For programming related websites, CodeFund[1] is an option. I tried both Carbon and CodeFund for one of my websites[2], and CodeFund paid out significantly more. CodeFund is also open source and seems committed to desirable principles, like not doing any user tracking through cookies.

#32Google rejected my very organized site( https://www.nmmapper.com ) for now good reason at all. And yes I got an alternative which has good payout. Now I use revenuehits.com

Keep away from Monumetric. In first message to me they required admin access to my site, after that I wanted to delete my account, till this day they don't respond to this request. But are sending me additional reminders to link my account with Google Analytics. :)

Selling ad spots on your website yourself has many drawbacks: * It's time consuming for the seller and buyer. * You need to give the buyer reliable statistics. Page-Views, Click-Trough rate, demographics and what not, before and after you sell the ad spot. * You need to define the price, which is not that simple. * You need to provide the technical means to manage and display the ads. * You need to prevent abuse. * Y…
