Adsense alternatives

[Shiz]

Hey guys, well unfortunately due to some misguided actions that my brother took the other day to try and help my website's cash flow, he has inadvertantly got us kicked from adsense permanently. We are currently trying to find a good replacement.

We are running adbrite as well, but their adverts arn't targeted at content at all. We have been trying Oxado but their adverts arn't really targeted either.

Does anyone know any good schemes other than those mentioned that have content targeted ads?

Cheers

What did your brother do?

Clickclickclickclickclick - unfortunately claiming it was your "brother" will get you nowhere but banned with Adsense. Mainly because Google are facing lots of lawsuits over click fraud not because it increases their costs, but it increases *mine* as an advertiser, too.

In terms of other contextual ad networks - Yahoo have YPN, MSN have AdCentre and eBay are apparently launching something

Those are the main three but, afaik, they're not available in the UK at the moment.

I'm pretty sketchy on alternatives but I think Augmented knows a bunch. I came across this page which might be useful.

Yep, those are the main ones I know of, and have worked with. eSpotting is now Miva and Overture is now all incorporated into Yahoo! Search Marketing. I can vouch for both as good service providers, depending on what you want to do and whether you're going to pull in any decent money or not. Get in touch with either of them, as they can tailor packages to your needs and provide you with contextual ads.

Cheers guys. And for the record, i am not "Claiming" it was my brother, it really was. I told him that I got money from clicks, so he got everyone in his class to click on the adverts, which result in 30 time smore clicks than we normally have. Doh!

If anyone is interested, I am giving Mirago a go. Will let you know how it goes.
