This article
explores Clicksor as a Google Adsense alternative for
small publishers. Even though Adsense is the best PPC Ads program out there,
not every publisher is approved by Google to display Adsense Ads because of the
stringent terms and conditions that Google publishers have to follow. Also many
times, Google bans publishers from participating in Adsense for unknown/unclear
reasons and reasons beyond the control of publishers. So it is useful for
publishers to explore alternatives beyond Google Adsense.
Clicksor is one of the sensible alternatives
to Google Adsense these days for the small publisher. They have payouts
percentages of up to 85% (compared to Google's 70% or so) and
unlike a number of alternatives the cost per click bid values are high enough
that you can earn a decent income. They are also much more tolerant than
Google in terms of 'Terms and Conditions'. Their terms and conditions suggest
that you should only place one copy of their code on a page but as long as you
only place a single pop-up or DHTML code on a page they seem happy to let you
place many context sensitive ad blocks on a single site.
Clicksor also has a big advantage over a number of the lower ranked alternatives in that their ads are truly context sensitive. Thus while you can provide keywords they have technology that will also show ads targeted to the content of your site. This means your visitors are exposed to ads of the same subject as they were searching for when they reached your site and thus vastly increases the click thru ratio and thus your sites earning potential. The context sensitive nature also saves you the hassle of having to specify keywords for all of your sites and decide in advance what people might be looking for.
The online stats provided by Clicksor are not perfect but they are enough for you to keep track of the trends with your site. They also allow you to add as many sites / domains as you want under a single account. You also only need the root page of your site approved. Once this is done you can place ads on all of your sub pages.

The payment
schedule with Clicksor is also much better geared to the small site owner.
- In any pay period in which your earnings exceed $50.00 ($20.00 with PayPal), payments are made either by check or instantly through PayPal ($20.00 minimum for PayPal).
- Revenue totaling less that $50 (PP $20) will rolled into the following period.
- The pay period is based on a 15 day schedule so you can get paid much more frequently.
- Clicksor also do not require a Social Security (SSN) or Individual Tax Identity Number (ITIN) to join and so while this 'technically' does not help US site owners with their tax liability it does make it much easier for non US citizens to join up and start earning revenue.
