Top Adsense Alternatives
Google Adsense/Adwords is the #1 choice in contextual CPC advertising for many publishers and advertisers. Contextual refers to advertisements (text, banners, etc.) served by automated systems based on the content displayed on a webpage. For example: a webpage about baseball would be served ads about baseball related merchandise.
Cost Per Click is a revenue model where a publisher receives a monetary value each time a visitor clicks on a supplied ad. Google Adwords is the partner service from which advertisers bid to display their ads on Google search results and/or Adsense publisher websites.
However, there are many other players in this new(ish) revenue model that connect online merchants and advertisers with website publishers. Here we have gathered some of the top alternatives to Adsense:
