When it comes to online advertising, nothing beats Google Adsense. If you strictly adhere to their guidelines and TOS you can make good money (and sometimes even huge money) from Adsense. Adsense success stories are not surprises anymore. But if Google detects any click fraud or violation of their TOS then they WILL ban you forever from the Google AdSense (without even hearing your version of the story). If you have been banned from Google Adsense, do not give up all hope yet… because there are many alternatives to Adsense. I have compiled a list of AdSense alternatives which are worth trying......
The list is not extensive and will be updated from time to time.

Oxado- Smart Matching System
As regular readers will know I'm always on the lookout for viable alternatives to AdSense for those who have had the misfortune of falling foul of Google's rules or have a site with prohibited content. One great alternative that I've come across is Oxado.
What is Oxado:
Just like the other contextual ad networks Oxado serve ads based on your site content. This means your visitors see relevant content-related ad units and are more likely to explore them by clicking.
What types of site does Oxado accept:
Oxado accept pretty much any type of site. Unlike most other pay per clicks they will accept adult sites. When a publisher signs up to Oxado they have to generate new ad zones for each of their site(s). Oxado checks and approves all of these zones, generating a unique ad code for each one. Publishers can easily submit new ad zones for approval if they wish to use Oxado on additional sites.
How do Oxado publishers earn:
Oxado publishers receive a small payment, typically 5-50 Euro cents, each time a genuine visitor clicks an ad unit on their site. What makes Oxado slightly different from other pay per clicks is that publishers also receive commission if their referral subsequently goes on to make a purchase - a system called cost per action in the industry.
How does Oxado pay:
Responding to publisher feedback Oxado has also improved its payment options to include PayPal and Moneybookers in addition to the long running bank transfer system. Payment is made at the end of the month in which a publisher accumulates 100 Euros in their account. If they don't earn 100 Euros then their balance is rolled over to the next month.
Something else that Oxado do is send publishers a monthly itemised break down of ad zone earnings. Of course publishers can sign into their account and check their earnings at any time.
Is there a referral program:
Publishers earn 10% lifetime on the earnings of anyone else they refer to Oxado. This is very generous compared to most other PPC referral programs.
How to join Oxado:

Clicksor - Webmasters Affiliate Programs
What is Clicksor?
Clicksor uses contextual advertising technology to deliver ads that are relevant to your website content, allowing your visitors to enjoy the content of the website while you gain additional earnings.
Is it free to join?
It is absolutely free. But Websites that contain information including but not limited to warez, rom, emu, newsgroup postings, and SPAM emails will not be accepted.
Types of Ads:
You may choose from a wide variety of ad formats, including pop-under, inline text links, text and graphical banners. Clicksor offers two options for contextual PPC – keyword or channel matching. If you chose Keyword Match, your ad’s keywords will be underlined, and as a visitor hovers over the keyword, a text banner appears describing your product/service. The user is taken to your website if they choose to click on the text banner or keyword. Channel Match works similarly, but concentrates more on the context of your website than keywords you have chosen in placing your ad on search results pages.
Payment:
All payments are made bi-weekly, usually on the 1st and 15th of each month. You may select to receive your payments by check or Paypal with a minimum payout of $50. Revenue totaling less than the minimum payout amount will be rolled into the following period. They claim that a publisher can get paid upto 70% of advertising revenues generated by the website, although it depends on geographic levels and overall traffic levels.

AdBrite - The Internet's Ad Marketplace
AdBrite is a very good alternative to AdSense - it's what I normally recommend to anyone who has been banned from AdSense, but you can now use AdBrite alongside AdSense too.
For anyone who hasn't heard of AdBrite,
"AdBrite is the Internet's Ad Marketplace, , giving advertisers and publishers more transparency and control"
Registration and Acceptance:
It is very easy to get accepted into AdBrite - simply complete the online application form, submit your site to the directory, place your ad code and away you go. They don't have any strict PageRank or traffic requirements like other programs. AdBrite is open to publishers from all over the world.
Directly Purchased Ads:
After registering you can submit your sites to the online AdBrite directory. If an advertiser likes your site they might buy a link from you. You can price your own links, but I always select the automatic pricing because it's easier. Once you’re up and running, your publisher dashboard will give you all the latest detailed information about every single ad that’s run on your site. You can also choose the duration of the ads you wish to sell. In addition to text and banner ads, AdBrite offers other options like Full Page Ad, BritePic, Inline and InVideo ad types.
Payment:
Payment is on a NET-60 basis - For example, earnings from March 2007 will get paid out in May 2007. If your revenue does not meet your minimum check amount, that revenue will automatically roll over to the following month. The default minimum check amount is $100, but you can set it as low as $5. You can view your earnings by month, by ad zone, and by ad format, and also find out when your most recent check was processed.
Summary:
AdBrite is a very good alternative to AdSense. Since January 2007 it is now possible to display AdBrite on the same pages as AdSense, as long as the competing ad formats don't look confusingly similar. If you want to earn a little extra money after being banned from AdSense then AdBrite is the program for you.

WidgetBucks: the Internet's fastest growing ad network
I've been keeping a close eye on this new starter for the last month or so. WidgetBucks is getting good reviews from a lot of people at the moment - let's have a look and see why:

WidgetBucks is a promising new semi-contextual advertising program. Their attractive widgets advertise material goods of relevance to the website on which they are placed. Payment is earned either on a per click or impression basis, depending on where the traffic originates from.

What do WidgetBucks ads look like?:
Just like this:
The ad size and colour can be customised to blend in with your site. Remember that the ads are dynamic so they will cycle through a range of different products during each impression.
What does WidgetBucks pay?:
WidgetBucks pays in two ways - for clicks from North America (CPC) and for impressions from elsewhere (CPM).
Is it AdSense safe?:
The widgets are non-contextual and dynamic - they don't look or work in the same way as AdSense ad units so are perfectly safe to use alongside AdSense.
What about a referral program?:
WidgetBucks publishers receive 5% of the earnings of their referrals for a 12 month period.
