The site was very hard to monetize with other offers, hence the reason I was using adsense.
I'd like to clarify that my original question was made in the hopes that you'd say something like "how am I supposed to make money online without Adsense?", 'cause that's what your original post seemed to be implying, and I just wanted to see you say it outright.
But to half-respond to your question - If anything, you should be fucking celebrating you got banned from Adsense and start pursuing more equitable, profitable ventures instead of trying to find some bullshit workaround to get another Adsense account. Jesus christ.
find out who are the advertisers that showed ads on your site and make them a better deal than Google. I'm sure they'll love a little more freedom with their creatives and landing pages
stop building sites that don't have clear monetization plans.
Contacting the Advertisers is out of the question as the type of ads displaying on the site were more general ads, less specific to the niche. I don't think it would work out.
You would be surprised how much money there is in making sites that aren't your typical health/fitness/insurance niche. There is a lot of space for niche topics and can make you decent money.
I suppose this topic would be better suited for a SEO board.
I could try out some general offers that would fit my niche in a very broad sense, or try to find out the type of people that visit my site.
Just wondering if anyone had experience with other ad networks similar to google adsense.
Thanks for the helpful advice. This is why I visit Wickedfire.
I'll get started on running some CPA offers.
What tools do you use to find out about the demographic of your visitors? I have a youtube video with a fair amount of views that links to the site, so I can use that.
But Google Analytics only tracks location and language.
