AdSense Alternative: Advertising.com

Advertising.com claim that their network reaches over 90% of internet users in the USA and 85% on a worldwide basis which may seem unlikely until you realize that Advertising.com is the ads division of AOL!

Thus, Advertising.com does have considerable business ‘muscle’ (to put it mildly) and are thus able to offer a very wide range of options to a website publisher.

Like most other programs that we are assessing, it is free to join, but, realistically, you can only join at an affiliate level unless you are a very big player in the advertising market!

The bottom line is that, with all of the top 20 advertisers in the USA on their books as customers and 18 offices spread across the world, Advertising.com can afford to be a little picky.

If, for example, you want to sign up for their ‘display’ and ‘channel’ advertising programs, you need a minimum of 2,000,000 impressions per month (65,000 impressions per day)!

Once you qualify, however, you will be a part of a very sophisticated and high tech operation that basically offers every kind and type of website advertising that you could possibly imagine, including pay per click, cost-per-acquisition and even video advertising formats.
