Top 5 Ways to Make Money Without AdSense

By Ammar Ali 67 Comments

Is your AdSense account disabled or you don’t have any? Why should you blog if you can’t make money from it using AdSense??

I know you are thinking the same as I mentioned above. But to be honest I don’t like AdSense too much that’s reason I removed AdSense from this blog. But if your don’t have AdSense than you don’t need to worry about that as today we are discussing top ways to make money without AdSense. (You can also check our updated 10 proven ways to generate income without AdSense.)

make money without adsense

The dominance of AdSense in the ad serving market has seen it assuming tyrannical stand with the rejection rate for ad publishing applicants deplorably higher. However, with a plethora of other earning options available, there is no cause for heartbreak for gullible users.

We discuss top five sparkling alternatives to make money without AdSense here. ;)

Make money through Affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing can become a veritable cash cow if capitalized upon ethically. One is required to promote the products of merchants or entrepreneurs and bag a handsome commission on each sale made at an attractive 20-70% depending upon the financial strength of the merchant. Superior quality products with strong brand presence, credibility and potential to deliver what is promised should be vigorously promoted through blogs, writing high quality articles, building a massive email list, participating in discussions on serious forums and writing product reviews. Low quality products should never be promoted through spamming and illegal blackhat techniques or one will face serious loss of reputation with fatal repercussions.

Make money selling ad spaces

Blogs dedicated to promoting high end products are sure to attract the attention and interest of marketers who would like serious audiences for their products on their sites. Selling banner ad spaces on blogs for a niche product with promise of diverting good amount of organic traffic will bring one a handsome chunk of income. The share of revenue will be comparably higher than AdSense as Ad networks sell the advertising space on blogs at about a whopping discount of 90% to marketers owing to profuse amount of selling space available with them. The potential advertiser should be allowed to offer their best price to fetch higher revenue and make money without adsense.

Use OIO Publisher plugin for WordPress to sell ad spaces with ease.

Make money Using Best Adsense Alternative

If you don’t have AdSense the next possible option to make money is to use AdSense alternatives. There are many ways to make money without AdSense. The alternatives of AdSense may not be as good as AdSense but they do pay some really good amount of money. I have used the following websites as alternative and found them to be a great one. Signup with following websites to make money using ads.

Here are best adsense alternatives that pays!

  • Media.net
  • Bidvertiser

Make money by Writing Paid Reviews

Millions of people across the globe read blog posts every day. A company can generate tons of qualified traffic and have the spotlight on its products when it pays for paid reviews to be posted in context sensitive blogs pertaining to their niche products. This triggers word of mouth advertising, enhances link popularity, brand credibility and product exposure and also provides a chance to understand peculiar consumer tastes and behavioral trends. Ultimately the product page experiences a significant rise in search engine rankings. The companies pay handsomely to have their reviews covered in blogs with significant number of qualified visitors. One can earn amounts equivalent to that of AdSense and this is slowly turning out to be a better alternative to make money without adsense.

Here are best websites you should join to get paid reviews offers quickly.

  • ReviewMe
  • PayPerPost

Make Money by Using In Text Ads

Publishing ‘In text ads’ on your blog by invoking the services of Infolinks will help in monetizing the site with highest revenue share from contextual in text ads. Only relevant ads are delivered which essentially improves the conversion rate and boosts the earning potential. You can join following sites to monetize blog using in text ads;

  • InfoLinks

The pay per click ads can be easily integrated in the site and bring about a jumpstart in your earning and a new opportunity to make money without adsense.

    People do say this Adsense is thing of past, but is not, it is just getting better. It does look intriguing, but I am not sure that by just relying on trying to make money by selling ad spaces and affiliate marketing could actually replace your passive income source from Adsense.
    Yes Adsense policies have become strict and it has become hard to make money from Adsense, but it is a genuine source of income and you could still make a fair amount of money by working a bit harder, and for a longer period of time.

    I had approved account of Adsense on my name but I was inactive on blogging from so far. So I have google account associated with that Adsense account.

    Now I am back into blogging but google doesn;t allow me to register with new adsense account with the same name.

    Can you please let me know how can I signup for AdSense again with my name (same name) again?

    First and second time i even did not have any privacy policy, about us page. and my domain is still 4 months old.
    but on 2nd approval they disapprove.
    i dont know whats happening.
    all publishers to whom i applied to gave me approval, but still my mind is saying “Go for Adsense”.
    i dont know why.

    People like we, makes the Google Ad Sense much popular. Otherwise at initial stage almost no traffic people were getting account approved and their was no banned policy. With the power of huge companies starts exploitation low traffic people so never think that blogging is nothing without Ad Sense. Actually you feel free to blog without Ad Sense ads, it creates a situation that you are not the owner of your blog.

    Google adsense is very prone to getting banned. For it, all bloggers should be as smart as you and start setting up other alternatives as a way to earn money through blogging
    Using this way, if one day getting banned from google adsense we can still make money with the alternatives that have been prepared

    Excellent Summary with easy explanation All point of this article are valuable & useful. To be successful with Google Adsense it is important to pick niches that you are actually interested in. You will quickly run out of blog post ideas if you don’t really care about the subject matter. If you can come up with niches you really care about, you will be posting on a regular basis. Visitors and Google will soon follow.

    Well posting paid reviews would not be a good alternative, especially after Penguine update as Google bots easily recognizes paid links. I think affiliate marketing is the best alternative to adsense, and some even prefer it over adsense. And also direct advertising esp. BSA is the best network for making good money through direct advertising.

    Here is a work around, sign up for SocialSpark platform, and you can leverage their Ads marketing. This is basically Google AdSense ads using their platform (not your AdSense account) you get pretty good CPC/CPM rates, almost as much as hosting AdSense yourself and they are AdSense ads plus advertiser direct purchasable. Highly recommended, only issue is you can only do 1 banner on a site and it must be above the fold.

    Affiliate ads are the best as they do not want any traffic nor any ranking they just want their sales and we want our money. So it is better than any other.
    And google alternatives are not much better as no one is better than the best.
