As you are old enough in this money-making industry, you will start to realize that relying on Google Adsense for monetization is quite risky. Not only because you may not get desirable earning from it, but also due to the fact that you will get banned without any reasons. I really mean it, as you may know; I have been disabled by Google several times.
I swear I am an honest publisher than try my every best to follow strictly with the Adsense TOS, report all the invalid click activities to Google once I found them. But then, Google has still disabled for invalid clicks for several times! Gosh, how come an active poster in Adsense Help Group that always remind people not to click the ads himself will click my own ads! Never mind, I get used to it, and don’t misunderstand, I did not get banned yesterday.
The thing I want to show you is that Adsense is only one monetization stream, and in fact there are many more. I have been approached by a Webmaster that wants to rent a space in my site to provide link. Since the price for that is attractive, I accept it immediately. Of course, the price offered is directly proportional to the PR and the number of unique visits of your site. You will get a better offer if your blog is old and popular enough.
If you want to sell your adverting space proactively, I suggest you may go to the marketplaces like DigitalPoint and v7n, where there are hundreds of deal made everyday. Don’t waste all your time on Adsense now; try to sell the advertising space by yourself. In fact, one of my loyal readers, Neo, he also got offered from a webmaster who approached him through email. I sincerely hope he can get a nice offer.
