Best Affiliate Programs Other than Adsense

Those of you who are creating sites know all about the revenue possibilities from advertising. If you’re good enough and put a lot of effort into your SEO practices, you stand to gain quite a lot if you have a solid affiliate. While Google Adsense is quite possibly the best program for advertising out there right now, there are plenty of others that stand toe-to-toe with Adsense, even if satire articles might poke fun at the situation. It’s also a pretty good idea to mix up your programs to harbor the maximum amount of profits. Below you’ll find some of the best affiliate advertising programs out there other than Adense.

1.       Chitika

Try spelling that your first time!

While the name might be a little strange, this affiliate is anything but. They pay very well and offer plenty of advertisements. The best thing about them is that they target your ads based on how it was searched from Google. For instance, if your site was found from the keyword “baseball,” they would post ads that have to do with baseball and things related to baseball. It really is a neat system, and it’s worth a try.

2.       Adbrite

This is another really popular affiliate advertising network. It’s fairly large and has quite a number of different advertisements to show your traffic. Their ads are usually pretty good, and most of them fit the layout of your site well. The only problem I’ve heard from this affiliate is that the ads that get placed on your site don’t coincide with your content; sometimes you’ll get ads when your site is about writing or something. If you don’t mind a bit of randomness with the ad selection, you’ll make a good deal of money with some effort.

3.       Bidvertiser

You can set the amount per ad that you’re looking for, which adds a nice touch to this program. While some of the options to allow advertising freedom to post whatever they please on your site may be confusing, the overall appearance and setup is pretty easy and painless. Their ad tool makes it simple to adjust the size of the ads they provide so you can fit any type of ads on your site.

4.       Yahoo Publisher Network

This is a very new program and is still in the beta stage, meaning it is just being tested out to see if it can work up to standard. Only time will tell, but in their effort to rival Google, we may very well see another large player in the affiliate market. What’s most promising for this program is that Yahoo is a major component for news, entertainment and a variety of other avenues, not including their own search engine. It’ll be good for competition if Yahoo can provide just as good of an experience as Google.

These are just some of the best affiliate programs out there. If you combined your SEO efforts and advertising efforts into one effective strategy, your site will see more traffic and ultimately more profits.
