Google Adsense VS others

use your mind and change your life style

When it comes to online advertising, we all know that Google Adsense is one of the largest online advertising industry so far. If you follow their guidelines and rules properly you can make a decent amount of money from Adsense. Most of the webmasters of website and blogs mainly depend on Google Adsense for their revenue. But not all webmasters and publishers are happy with Adsense and they are constantly looking for Adsence alternatives. I have seen Google just bans a publisher account for invalid clicks or not adhering to their policies. And no any further explanations are given by Google. Yes! its ture that Google disable account who don't follow their rules and regulations. As a blogger or publisher you must have alternate revenue sources, even if you are holding an Adsense account.
