re doing big revenue at this moment. Some advertisers use landers and some of them just redirect you straight to the app store.
What you can do is talk to your manager on the network and ask them to move your website to another category were app installs don’t get advertised (just tell him this and he will know what you’re talking about). This might have a negative hit on your revenue, just FYI.
I added Propeller Ads Media to my adsense alternatives list and most people have been reporting better ads compared to Revenue Hits. You could try those as well 🙂 but expect some apps to be promoted there too as it’s what’s super hot at this moment in the mobile market.

Hey ! Great article.
i have made a micro niche site with $2 + cpc.
but i don’t have organic traffic(search engine). and my cpc is very low that’s $0.15-$0.20.
but let me know if i have receive visitors form high PR (PR 8 ) and that visitors click on my adsense ad. then what ?
will i receive high CPC or not?
thank you
Servando Silva says
No.
Adsense clicks CPC depends on auctions, search traffic and your content.
Referral traffic will always have lower CPC, and it doesn’t matter if they’re coming from a PR 0 page or a PR 8 page. In fact, PR doesn’t matter that much for Google anymore.

This is really helpful thanks the share.
But does Adversal work well with traffic outside USA?
Servando Silva says
They work better than other ad networks, which is already a plus. Better than adsense? probably not.

Hey ! Great article. I’m thinking of using Tribal Fusion for my website. As I am not getting traffic from search engine. Its all the traffic redirected from my previous site. My website is get 5k hits per day then how much can I make with tribalfusion, adversal, chitika or revenue hits?
Servando Silva says
Tribal Fusion requires 500k monthly visitors to get accepted. Try Adversal and Revenue Hits. You’ll earn good money with those 5k daily hits 🙂

Hello.
i just started with adsenee about 20 days ago, and every day i have around 40k views, but i cannot make more than 200usd day, is another system i can used with your traffic?
Servando Silva says
Have you tried improving your CTR?
If that’s the max you can earn with Adsense (not bad), you want to try CPM alternatives like: Taboola, Tribal Fusion and Rubicon Project.
Rapheal Adedoyin says
Thanks stream-seo for this great advise.
I was banned by Google adsense. Is it possible for Google to reinstate my account again.
Cane Jason says
Servando, thanks for the info. This is my website postsforall.com. I got rejected by google for the 2nd time. So now i want to try something else. Currently i’m getting near about 5k visitor per month. Mostly visitor are from USA (more than 60%) and traffic source is Social Referral (Google plus), Direct, Search Engine.. So can you please check my website and suggest me the best alternative?
Servando Silva says
I’d start with adversal first, as that’s the one earning more money for me and many other publishers.
AKASHA says

Servando Silva says
Have you tried building a tube site and monetizing with CPM alternatives?
I know vimeo allow syou to upload, but don’t know if you can monetize them.
AKASHA says
OHHH THANX HAD NOT THINK OF THAT
ITS LIKE I WILL BE HAVING MY OWN YOUTUBE
Elina Jones says
I’m really impressed about your article,before reading this post I think Adwords is the only way to earn money online and there is no way to earn money if Adsense banned to the website. thanks for this valuable article and I’m going to try alternative methods for my website.
Teodor says
Hi Servando Silva, how much visitors per month you have in sites where used ads from Adversal ?
Servando Silva says
They have a limit of 50k visits per month to get started. I have some sites doing more than 100k visits per month.
Regards!

Hello..
I could say affiliate marketing is the best and easy way to make money on-line for those who got fed up with adsence. Im making more than 20,000 USD per month by only via affiliate sales.
Thanks for the post.
Servando Silva says
Hello!
That’s a really good amount of revenue. Are you doing this with SEO too? Or using paid traffic sources?
Dr. Tubagus says
Hello Servando..
I have using chitika, its bad because my traffic is less from USA.
I wanna try adversal, how if i use Blogspot.com, can it approved?
Servando Silva says
If you have enough traffic to get approved, it shouldn’t be a problem.
rud says
500 user a day from google, pageviews 2000 a day, only earn $ 0,1 from adversal, how can you earn so big
Servando Silva says
Hello. From which countries are you receiving traffic?
Ashley Bailey says
So, Adsense will earn lesser money when compared to other websites if we have a good amount of traffic?
Servando Silva says
It depends on your website and the ad network. Some guys pull very good results without Adsense when they have a good chunk of traffic.
Slaven says
Chitica is really bad. How to make more then 0.02$ per day?
It seems it’s impossible.
Servando Silva says
Try Adversal. Chitika doesn’t work well with countries outside of USA.
Slaven says
But I don’t have 50k per month of visits. What to do?! My adsense is banned.
Slaven says
They refused me with answer about not enough traffic.
Faizan Asad says
hmmm i think you are absolutely right servando the organic or search traffic can increase your revenue
Sam says
Thanks for sharing these. Very insightful. Will try Adversal (First time of hearing) now.
Servando Silva says
Thanks Chinedu.
Glad I helped.
Balazs Hende says
Hey Servando, I haven’t heard about Adversal yet. I’m going to check it. Thanks for the post!
Servando Silva says
It’s been working well for me 🙂
As mentioned, last month I did more than $600, and this month I already passed $400. Still 20 days to go!
Regards.

Dear servando,
I have heard that google get a chance to make a website free with GYBO.com. for one year for Indian. After one year he take charge. So Can I make a website with GYBO and monetize the site with chitika.
Servando Silva says
I haven’t heard about GYBO, but do they allow you to ad codes or scripts for Ads? I so, then Chitika should be fine.
