I recently posted the thread "Adsense Alternatives"
on several marketing, webmaster type forums
including this one.
I have compiled and summarized all the results.
I hope everyone finds this helpful.
I sure learned plenty!
http://www.Chitika.com - This name always came up first but with
very mixed reviews.
www.CBsense.com - A clickbank adsense alternative
Yahoo YPN- Similar to Adsense but they do not accept many sites.
MSN (To come) Hopefully a worthy competitor to Google.
It was suggested that I use affiliate programs
in conjuntion with Adsense.
Here is an interesting article on this subject.

http://www.azoogleads.com/
The largest performance-based advertising network
Looks very serious. I had one good testimonial
and no negative.
They do not take EU people though.
http://www.Allfeeds.com-
Has a program called Google Backfill.
It gives you an alternate url for your google adsense account which
will replace the public service ads displayed on your website
with targeted advertisements that look exactly the same as google.
It auto detects your colors and styles and automatically displays
the exact same way google does.
All you have to do is select a few keywords that are
revelant to your site, and it will display targeted
advertisements in place of the public service
ads automatically!
http://www.Bidvertiser.com -
Unlike Google's AdSense and Overture'
Content Match, where nor the advertiser and publisher have any
control of the advertisements' quality, pricing and timing.
Bidvertiser On-Site Bid Per Click offers website owners with
the ability to sell their ad space, automatically, to the highest
bidder, on a price-per-click basis, where the price is
mostly effected by the quality and popularity of their website.
http://www.Oxado.com is like adsense, it finds the best ads
by scanning the contents of your site.
Great support. Pays in Euros.
Here is a KILLER list provided by Nick Wilson
with explanations of each program.

Definitely bookmark this link!
http://www.Adbrite.com - I have used them as an advertiser
not as a publisher. They delivered clicks
and sales at a respectable levels.
One suggestion was just to sell my own
link advertising to individual advertisers.
Always a possibility to keep in mind.
IntelliTXT Programs-
http://www.vibrantmedia.com/
These type programs double underline
relevant keywords in your content.
When the reader moves his mouse over the
words a relevant ad is shown.
I hope you find these suggestions helpful in
monetizing your websites.
