How many times did you apply for Adsense account and got rejected?
It could be several times or more. Maybe, you are still struggling to get approved by Adsense.
Most of the new bloggers apply for Adsense many times and become disappointed after getting rejected by Adsense. But Adsense is not the only advertising network for publishers. There are a lot of ad networks that share decent amount of revenue to their publisher.
To be honest, though there are a lot of ad networks but there is no real alternative of Adsense. Adsense is still the best Advertising Network. But I believe ‘Something is better than noting’. That’s why I am going to share some Adsense alternatives.
If you are one of the them who didn’t get approved by Adsense or got banned by Adsense, then you can try the following networks. You can also use these networks along with Adsense to increase your revenue. Here is the list of Adsense Alternatives (2015). Yes, there are other advertising programs (sites) similar to Google Adsense.

Initially you won’t be able to earn much revenue as it takes some time to get your site found by Highest bidders. So stay longer.

Whenever you add in text ads on your site, make sure that you are not annoying your readers with too much ads.
My advice is not to try the networks at a time. You can do A/B testing to check which one works better for you. However, you can use 2-3 networks at a time.
