Thanks

According to their standards, I was receiving "too many clicks per day" or something a long those lines, leading them to think I was paying for clicks. Legitimate or not, I was receiving too many clicks somehow.

It may be hard to believe, but I'd love to show you proof if you don't believe me

Regardless, I've been looking for alternatives to continue to monetize off my blog. Car payments don't coincide well with college tuition.

Thanks

Probably using affiliate offers is the best way to replace your adsense income (obviously depends on the niche though).

Other ppc ad networks really do offer pittance compared to adsense and they've generally got a lot less advertisers.

Thanks for your reply petemcal! My blog is more general than anything.

When you say "pittance", how much lower than adsense are we talking?

I'll take anything decent.

Thanks

I've read quite a few case studies and from memory people were generally reporting only getting about 20% of the income they had through adsense.

Yeah affiliate is the best way to monetize your blog. Adsense was good about 2 years ago, when they first started ban MORE than 75% of the webmasters using them without ANY reason! You should now try something else... But it would be hard if your blog is really on a GENERAL topic

I'll have to create a blog that is more niche related. Thanks for the advise. Any specific affiliate sites to use? Clickbank?

Thanks

Clickbank is okay to get started with, but you'll have more variety with CPA Networks.

Affiliate networks are good. The best affiliate plans are the hidden ones that nobody here is using.

AdSense disabled ad serving to one of my sites... I took it off loads of my sites and ended up making $$ instead of $ a month.

there are many adsense alternative but none will pay you as high as adsense.
they will mostly pay you between 5cents to 25cents per click.
so your other option is go for CPA freebies offer.
if you are getting too many clicks then this could be best for you.

Thanks

What suggestions have YOU worked with, that will NOT pay out by PayPal? (a story for another day)
- Should be easy to implement on a blog
- Should pay relatively well
- Should be flexible to content/clicks/traffic

Yes, I can do research on alternatives, but I'd like to ask WF their suggestions on what they've actually used.

Thanks for your time!

If what you are saying is true: getting too many 'legit' clicks.

then turning to affiliates would be your best bet, try amazon or clickbank etc.

and if you are indeed getting too many clicks, try placing the affiliate banners or link to the places where your ads used to be.

Thanks

Thanks for all your contributions! Do you all mean that through Clickbank, I will make money through PPC on my Ads? Or just redirect to a product to make real money? I'm having trouble understanding what you mean by "Amazon or Clickbank". To sell products and get commission?

Thanks

I do very will with Adsense but once I started doing CPA with my niche sites I started making huge money. If you go after targeted CPA offers and really cater your sites to that offer you can make a killing. Even sites that have minimal traffic can still convert close to 50% of the time. Also with CPA you can put big red arrows pointing towards the offer and crazy things to really push it. Once you start seeing how much more lenient CPA stuff is compared to Adsense you'll have a hard time ever wanting to cater to Adsense again.

Thanks
