      I read that media.net is not accepting new users.

    There are no alternatives. And any that people list, although not
    alternatives, will have the same rules as google if they are worth
    anything.

    So, monetize in a different way.

    However, if they are just disabling your sites, then build new
    ones. Huge difference than getting banned yourself.

    use your relatives name to apply for a new adsense account.
    use a different ip address to apply.
    Try fiverr - adsensejust (I have not try it before but you can try.)
    Let me know your result.

    How many sites were you running bro? Something tells me that the major bloggers with recently banned adsense accounts got banned because of running too many sites (in the 100's).

    By the way I just made a thread here about 10 minutes ago about this risk. There are a few posts in here made by these big bloggers after their bans which talk about what they think they should do next. It's in the OP here

      Bah you don't get banned for the number of sites you have...I have several thousand sites and Google's never batted an eye at them.

    You can try chitika which also pays good money but not as adsense.

      Chitika is a sick joke. It pays a fraction of a fraction of what AdSense pays...

      ... And now AdSense doesn't hardly pay anything - way down compared to just 6 months ago across the board... and getting worse by the day (due to "Smart Pricing").

      Private advertising is the way to go. Yes, not as simple as Google AdSense, but WAY more lucrative.

      This article shows you how to do it:

    nothing compares to adsense.

    I hoped Yahoo! or bing would make a good competitor service but never happened

      I have recently tried using Bidvertise, Adbrite, Chitika, and Infolinks on several sites. The amount that you get per click just about pitiful. However, the biggest problem seemed to be that 90% of the ads that are shown are completely non relevant. Some were even the crap ads where the banner said "Congrats, you are the 15,245,859,643 visitor, you won a free iPad".

      With Chitika, sites that averaged .80-$1.00 per click with Adsense went down to 3 cents. 3 CENTS???? lol The ads are also in a format at screams "ADS, DO NOT CLICK" and the CTR is horrendous.

      Bidvertise and Adbrite are about the same, it felt good when I got a click for 11 cents, as most were a few pennies, and some fraction of a penny per click. I did get a warning from Chrome after adding these saying that my site had malware on it. That alone tells you the type of ads that are shown.

      Infolinks seems to do ok for me, I use it with adsense together. Infolinks can be good to compliment adsense, but alone it doesn't seem to generate a lot of income.

      I stopped using Adsense on sites that are basically crap and MFA sites. I only have Adsense on authority type sites.

    I wonder if they are just banning your sites or banning your account altogether. If they are banning yours sites, the chances are that they will ban your account soon if you have other sites like those in your account. I would review your other sites first if your account is still active.

    No CPC networks pays anything near to Adsense. There are some CPM networks that pay higher than Adsense for some sites but they are extremely hard to get into. e.g. Burst Media, Casale Media, and Tribal Fusion.

    I don't think it is the number of sites that matters but the quality. Someone with a large number of sites is more likely to use scrapping or auto-blogging than others. Basically, they are much more likely to run thin MFA sites.

    I read that an ex-Google employee claims Google arbitrarily bans AdSense accounts and only returns 3% of the "invalid click" costs back to its advertisers.

    This sounds true because I know a LOT of AdSense site owners who have done absolutely nothing wrong, then out of no where they get banned. And of course, they lose a ton of money from nonpayment.

    Can anyone confirm this or point me in the right direction about this?

      Any account that receives a sudden spike in traffic is liable to be suspended automatically. This has happened before to a space exploration site that gets a surge of traffic before a launch.

      However, the most awful thing I have heard was that a person was told by Google that they believed him to be innocent. However, they could not let him back in because of continuing risk to their advertisers.

      What this means is that enemy can get your account banned. That is why you must not depend on Adsense as the only source of income. There is no point in gloating when another person's account is banned. Because this can easily happen to you even when you are totally innocent.

        Actually, there are at least 18 ways to get banned by Google AdSense - and all but 2 of the reasons are just ridiculous.

          There is only one way to get banned from adsense. It's
          called, "Not following the rules."

          Experiencing a spike in traffic is what people strive for.
          It's good to go viral.

          Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

          I love spikes in traffic and the money that comes with
          it.

          Any sensible, veteran of adsense knows that.


          But, very few sensible people ever can talk logical
          about getting banned.

          My gosh people, do you want to actually earn money
          or not?

          You can't control spikes in traffic. The internet can
          go bonkers at any given time for any given topic.

          Sit back and enjoy the ride. I do it quite often.

          Google wants traffic to your site. More paying customers.

          Some days I work harder. SPIKE! Some days I hit the
          right note with the right site. SPIKE! Sometimes I get
          the right visitor who propels a site. SPIKE! Some days
          I make the right blog post. SPIKE!

          Spikes are what get's me up in the morning.

            Yes, of course. But the rules are often unpublished. And many times, they're silly...

            ... One silly rule that gets us banned is clicks from a paid traffic source.

            Can anyone on earth give me one good reason this should get us banned?

            This of course is known as MFA (i.e. Made For AdSense). And I know it's against the Big G's ridiculous rules, but why?

            As an advertiser, I would be THRILLED to pay for a lead that came from a paid source.

            Help me out here, Paul.

    I have been banned before for a sudden surge in traffic to a PSP forum so I know what i am talking about. I was only able to appeal against this successfully through the intervention of a Google staff who was active at WebMasterWorld. But they are much tougher now and some have even been told that Google believed that they are innocent but would not let them back into Adsense anyway.

    To be honest, there are no real alternatives to Adsense, they have a monopoly in the market. If you get banned, the best thing you can do is appeal it through this form, https://support.google.com/adsense/b...peal_form&rd=2

    Before you fill it out, THINK, about what could have lead to an increase in traffic. That's the most common reason why accounts get banned, a spike in traffic and/or clicks. Make sure that you are as truthful as you can be when filling out the form and cross your fingers.

      There is absolutely AdSense alternatives. It's called private advertising.

      And you don't even need traffic to start... AskTheBuilder.com got his first private advertiser for $15,000 with virtually no traffic. That's how he got started.

    I think there is a degree of luck involved there. I don't think ALL websites can easily find an advertiser that will pay $15k for an ad. While with Google Adsense, its easier to make money. With private advertisers its either zero or alot of money.

      I'm not a believer in luck or coincidence.

      I find effort (in a smart way) almost always pays off.

      For example, if you contact other AdSense advertisers and let them know about your alternative, you'll find your "luck" start to improve.
