Alternative to Google Adsense

+4
−4

I'm starting a small site with some online tools. Tried to include Google Adsense but I initially got rejected because the site was still on construction.

Yet I've seen in the forums that they are rejecting many small sites or sites that are like other sites already doing the same thing, because they don't consider them "of value". I will be finishing my site these days and I really didn't want to start without some kind of ads in it.

If I get rejected again, can you recommend some alternative to Google AdSense ? Thanks.

Edit

For those that don't know Google's product AdSense, it's an ads viewer. There's a small code that you can put in your site/blog/whatever and it shows ads, monetizing the page.

Here are 2 examples of sites with AdSense ads:

https://www.catforum.com/threads/my-cat-bee-is-a-lynx-point-siamese-cat.400959/

What I want is just to monetize the page. I have lateral columns and horizontal spaces in my site that I want to substitute by ads.

What is AdSense?
Olin Lathrop‭ wrote over 2 years ago

Define what you want, not what specific product you want that many here don't know. Also, this doesn't seem like a user-level question in the first place, although maybe it is valid depending on what this AdSense thing is supposed to do.

Included a description of what is Google AdSense

About being a user-level question, depends on how you see it. A blogger that uses only a Wordpress site can include code for AdSense. But a developer can also use it when developing a site. The product per-se isn't user or developer level. The use you make of it may not be user level, but it can also be.

I am inclined to agree with Olin Lathrop‭. To me this is off-topic, because the question boils down to "how to monetize a web page?" and I wouldn't call it a survey of software, but of third-party services to do so — after all one could always easily put up his own first-party ads ("selling this car, contact: +91 019109371").

Any idea where can I ask this ? Software Recomendations from StackExchange failed also.

Perhaps you will have more luck in Reddit. From this list there seems to be some Subreddits where this would be on topic. Good luck!

Good idea. Will try.
