Leave a Comment
Google Adsense is unarguably the best CPC advertising platform for bloggers and online marketers. Being the product of Google and for consistant good service to its users Adsense has already made a strong trust among the bloggers and online writers who earns a living writing on the web. Many people are earning a good amount of money from Adsense ads and many have chosen blogging and online writing as their day job just because of strong potential to earn money online with advertising. But in every case, not all bloggers get an approved Adsense account from Google to display ads on their website or blog. So, they must look for some alternative for contextual ads on their blogs. But which one? There are many firms which are providing advertising services for bloggers and web developers to monetize his work. But you cannot trust all of them to be legit and you cannot guarantee that you will earn money from its ads because some ad serving companies provide really poor advertises and very low CPC. for bloggers from India, the scenario is worse.
Because, many ad serving agencies largely depends upon the traffic from US and Canada, and you will not earn a good amount unless you get huge traffic from these regions. In this article, I am going to discuss some of the best Ad serving networks for Indian bloggers.

Why you need an alternative to Adsense?

There may be many reasons to choose an alternative to Google Adsense for CPC ads on you website. For example -

You are not able to get an approved Google Adsense account. Google is very much selective in approving its publishers. If your blog does not meet Adsense’s requirements, you will not be able to get your account approved from Google subsequently not getting any ads displayed on your blog. 
Adsense account may be terminated at any time. Google scrutinize the performance of the ads on your website, and if it detects any false click or click frauds on your blog, your account is subject to termination. So, you need another advertising platform.
If you account is about hacking or cracking and related to that kind of information, you are not eligible for an Adsense account. You must not apply for Adsense and look for a good alternative.
If your website is not so old, i.e you have set up your website or blog recently and want to monetize it, but Google will not approve your blog for Adsense ads before it is at least 6 months old. So you need an alternative ad serving platform before you can apply for Adsense. Adsense is also not for bloggers who gets less traffic. You will not get approved from Google unless you have a very good traffic to your blog. 
Adsense does not support websites in Indian languages. So if you are blogging in your own language like Hindi or Bengali or Tamil, you will definitely not get advertising form Adsense. Hence you need an alternative solution to monetize your blog.



What are the best alternatives to Google Adsense for Indian bloggers?


There are many ad serving agencies in terms of delivering a monetizing solution to your blog. But can you make money in the same efficiency form each one of them? The answer is ‘NO’. And you can not simply trust every Ad serving agencies that they will definitely send money to you after you have earned enough. So, when considering to monetize your blog with contextual ads be selective and place the best ads from best provider which turns your traffic into good revenue. As I have mentioned earlier that if you do not have enough traffic from US and Canada, you cannot earn enough form every contextual ads serving company. I have done some research in selecting CPC ad platforms and tried some of them and found some are really useful for Indian bloggers. You may try the following 10 best contextual ad services to mnetize your content.
  Bidvertiser: I have the best experience with Bidvertiser so far. They provide some decent ads to your blog and CPM and CPC is also very good. You can choose from templates like 728x90 leaderboards or 468x60 banners to 320x320, 125x125 and other sizes of ad units and place them anywhere you wish in your blog. They provide good advertises for traffic from India which could easily attract your visitors and you can expect a decent amount of clicks. Hence increasing your revenue.

 Chitika: Many people claim Chitika to be the most neighboring competitor to Google Adsense. They provide advertising solutions to a large number of online publishers. But for me, Chitika was not a pleasant experience. At least for Indian visitors. When Chitika does not find a relevant ad to display in your area, it displays some bogus text links to some website or search engine which is not really attractive and you visitor may feel your website to be not attractive. But if you have a large visitor base from countries like US and Canada, you can earn a good money from Chitika. And many Indian publishers also recommend Chitika as they might have earned a decent amount of money from it. Chitika payout is also less. It has a payment threshold of $10 via PayPal or $50 via cheque. You may try Chitika also.
  TribalFusion: Tribal Fusion is another high paying ad network program. This ad network pays high CPM and CPC amount but their requirement is also very high. To get approved to Tribal Fusions ads publishing program, your website must have at least 500,000 visitors per month. If you have a high amount of visitors to your site and very good user base but you are not earning enough money, you can try Tribal Fusion. They consider your sites design, and content when approving your account. Certain contents like drug promotion, sexuality, pornography etc. are not allowed.
  Yahoo Bing Contextual Ads: Yahoo Bing contextual ads is a good contextual advertising platform and is powered by media.net. They provide good CPC and you can earn a decent amount with this platform. But they also have some requirements to be fulfilled before you are approved as a publisher. You can add customized advertising from Yahoo Bing contextual advertising program and boost your revenue. You can go to the website and check for the requirements yourself.
  BySellAds: BySellAds is another popular advertising solution among bloggers and web publishers. Unlike other contextual advertising networks, using BySellAds, you can directly negotiate with the advertisers. You can put an area of your website for advertising and if some advertiser likes to put ads on your place, he may contact you and you can set your price. A good alternative to direct banner advertising.

Final Words from Editor:

No ad networks are really huge money makers unless you write great content on your website or blog. And for Indian bloggers, if one ad network is good and making money for me, it may not be the case in your case. it may totally fail to make money for you. Making money from advertising depends upon the content in your blog, the visitors you are getting and the ads you are being served with. So my personal suggestion is do a research using one or two ad network on your blog and if it is not making good money for you, then dump it and try some other. There you may meet your luck. But if no ad network is making money for you then quit blogging and join an academy for a degree in blogging and SEO. I'm just kidding. Keep trying and writing great content and when it will be worthy to make money from your content, you will definitely make money from it.
