Google Adsense Alternative - RevenueHits

Another alternative to Google Adsense is RevenueHits. If you have been rejected by Google Adsense or your Adsense account disabled due to invalid activities, do not despair. There are other ad networks alternatives which you can sign up to generate revenues from your website or blogs. RevenueHits use Contextual & Geo targeted Ad Serving technology. Its Performance Base (CPA) Ad Network helps publishers to monetize online assets.

I have signed up with RevenueHits a couple of months ago. Well, it has zero revenue until recently it shows $0.04 in my account. I looked into the report and realised that the normal ad did not generate any revenue. It is the extra tag that is generating the revenue. As you can see in the below table, there is no revenue even when there is click on the banner or button. The real revenue is generated from the extra tag which is the pop-under or bounce. I see the FAQ from the RevenueHits site and it seems that the extra tag was created automatically till you discover it.

RevenueHits report for Placement
I have RevenueHits, Chitika, Infolinks and Bidvertiser in my blogs. So far, I would rate them as:

  1. Infolinks
  2. Chitika
  3. RevenueHits
  4. Bidvertiser
I have zero revenue from Bidvertiser and I'm trying to figure out how to blend in all the above four ad networks. Also, I'm quite annoyed by the pop-up ads and I hope my readers will not be annoyed by this. Drop me your view and comment if you are annoyed by the ads. Thanks.

Google AdSense makes no sense

As soon as you are approved for Google AdSense, Google disabled the account. I started blogging since Feb 2012 and had applied to for AdSense. However, it was not approved in the beginning as one of the requirements to be approved for AdSense is that your blog needs to be at least 6 months old. I had applied for a few times but was rejected. This year at around Sep, Google had approved my AdSense application and I was very excited. However, in Nov, Google disabled my AdSense account due to invalid activities. Of course, they did not provide any reason for that. I appealed but was again rejected. I guessed there is no other way but to accept this. So, now I'm exploring other means of ads networks for generating side incomes. Note that this cannot be your main income unless you are successful in driving 100K per day of page views. Even with this amount of traffic, if the cost per click is low, you may be getting only US$100 per month.

But I must admit that AdSense has the most Page RPM. The below AdSense report showed a US$1041.13 Page RPM and the cost per click was US$2.08. It was very good I must say.

I managed to have around US$31.03 when Google disabled my account. All the money was gone. So there is a lot of uncertainties when you work as a publisher for Google AdSense. Google does not allow you to make any mistake, even if it is not made by you.

Just before I received the Google AdSense Personal Identification Number (PIN), my account was disabled.
