Google Adsense was, for quite a while, the only game in town when it came to advertising contextually. Yet today many marketers are showing interest in options other than Adsense to monetize their sites. This is a good idea, even for people who are active with Adsense. That’s because, aside from paying more than Adsense, many of these companies are not nearly as dictatorial and ready to ban you. In this article, we’ll take a look at some viable options for contextual advertising, as well as some more innovative advertising models as well.

One well regarded alternative to Adsense that many marketers favor is Bidvertiser. Quite a few website owners like the many options offered by this advertising platform. What that means is you are free to design how your ads look as well as the dimensions for text ads. You should, however, consider one factor when it comes to how your ads look.

Whether you like the style of Adsense ads or not, they have become extremely familiar to everybody. As with any advertising, you have to try it and test various ads.

If you’re looking for a company with a high payout rate (85% for the time being), you should look into Clicksor.

Obviously that is very attractive and understandably so. Their associated CPC numbers are such that you can actually realize a respectable income from them. That is something that has been lacking with Adsense for so many people for years, now. Like AdBrite, Clicksor also has a good reputation when it comes to dealing with publishers and for not being so ready to ban people. We can, of course, only talk about how things are right now, as policies can always change. Unfortunately, if you’re a smaller or newer website owner, you won’t be eligible. If you have a high traffic website, however, this could be a good choice for you. If they do deem your site worthy, however, you’ll be in the position to have profitable ads on your site.

While you may not have had any problems with Adsense yet, exploring alternatives is still something you should consider. The three we have discussed in this article are hardly a drop in the bucket of what is available to you. If anything, Google has taught the entire internet business culture that it pays to diversify. With Google, you simply never know what to expect, so you want to be prepared.

There is some rumors going on of this new product. Here is a quote:

I’ve read on the Blueprint Central Forums from Steve Clayton himself that they are soon to launch Niche Blueprint 2.0. Later I got an email confirming that Niche Blueprint 2 will be released on January 11th, 2010.
