Google, today the most popular search tool in the world, two years into its life, announced a new “MentalPlex” search technology that supposedly read the user’s mind to determine what the user wanted to search for, thus eliminating the step of actually typing in the search query. This always led to a page full of April Fool’s results.

Google reveals the technology behind its PageRank Systems—PigeonRank. Google touts the benefits of this cost-effective and efficient means of ranking pages and reassures readers that there is no animal cruelty involved in the process. The article makes many humorous references and puns based on computer terminology and how Google PageRank really works.

Fictitious job opportunities for a research center on the moon. Luna/X (a pun to Linux as well as a reference to both the Windows XP visual style and Mac OS X) is the name of a new operating system they claimed to have created for working at the research center.

Google Gulp, a fictitious drink, was announced by Google in 2005. According to the company, this beverage would optimize one’s use of the Google search engine by increasing the drinker’s intelligence. It was claimed this boost was achieved through real-time analysis of the user’s DNA and carefully tailored adjustments to neurotransmitters in the brain (a patented technology termed Auto-Drink). The drink was said to come in “4 great flavors”: Glutamate Grape (glutamic acid), Sugar-Free Radical (free radicals), Beta Carroty (beta carotene), and Sero-Tonic Water (serotonin).

This hoax was probably intended as a parody of Google’s invite-only email service called Gmail. Although ostensibly free, the company claimed the beverage could only be obtained by returning the cap of a Google Gulp bottle to a local grocery store: a causal loop. In the Google Gulp FAQ, Google replies to the observation “I mean, isn’t this whole invite-only thing kind of bogus?” by saying “Dude, it’s like you’ve never even heard of viral marketing.”

Google Romance logo

On April Fool’s Day 2006, Google Romance was announced on the main Google search page with the introduction, “Dating is a search problem. Solve it with Google Romance.” It pretends to offer a “Soulmate Search” to send users on a “Contextual Date”. A parody of online dating, it amusingly had a link for “those who generally favor the ‘throw enough stuff at the wall’ approach to online dating” to Post multiple profiles with a bulk upload file, you sleaze in addition to Post your Google Romance profile. Clicking on either of these gave an error page, which explained that it was an April Fool’s joke and included links to previous April Fool’s Jokes for nostalgia.

A 52 year old webmaster from the Netherlands got banned from the Google Adsense program in just a few clicks. He went looking around for alternatives and found a lot of very creative brand new advertising solutions. That webmaster was me. Do as I did and you will get a message like:

What was all the fuzz about? The Adsense account was set up for my website witch I started one year earlier as and affiliate for a German / American Void Company (voice over IP, internet telephony).    For more help visit towww.google-atm-machine.com.At that time Adsense was new for me and I decided to give it a try. Doing some cutting, copying and pasting with the codes and voila, I was advertising competing Void companies on my website.

Spy ware was already a big nuisance on the internet at that time. In my battle against it I experimented with anonymous surfing via so called economizers and proxy servers with the purpose of hiding my IP address. Simply just out of curiosity, whether or not the number of clicks on my ads could be influenced, I produced them and guess what happened? They were interpreted as invalid clicks. Adsense disabled my account and I have to admit it: they had a good reason to do so (stupid me, what a shame). However it was never my intention to harm neither the advertisers nor anyone else.

For hardworking affiliate webmasters, generating 100% of their multiple website income through Adsense, this must be a nightmare. Google has no obligation to explain its decision in detail.

No way, don’t waste your time, forget about it, don’t pull on a dead horse. Google won’t unlock your account again. for more detail goto:www.youradsenseprofits.com.Remember we live in the internet age and everything is automated. Google’s answers to my sincere and arguing emails were no exception. They were completely robotized. So would this be the end of a dream earning an income with my website? Answer: NO. As the famous Dutch football player Johan Cuff ones stated:

I decided that I had to forget about Adsense forever being an internet advertising possibility for me and guess what I found out? I was not the only one and this nightmare of the possibility of getting banned is discussed in forums all over the internet now. You want proof? Just Google (yes this is a new verb) with “banned from Adsense” and you will see. But what is more important is that the alternatives are given in these forums and on individual sites as well. Here I’m going to share with you what I discovered.

Click bank-ad-sense-script, a new program that serves Click bank based affiliate products in your website. These ads resemble Adsense ads but a lot of webmasters prefer them. Unlike pay per click this program pays for every sale you make in over 11,000 Click bank products. The yield is higher than Adsense because it pays you between 50 and 75% of product cost, witch can mean $ 100 in your pocket from only one click. Click bank-ad-sense lets you make a selection of your favorite products that you believe are not competing with your own product. Similar programs are: Affiliate Sensor and CBPlugin.

Google AdSense has been revolutionary in terms of providing a way for webmasters to earn revenue from their web sites, particularly for smaller businesses. But are there any good alternatives to Google AdSense?

It is not usually a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket, so you should identify several alternatives. By doing this you may even discover an alternative that is more lucrative for your site, and at the very least you will be prepared in case something happens to AdSense.

Let’s look at some of the best alternatives to Google AdSense advertisements on your web site.

Chitika

Instead of displaying the same old advertising units with text and image ads, Chitika provide active boxes that show targeted products from various manufacturers. Chitika boxes can even show an ad box containing a product alongside several competitors’ products.

Yahoo! Publisher Network

At the time of writing this Yahoo! Publisher Network is still in Beta mode but once it is fully released it should be a viable alternative to Google AdSense. As with AdSense you can provide your web visitors with contextual ads. Yahoo conveniently offers four ways to receive payment including PayPal. That will be welcomed by many international webmasters who grow old while waiting for US checks to arrive and then get cleared through their banks.

Sell Advertising Spots

This is a traditional alternative, but it is still a good one. If you have a strong customer base you should be able to find advertisers to purchase advertising spots on your web site. You can sell spots by the month and offer a discounted option for six and twelve months.

Write Affiliate Advertisements

If you don’t want to spend time trying to attract traditional advertisers you can make your own ads for affiliate products. Check out the thousands of products at ClickBank or Commission Junction. Select several products that closely match your visitors’ interests. Now write affiliate ads, or use image ads with your own affiliate link.

CBprosense

If you don’t want to manually write your own affiliate ads for ClickBank products then you could consider automating the process with CBprosense. It is a tool that will spider your site, analyze its content and then deliver a list of relevant links to the best performing products in the ClickBank marketplace.

These are five of the best alternatives to Google AdSense advertising. There are many more and several that promise to deliver contextual ads. However I suggest that whenever you are considering an alternative that promises contextual ads, do a quick check through your favorite search engine or webmaster forum to see if anyone is actually making any revenue by using their service. It is one thing to promise the technology, and another altogether to have sufficient advertisers to constantly deliver appropriate ads to your site.

Adsense Alternatives.   If you want to get paid much more per click than google adsense then you want Top Secret Magic Code.

Similar to how Google’s AdSense™ works you will be going to a website and then taking a strip of “code” and then adding it to a webpage you have (or even many, many webpages you have!)
But whatever you do, don’t make the mistake of thinking this is AdSense!
While AdSense is great, Top Secret Magic Code is MUCH BETTER adsense alternative!

The top secret magic code adsense alternative system allows you to add just 1 simple string of code to any webpage you have, and magically you start to see some big money start rolling in.

Plus, you will see in this article:
1. How to upload pages instantly to the Web
2. How to get free and inexpensive traffic to your pages
3. And how to sit back and watch the money roll in after adding the magic code!

These strings of code can be generated instantly when you set up an account (free!) and go to their section that allows you to set the “parameters” for the code you get at the end. “Parameters” just means things like:

• Your Ad Type (e.g., text banner, etc)
• Whether Horizontal or Vertical Layout
• Size
• Background Color
• Headline Color
• Description Color
• Etc.

So you have COMPLETE 100% control of how the ad looks on your webpage.  Google adsense offers you some visual control but not like Top Secret Magic Code does.
You then set your ad’s cost and for what duration. In other words YOU decide (not someone like Google!)how much you are going to charge when someone places and ad on your page.

You will want to be fair as if you charge too much, the advertiser may not make his money back sufficiently – and he may decide not to renew his ad each term.
You can set your duration for:
• 1 day
• 7 days
• Or 30 days if you choose

After setting your duration, you can then “click” to generate your code!
From here, you simply add that code at some location on your webpage or webpages.

To learn the full detail and get started right away I suggest you download the Top Secret Magic Code: Adsense Alternative Kit

Adsences nearly dominated the realm of online advertising, many would think that they can find no Adsense alternatives. Indeed, if there is one top profitable advertising program on the internet that would be Google Adsense. This advertising program can be found in almost every site and blog available online, as the ads can bring forth significant profit to your business. While many think that Adsense is the only pay per click that exists on the internet, they are certainly mistaken. In fact, there are many different advertising programs which you can subscribe to when you plan to make money online.

According to Yahoo Answers and other research I have done, some of them are: AdBrite- AdBrite is an online advertising company that provides different ads related to your site. Among its best features is that it has banner and text ads, and interstitial ads which can cover a whole web page whenever someone visits your site. It also offers Inline ads and pop-ads which appear whenever you highlight a keyword.

These days, you can now make video advertisements through AdBrite. DoubleClick- established way back in the early days of the internet, DoubleClick has been one of the pioneer online advertising programs available on the internet. It has catered to clients such as Nike, Microsoft, Carlsberg, Coca-cola, General Motors and Motorola, to name a few. You can make money online by including DoubleClick ads to your site, and it does give significant profits through commissions as well.
Another site Yahoo Answers Another site

ADTECH- ADTECH is an AOL-AG-owned ad server company which focuses on ad serving technologies which provide a wide variety of benefits to both advertisers and marketers through means of interactive ads. It is a great alternative to Adsense since it offers you more interactive ads which can easily attract the attention of your target market.

Yahoo Pay-Per-Click- Yahoo PPC is probably the biggest competitor to Adsense. A lot of companies trust Yahoo PPC for their ad campaigns mainly because of the latter’s efficiency and user-friendly techniques. Yahoo PPC also gives occasional tips and tricks on how to effectively promote ads on your site, thus it would be easier for you to make money online.

Finally, there’s OpenX. It is an open-source ad server which became popular due to the fact that it promotes programs developed by the open source community. Yahoo Answers recommends this site especially when you support technological varieties. Just like other ad servers, OpenX has zone-based ad selection and campaign targeting, as well as direct ad selection and standard banner rotation, Adobe Flash Support and ad capping.

Even with this information I must admit that with adsnese working so well I am concerned that adsense might not let me use them. This means you really have to be careful when considering other ad networks like adsense making sure they fit what adsence with allow
Over they years I have build several successful websites and am now focused on Websites That Succeed. We offer free website development articles and ebooks as well as a free website builder and free website tools.
