I have just been reading through posts where it is stated that it is hard to get adwords ads approved and that adwords accounts have been suspended, etc., and I it started me thinking about alternatives to Adwords. So I did a search for other advertising networks and came up with the following:

Clicksor
Adbrite
Kontera
Bidvertiser
Chitika

DISCLAIMER: I have never tried advertising through the above. Caveat emptor.

The fastest way of having an Adsense application approved is to create a blog through Blogger or use your existing Youtube channel. Here's how to do it: Signing up for AdSense through Blogger or YouTube (according to a Google employee).

Thanks, Mike. But this isn't about displaying ads on your own website. It's about having your ads displayed on others' websites, much like how your ads would be displayed on others' sites when you sign up for an adwords account and do a ppc campaign.

For everyone, in case you are looking from the other end of the tunnel, if you sign up for any of the services I listed above, you would be the advertiser and not the publisher if you want to have your ads displayed on others' websites.

Thanks Faradina for the great information. It's nice to have an alternative to AdWords so that we're not held hostage by them. It's nice to have an alternative. I will certainly look into them.
