List of Best Google Adsense Alternatives! As we all know Google Adsense is the highest paying Pay-Per-Click (PPC) program in the internet, but it’s not easy to get an approval from Google for Adsense. Your blog/website and Apps must follow all the terms and conditions and Google’ policies in order to have an approval for the Adsense program. Google Adsense Cost-Per-Click (CPC) varies from $0.1 to $100 or more depending on your content or keywords contained in your blog/website.
Google bans thousands of accounts daily due to fraud and illegal activity. Once you get banned from the service, you cannot get an approval for a second account. Even though Google offers the option to reinstate one’s banned account, but it is a lengthy process to get back your account and there is no guarantee that it will be a success. So one should follow the terms and policies very carefully when using Google Adsense.
Let us for now forget about Google Adsense and its strict TOS and policies. If you search in the internet, you will find there are hundreds of Adsense alternatives that offer high PPC and CPM. But before you make that jumpto other alternatives for Google Adsense, it is very important to compare it with other ad networks and to check its reviews.
