How many times have you applied for AdSense account and got rejected?
It could be several times or more. Maybe, you are still struggling to get approved by AdSense.
Most of the new bloggers apply for AdSense many times and become disappointed after getting rejected by AdSense. But AdSense is not the only advertising network for publishers. There are a lot of ad networks that share a decent amount of revenue to their publisher.
To be honest, AdSense is still the best Advertising Network. But I believe ‘Something is better than nothing’. That’s why I am going to share some AdSense Alternatives (2018).
If you are one of them who didn’t get approved by AdSense or got banned by AdSense, then you can try the following networks. You can also use these networks along with AdSense to increase your revenue. Let’s check the top 5 alternatives first.

Note: This post is about the other Ad networks that can be used as an AdSense alternative. If you are looking for other alternative ways to make money rather than using AdSense, then read this post. Now let’s see the complete list of AdSense Alternatives for Bloggers In 2018.
Let’s dive into more details of these ad networks.
1. Media.net
Media.net is a leading contextual advertising company which is powered by Yahoo! Bing Network. It is considered as the best AdSense alternative. Because of having tons of advertisers, it works great with every niche. Big brands like Forbes, Elle, REUTERS, NY Times, WebMD etc. use Media.net to increase their revenue.
Ad Types: Contextual Ads, Mobile Ads, In-Content Ads, Display Ads, Interstitial Ads.

2. Amazon Native Ads
Amazon Associates is the world’s largest affiliate program. The great thing about the program is, it has an advertising program named “Native Shopping Ads”.
The way it works is a little bit different from AdSense. While AdSense pays you for clicks or impressions, Amazon Native Ads only pay you for sales. As Amazon is the world’s most popular and largest eCommerce site, it’s not that much tough to get sales from Amazon.com.
Amazon Native Shopping Ads show highly relevant product ads in stylish and responsive design to help you to earn more.
Ad Types: Recommendation Ads, Search Ads, & Custom Ads.
Payment Methods: $100 (Payoneer, Check)
3. Bidvertiser
Bidvertiser is a direct advertising site that could be an excellent AdSense alternative if you didn’t get Adsense approval or got banned. It offers instant approval. You can monetize your site within 5 minutes with BidVertiser.
The way it works is a little bit different from Adsense. While Adsense shows Ads based on context or visitor’s interest, it creates a bidding system that allows the highest bidder to advertise on your blog. Initially, you won’t be able to earn much revenue as it takes some time to get your site found by Highest bidders. So stay longer.
Ad Types: Native Ads, Pop Under, Domain Redirect, XML.
Payment Methods: $10 (PayPal, Payza, Wire Transfer, & Check)
4. Infolinks
Infolinks is a bit different from other advertising networks. It shows innovative ads based on user intent. You can monetize your all traffic with its advanced and unique ad units. Infolinks even monetizes the unused ad spaces.

While other Ad networks pay based on CPC or CPM, BuySellAds pays for direct advertisement. It works as a middleman between advertiser and publisher. And it charges 25% of the transaction.
However, it’s tough to get approved by BuySellAds. You need to have a good amount of traffic to get approval. So if you are still struggling with AdSense approval, don’t try BuySellAds. Getting BuySellAds approval is tougher than AdSense. But it’s a good compliment for AdSense.
Ad Types: Banner & Text.
