Facts to consider when selecting non-Google Adsense ads by small publishers or bloggers.

Small publishers, bloggers and Pay Per Click Publishers.
Now a days many people are starting to run their own blog or web sites. Other than the eagerness to show their creativeness and sharing the knowledge, some people need to get some revenue out of these sites. But content wise and traffic wise these sites do not have a higher page ranking.Google adsense is the best advertising program who accept small publishers who fulfill their policy. They accept you to their advertising program much more easily and pays well if you generate good visitors to their advertisers. Other than Google adsense I see a broader two groups of advertising companies.
1. Advertising companies which mainly make partnership with high traffic and established web sites. (Eg. Value click, Casale Media)
2. Advertising companies which are working as adsense alternative to small publishers. (eg. Adbrite, Addynamo, Chitika, Pogads)
Some of the companies provide their service to both of these cohorts and Google adsense is remarkable among them.
Why Adsense alternatives?
As most of us know adsense is the best advertising company to use as your pay per click partner in your web site or blog. But as many of the small publishers are new to the field they can easily lose their adsense account. Google adsense has a very strict policy to protect their advertisers and a newbie using adsense can easily be trapped in to violation of one of their policies. Most of the time this is due to an invalid click activity. I personally know many newbies who got their adsense account disabled due to the mere ignorance about advanced adsense techniques to catch violation of their terms. Google permanently ban their partnership with violators.
As pay per click is one of best method of monetizing your web sites you will be left out with no adsense ads in your site. Now there are many advertisement companies which provide the same service. But they have many plus and minuses in comparison to adsense and to each other.
What are these plus and minuses ?
Many google adsense alternative companies policies, terms of use are not that much strict. Most of the time it is easy to get the approval of them for your site and you have wide variety of options.
But they have many drawbacks too. Following is a list of them.
1. Low pay for clicks - most of the time you get a low payment for clicks
2. Less number of advertisers - So your site may not get variety of ads, at times nothing at all
3. No ads in some countries or locations - Depending on the advertisers interest, your site may not show ads at some geographical locations.
There are many other specific draw backs to each of these companies. Some of them are too bad and they are scams. Some delivers ads which gives many pop ups or viruses to your visitors computer. Some has the bad habit of not replying to publishers questions. Some companies cheat with the clicks you get in your site.
As a result, many small publishers using their services find it very hard to reach the minimum earnings level to get paid. So you may have to run these ads for years to get a single payment. When you have run their ads some time and when you have collected few bugs it is hard to just drop them too. I had the same experience and I was always in search of good adsense alternative which does not have minim earning for payments.
Yes, we all want a compensation for our hard work. Among many other common things like having reasonable pay per click, wide array of advertisement, good customer relationship, child safe and family friendly advertisements, good quality of the advertisements, We as small publishers think of their payment plan.
What should be the payment plan and best option available
I know many of small publishers who have been caught in the trap. They have realized that they are not going to achieve the minimum payments with these ad companies and now they are in re in an ambivalence thinking whether to continue or discontinue.
Recently I signed up with one new ad company called Mountain view clicks and It addresses many of the draw back we had with other adsense alternative services. They pay monthly and no minimum earning level for the payments. I was running their ads in one of my low traffic site with my disbelief and i was surprised to get a payment on my paypal account at the very beginning of my second month in partnership with them. From then onwards I have been introducing this ad company to my friends who were in dark searching for a good adsense alternative. ou
if you were the same you can check it out here and if you are not satisfied with their earning you can at any time remove their advertisements and still get the payments for what you have already earned. On the other hand even though they are relatively new they have a wide array of advertisements which pays well.

Thanks for sharing this.I was having the same troubles with non-adsense companies.This is a great article and Iam definitely going to try this. It is always better if e have 2 ad companies running ads in the same site. As I understand Adsense now promote running parallel ad net works. So I will be allocating a little space of my site to this monthly paying , no threshold ad network.
