Google AdSense — most probably — is the first name that pops up in anyone’s mind when one is ready to introduce advertisements on one’s blog or website. The reason being it’s the most popular option for generating passive income via online advertisements, it’s backed by Google, and it works reliably for Cost or Pay Per Click (CPC or PPC) based ads. But it doesn’t come without issues.
First of all, it’s relatively hard to get your blog or website approved for Google AdSense. Then, Google’s ad platform has rigorous fraud and other checks, which results in thousands of accounts getting blocked after some months. That’s the reason bloggers and website owners look for alternatives to Google AdSense.
However, it’s not uncommon to find ineffective or scammy services. That’s why I’ve compiled this post to help you find the best ad networks for your blog or website.
