There is YPN which is accessible to the U.S. publishers at the moment
There is also MSN program which si going to get launched soon

Are there other alternatives to Adsense ?
Something with a lot of adevrtisers and paying per click.

Here i will list alternatives to adsense, and tell you a little about them.

Yahoo! Publisher Network
Yahoo have become googles main competition in the PPC service industry. They are a reliable PPC ad provider. At the moment the YPN is only available to American citizens with a valid SSN.
If you can get into the YPN it's probably the best and most reliable alternative to adsense.

Clicksor
After google adsense and Yahoo YPN, clicksor is your best bet.
They have been around a while and claim to pay publishers 70% of what advertisers pay for each click.

Intellitxt
Intellitxt is run by a company called Vibrant Media. These types of adverts are a little different to the regular PPC contextual adverts. Instead of displaying adblocks on your page Intellitxt puts adverts in your content by displaying a tooltip type adverts whenever your visitor mouseovers on a keyword.

TargetPoint
TargetPooint offers a few options to webmasters, Such as AdPoint, ExitPoint, ImagePoint, UnderPoint..
AdPoint serves contextual adverts relevant to your content.
ExitPoint serves adverts to visitors as they are leaving, Like a popunder..
ImagePoint will display banners on your page relevant too your content.

AdBright
AdBright works slightly different to other adverts. With adbright you need to get webmasters to advertise directly on your site. So instead of leaving it to the PPC provider to display adverts, People have to like your site, want too advertise on it and sign up. Rates are said to be good though.

Chitika
Chitika is a new type of advert, They are sometimes called mini malls. What makes Chitika special is the look of the adverts. It's a tabbed block that allows visitors to move around the adverts on your site. These do tend to have a lower CPC though. While this could be considered a replacement for adsense it's not really an adsense alternative because it's a different type of adverts.

Bidvertiser
Bidvertiser is your ordinary common or garden PPC advert program. What makes it appealing is that they pay through paypal and their minimum payout is just $10. So if you are dropping adsense because you find it hard to reach the $100 mark you should give Bivertiser a go.

You should be aware that it is against adsense terms (and most PPC terms) to display competing contextual adverts on the same page. You can test these providers on different pages of the same site, But not the same page.

how much is the yahoo one making?

I've been using clicksor but havnt been paid fora while as they increased the min payout to $50 my sites dont seem to be getting many clicks.

id stay with adsence if was u
only one worth trying is YPN

Yo Hot,
there is also Miva for PPC advertising/publishing.

I've also heard nothing but bad things abot chikita over the past 4 months - I don't use them personally but when there's that many people bitching about them it's not normally a good sign.

Paul.

Adsense Revealed

Difficult to beat adsense but I also swapped to clicksor on some of my sites with low paying adsense ads.

thank you...

Has anyone out there heard about WideCircles.com. It seems like a way better service then wasting money on PPC. Apparently they are using refering websites ( forums, blogs, wiki, etc. ) and have a viral word of mouth distributed approach to it. My friend told me he got around 100 visits from single post which cost him $0.40c. I am going to give them a try today . In case you are intrested here is it.

Well chamila WideCircles.com. is not as good as absence, we can earn more with Google absence...
