3. Clicksor
Clicksor is also a good alternative after AdSense. You can find 10 different types of ad formats that you can use on your website. You may use inline text links, text & image banner ads, pop-under ads & Interstitial Ads.
Depending upon the ad format, the niche of your blog & geographical target, you can earn money from Clicksor. They share 60% of the revenue they generate through your website. You can get paid every 15 days. Payment method is Paypal/Check & minimum they pay is $50.

5. Bidvertiser
Many people choose Bidvertiser as an alternative to Google AdSense because they have very liberal T&C & you can easily get the approval. If you have never worked with other ad network & if you are earning income from Bidvertiser then you might think its a good choice but if you worked with AdSense then you know what I am talking about.
Long time back, I tried to test Bidvertiser along with AdSense. I used only 2 same size vertical ad units in my pages. One of Bidvertiser on one side & other of AdSense on other side. The earnings that I received in Bidvertiser was only 5% that I made through AdSense. There was a big difference in ad CTR as well.
Then for next few days, I interchanged their ad position to see if other side ads get more CTR. I was shocked to see that the result was same. I was 100% sure that they were stealing my clicks.
It was my story, long back. You can try & check yourself. Check this link to join Bidvertiser.
6. Kontera
Kontera is a popular text link advertising program where ads display as a text link in your blog content itself & its easy to implement this in your website. You don’t need any space to display the ads. You can utilize those spaces for other ad network.
But this text link method can lower your rank in Google SERP. Many publishers are not satisfied with the low earning they receive in Kontera. They say its not worth to join Kontera ad network.
7. Infolinks
Infolinks may prove better AdSense alternative than Kontera because you may earn better than their ad network. Their ad format includes insearch, intext, intag & inframe. One of the biggest disadvantage is that, readers hate such types of ads. They may discontinue coming to your blog if you regularly bombard with Infolinks ads.
They have various payment methods like PayPal, bank transfer, Western Union, Check etc. & the minimum amount is only $50. If you don’t have other option, join infolinks here.
8. Chitika
Update: This company has shut down.
Chitika is a lot similar to AdSense. You will find similar ad format & you also earn from CPC as in AdSense. Another benefit is to join their affiliate program where you can refer people to join Chitika.
The main difference is the ads displayed are driven by the visitor’s search query, not directly by the content on a given page. Their CTR & CPM rate is poor.
One of the main benefit of joining Chitika is you don’t have to wait for the payment. You can receive it via PayPal as soon as you reach $10. Join Chitika here.
