If you want to make money online there is no better option than Google Adsense. However, thankfully Adsense is not the only option available for Indian publishers. In case you have not yet applied for Google Adsense or your application was rejected or you wish to explore more revenue models and earn check out the list of ad-networks that works well for Indian publishers.
Though all the ad networks listed below are safe to use along with AdSense it is advisable to cross check and be sure that the Adsense term and condition are not breached. From my experience Google Adsense will earn you more money that other affiliate / ad networks but by combining certain networks you can make the most out of it without affecting the AdSense income.
Top 4 Adsense alternatives
Tribal Fusion
Tribal Fusion is probably the best paying ad network and works well even for Indian Publishers. Having said you need a lot of traffic on your site. Tribal Fusion has updated their minimum site requirement which states that you need 500,000 unique visitors per month that amounts to about 15,000 hits daily.
If you have that much traffic you can earn more by carefully placing the Tribal ads with AdSense and in this process earn more without affecting the AdSense income. Minimum payout is $50.
Technorathi Media
I have used Technorathi Media and it works best if you are getting US / UK traffic. Technorathi even works for Indian visitors but it is not that impressive. The application process is simple and it is relatively easier to get into as a publisher, make sure you have good content and decent traffic about 2000 + daily visitors. Minimum payment amount is $50.
Indian Publisher Submit your application to Technorathi Media.
Infolinks
Many Indian publishers are already aware of this Infolinks ad network which makes use of in-text ads. All you need to do is add the Infolinks code in your HTML file and related keywords automatically get linked and when visitors move the mouse over these links they see a box with the ads in it.
Infolinks does work and is a good combination with Adsense. Minimum payment threshold is $50.
Chitika
This is another ad network that Indian publisher would love to add. The minimum payout is $10 via PayPal and $50 by cheque. Again you can make a decent amount of income if you have more of USA / UK visitors. Though the Chitika ad may look a bit similar to AdSense they are not contextual ads and can be safely used along with Adsense.
There are the 4 best ad networks that can be used with Adsense or as an alternative to AdSense. There are many other networks in the Indian market but they are not that impressive. AdBrite is also a well known network which has worked for some but it does not work for Indian visitors.

Infolinks sounds good! No minimum criteria I presume? Any idea how much it pays per 1000 page views?
Many Thanks GoGi, for your great tips, i have been thinking about technorati, your posts cleared my many doubts.
My application got rejected by google because my website contains cracked data, so plzzzz suggest me other alternative to google adsense which will have no issues with cracked/pirated data on my site.
Does smowtion works in India.
No one is better than Adsense. And for other’s you should have good traffic.
Is it safe to use adbrite with AdSense?
It’s not a difficult thing to get approved for adsense. I got accepted in just 3 months. It takes time to understand about these companies and blogging but after all you understand and gets everything.
Hi,
Can you tell me the number of post or number of hits you received in your blog every day to get registered with Google adsense ?
I have used Chitika, Adbrite and Infolinks. Infolinks worked best for me.
I found chitika is a big challenge for adsence, although chitika should have banner ads,and other ads format like google ads. Infact visitors identifies google ads as a result they will not click on the ads, whereas chitika is a new ad network so that the maximum visitors will click.
I want ads that come with replay button. Do you have any solution?
Tribal fusion is really hard to get in.
Nice post. Infolinks is great but for tribalfusion you need a lot of traffic!
Good post.. Thanks I applied for Infolinks by reading blog n comments…
Good posts, how much traffic needed to apply for Chitika?
Googe adsense have no alternative… out of these infolinks is the best.
