Found a good adsense alternative!

[Adam Dicker]

Dnforum.com switched off adsense for a more lucrative program. If you have a targeted site that is not producing enough off adsense use this below.

details below:

Dnforum never did that well with adsense but I have found another company that makes quite a bit from affiliate sales using clickbank products. I still use my adsense account for other sites but this is a great alternative.

I though I would post it here since so many are always looking for an great adsense affiliate. Your ads can look exactly like adsense if you wish.

An yes it is a free service, has some benefits too, if you change your ads target in the backend, it changes it live on the site automatically. You can also target your ads by a keyword or subject you put in manually.

The signup link is below, enjoy!

It does sound interesting, checking it out now. Thanks!

Any problem with using both? Looks like they focus more on explaining the pyramid process (like mlm) than they do the keyword ads and payment rates.

Is there some sample pages that show what would be dsiplayed with any particular keyword, and what is earned per click, or is this pay per sale only?

It is per sale, I have used it on other sites and it does make more money than adsense as one sale can earn between $20 and $70.

The ads are displyed at the end of this thread in the yellow box.

Sign up, with this link and then login and go to script builder in the top menu, you will then see all the ad styles and how it is configured.

Very easy takes 2 minutes to learn and certainly worth a try.

If you have sufficient traffic, it might be worth experimenting with www.quigo.com ("AdSonar"). I found the results mixed -- higher per-click values, but lower clickthrough rates (as have others, on other forums). Depending on how those 2 change relatively, you can be better or worse off.

DCG, I was told in the rules that we cannot share affiliate/referral links! =p I guess you are the exception though =p d

[cyphix]

Thanks.... I'll check it out!

Hmm..... I tried out their "auto-sensing" thingy & I can say I don't like it very much..... not recommened for use with forums where the start of the title is usually the same... I end up getting pretty much the same ads on every page no matter the title, as it seems it doesn't pay much attention to anything in the title past the first few words.

It is against Google's TOS to use Adsense on the same page as another context advertising service.

I do not believe that is correct.

Competitive Ads and Services

We do not permit Google ads or search boxes accessing Google search services to be published on web pages that also contain what could be considered competing ads or services. This would include ads that mimic Google ads or otherwise appear to be associated with Google on your site. If you have elected to receive content-based Google ads, this would also include all other content-targeted ads. If you have elected to receive Google search services, this would include other search services on the same site and non-Google query-targeted ads. We do allow affiliate or limited-text links.

Looks quite cut and dry to me.

[David G]

IMO they are referring to ads which compete directly against adsense, i.e. ads saying use Overture rather than Adsense, or use Yahoo instead of G., or making ads for a different service which mimmicks adsense, or perhaps confuse the user into thinking it is adsense.

The above is also the opinion of many others. The G TOS is commonly misunderstood on several issues.

P.S. A key term is their wording re search services. An ad from someone else does NOT use their search service.

[OgieOgalthorpe]

The safest thing would be do send them an email and ask the question.

But their FAQs also tackle this subject:

Can I sign up if I am already a part of an ad network?

Yes. However, we do not permit Google ads to be published on web pages that also contain what could be considered competing ads. This would include all content-targeted ads as well as text-based ads. Text-based ads, for this situation, can be loosely defined as ads that mimic Google texts ads or appear to be associated with Google text ads on your site. We do allow affiliate or limited-text links.

......loosely defined as ads that mimic Google texts ads or appear to be associated with Google text ads on your site. We do allow affiliate or limited-text links.

I feel the above fully confirms what I earlier said, that you are in fact allowed to have most other PPC or PFP programs running on the same web-pages. Also know from first-hand experience it is OK without going into detail on how I know that. The problem is their TOS language is not easy to understand.

Anyone else have opinions on it, or is it only Ogie and myself?

[Stinos]

Will check it out!

[David G]

Keep in mind my view of this may not be correct. There are many opposing views on the issue, and Ogie may in fact be correct. I wish G would make the TOS clearer on it.

[OgieOgalthorpe]

Its best to ask them.

I asked them on behalf of a client site we developed a similar question a long time ago, the response was ...
"It is explicity against the Google AdSense Programme Terms for you to publish Google ads and other context sensitive advertizements on the same web page. This would lead to the cancellation of your Google ads account."

Thanks but judging by the way the word 'programme' is spelled it sounds like the reply from the G UK Office. It's always possible the rep who replied may not understand the TOS language, especially with US and UK terminology variances.

could be it was about a uk site - sadly i had the email which i fwded to the client, but not the original email from google with the headers to see if it came from .uk or .com - wrong spelling (z instead of s) on adverts though !
