There really is no actual answer to this question other than ones opinion. So the answer to this question will be my opinion, not Google's or any other person or company.

Here is my opinion of the best and top 3 alternatives to Google Adsense.

1. AdBrite




AdBrite has three types of ads that both webmasters can sell and buy. These three types of ads are text ads, banner ads and full page ads.

You can control which ads make it onto your website manually or automatically. You will also be able to set the prices that you wish to sell your ad space for. If AdBrite cannot match what your other advertising programmes offer then you can get AdBrite to display ads from your other network (e.g. Burst, Yahoo, etc).

Any visitors to your site can choose to purchase ad space on your website by clicking 'Your Ad Here' next to or below each AdBrite ad. Advertisers will also be able to find your website on the AdBrite marketplace where you will be represented by their busy in-house sales staff.

The minimum payout is chosen by you, if you want you could set the payout as low as $5. Payout ia in the form of cheques.

2. Yahoo Publisher Network

Yahoo accept four ways of receiving payment. $50 is the current minimum amount before payout. This minimum figure is only accepted when Paypal has been selected as the payment type. The other payment types include a cheque, direct deposit or money put into your Yahoo Search Marketing account.

With Yahoo you can filter out your competitors ads so they don't appear on your site. The ads that will appear will be relevant to the reader and the site content.

The publisher network may also help to improve your site with features similar to Google Adsense, such as, a site and web search.

3. Tribal Fusion




Tribal Fusion receives 19 billion impressions monthly and offers the highest CPM rates to publishers.

Requirements for Tribal Fusion are quite strict. Your site must be/have:

  • 2000 unique visitors daily
  • Highly targeted, relevant and regularly updated content
  • An active user base
  • Professionally designed
The minimum payout is $50 net profit and Tribal Fusion pays 55% of all the money secured for your website.

Site publishers can control which ads appear on their site. You can block out competitors domain names and specific ads (e.g. gambling, flashing, alcohol related, etc.).

The sites listed here are in my opinion the best alternatives to Google Adsense although there could be others that I have not included that are just as good as AdBrite, Yahoo Publisher Network or Tribal Fusion. I had to narrow it down to my three top choices and these came on top.
