Top 100 Ad Networks - AdSense Alternatives

[Florin O.]

Direct means Publisher > Advertiser.
If that's Publisher > Ad Network > Advertiser it's not a direct ad.

Direct campaigns: We have campaigns only from our advertisers, not use any ads from other platforms.

You are an ad network. It says on your site, your domain, and your company name.
Direct ads are when the website has ads from the specific advertiser, not through an ad network.
If the ad network is involved, providing technology to serve ads and taking cuts from spent and revenue - this is not direct ads.

Can someone recommend best network for USA?

Can someone recommend best network for USA?

They all will pay the highest rate for USA traffic since its Tier 1 traffic.
There are no best or worst networks as each network as well as site work differently and getting good results is part of the optimization process. If earning doesn't look good this does not mean that the network is bad.

Anyone got monetized traffic for Slovakia? Which network would you recommend?

 

[Neaf]

Thanks for the list, I need another network for other Ads besides Banners
And it's good to know there's networks not that far behind Google

Are there any networks that accept a new site without traffic?

If I buy some traffic, what network would accept me right away?

 

[kenzabo]

which ad network pays higher than AdSense?

Literally every ad network, but keep in mind > not every network has 100% fill and not every network has fixed rates, most of the time they fluctuate and depend on specific user.

 

[Jeremy Corbitt]

Thanks for share is media.net is good network...

 

[artistzzz]

This is gold mine for those who have been relying on Adsense.

Reseller means that ad network pulls ads from another ad network when there is no fill.

What do you think about adsaturn and adslop? Looks like they are new and appeared after your original post was posted? Are they worth applying for a new site? Thanks as always!

First of all, thanks to OP for creating this list. It saves doing a lot of research.

Currently I have a news website with 50k visitors daily and growing. I put a lot of money and especially time into it to grow it that way and I'd say the website looks really professional. It's 90% NL traffic.

I'm quite "afraid" to use Adsense only to depend on them, so I'd like to try some other networks first and see how they perform.

Media.net can't be used because they focus on US traffic and Infolinks seem to pay peanuts nowadays.

What is discouraging is that I read that a lot of ad networks are "happy" to ban your account, declare your clicks invalid, followed by keeping the profit. It seems to have turned into their business model. And until that happens you need to wait 1 or 2 months to see if they even pay.

So I'm wondering if anyone have any suggestions for ad networks for EU traffic to save me a headache and a lot of wasted energy? I have nothing against affiliate marketing but it is not a good model to put on a news website since people come there to read info. I'd appreciate it a lot and would be happy to make use of your suggestions! I want to work towards making a living from this.

I am not familiar with these ad networks.
Looks like they have pop traffic, so I would be careful.

Ad networks aren't happy to ban your account. If this happens, in most cases, the same thing happened to ad network and it had to refund the client (advertiser). NET terms are set because it takes a lot of time to evaluate and process traffic data. Think of it as an affiliate payment - you can only be paid after the trial is finished and payment can't be refunded.

How do you monetize your site now?
AdSense shouldn't be the only (single) network on the site, but it's better to use it along with the other ad networks rather than not using it at all. For EU traffic you can try Taboola, but there are a lot of other ad networks from the list that you could try.

I currently do not use any networks at all. My website launched several days ago and I wanted to do some research first. I think I'll wait several weeks until I have some good stats with Google Analytics followed by applying by Taboola and Adsense. I'm hoping for the best, although it shouldn't be much of a problem. I currently have around 75 articles with 1000 words (paid journalists to write them). I see a lot of Dutch newspapers use adnow, it seems they perform nicely with EU traffic as well.
