I’ve been running Google Adsense ads on my website for well over a year now. I’ve made a decent amount of money from it so far, but not enough to get overly excited about. I know many who make a living from Adsense alone, but there are those who would rather use an Adsense alternative.

If you’re currently using Google Adsense, or perhaps Google banned your account (read this post by Peter Lee to find out how to prevent it from happening to you), and you’re looking for an alternative to Adsense, you may be interested in Yarie.com.

Yarie doesn’t automatically generate content related ads like Google Adsense, but instead, the ad categories are pre-chosen for you based on the niche of your website. For example, my site is geared towards the work from home and make money online niche. The categories that they choose would revolve around the niche, sort of like a sub-niche, if you will.

The best example of this would be on this site. If you go to my Replace Your Salary home page, look at the top right sidebar, and you’ll notice the heading “Real Online Jobs.” Below the heading are online job categories, which are the ads.

There’s not as much customization available to you as there is with Google Adsense ads, but so far I’ve seen good results. I’ve been running these ads from Yarie for two months now, which have actually made me more money than my Adsense ads.

Check out the screenshot below of my earnings for the past two months of using Yarie:

It’s not a whole lot, but consider the fact that this is completely automated, and I do nothing extra.

Setup is easy as well, although a little more complicated than with Adsense. You’ll have a piece of code to place anywhere on your site that you want the ads to show up, just like with Adsense. The difference is that you’ll also have to create another web page and upload it to your server. Details will be given to you and are easy to follow.

Once you’re setup, you’ll want to place the ads as close to the top of your page as possible. The closer to the top, the better the click-through-rate you’re going to get.

Right now I only have Yarie ads on my home page, and as I said, they’re performing better than my Adsense ads that I have on many different pages. I believe Yarie is a very good Google Adsense alternative, and I will continue to use them.

**UPDATE**

I promised I would update you all on what my new online endeavor was, so here you go!

In my previous post about David Hurley’s Internet Marketing Article Writing Service, you may have noticed I mentioned that David is an online friend of mine. There is also good reason why I talked about David’s service and am endorsing it.

Not only does David offer a better PLR article service than most other services, but he also offers an additional service as well. David provides an upgraded membership to his article writing service where members can receive rewritten, unique articles each month.

These articles are unique to the articles that regular members receive, thus making them even more valuable. As an upgraded member, you will receive 10 unique PLR articles each and every month for as long as you’re subscribed to the service.

Now, this is where I come in.

As David and I work side-by-side in various online communities, we are familiar with each others talents, services, etc. David runs quite a few websites, as well as handling a lot of offline obligations. Due to this , he needed to find a way to ease his workload.

A couple of months ago David contacted me about possibly doing some work for him. I gave him some prices and discussed the terms of what all would be involved. At the time David decided to continue handling everything himself.

Not long ago I was contacted again, this time getting full confirmation that David wanted to turn over the re-writing part of his article writing service over to me.

This would result in an increase in my workload, but it would also increase my monthly income. Since David already had a few clients that required re-written articles, he needed to be able to get the articles to them in a timely manner. Seeing this as a mutual benefit for both of us, I gladly accepted the offer.

Why did David pick me to head up the service? Well for one, I’m a proofreader and have the credentials and experience to perform the tasks that David was looking for. I’m very honored to be a part of what David is doing for the internet marketing community and look forward to our long-lasting partnership.

When you join his internet marketing articles service, be sure to check out the upgraded membership benefits to get the details. You’ll also be able to read more about me and the re-writing service that I’ll be providing for his PLR articles.

Even if you decide not to upgrade, you’ll still receive 10 articles every month that are limited to a maximum of 100 members. The reason for this is so there’s not a lot of saturation in the market, and this avoids having 100′s, if not more, of the same articles all over the web.

Being a basic member is still very beneficial if you don’t have the time to write your own articles, so I urge you to check out David’s article PLR service and see if it’s right for you.

Writing top quality articles is very time consuming. You may have an idea of what you want to write about, but when it comes to actually writing the articles, it just takes time. You may be asking why you would even have a need to write articles, and the answer is very simple. Articles help you grow your online business.

Articles allow you the advantage of getting your name, business and message in front of thousands of readers and seen as an expert… all for FREE. For internet marketers and online business owners who have multiple tasks to complete every day, writing can be a chore.

Introducing…  David Hurley, expert internet marketer, English professional and article writer. David is the owner of Grasp-The-Nettle.com and provides an article writing PLR service for internet marketers. His articles are internet marketing and online business related.

What sets David’s service apart from other PLR services is this:

• High quality, relevant and useful articles – NOT the usual run-of-the-mill, thrown together stuff
• Free from grammar, spelling and syntax errors commonly found in other PLR article packages
• Limited membership – Articles exclusively available to only 100 members
• Reasonably priced

David’s service provides you with 10 internet marketing related articles each and every month to use for your own use. Why spend countless hours writing your own articles, when you can have David save you the trouble?

I’m a personal friend of David’s and have worked side by side with him for several years through various forums and internet marketing communities. I have been impressed with his professionalism and all the work that he does with his various online businesses. I can assure you that anything David does is top notch!

To learn more about David’s article writing service and his risk-free guarantee, check out his Article PLR Service. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

The 2nd annual summer PPG contest comes to an end on the 15th. If you’ve noticed I haven’t been updating my blog near as much as I would like. I wish this was due to me working hard doing everything I can to win the contest, but it’s not.

I’ve been busy with offline commitments as of late. As the contest comes to an end, my time online here and other parts of the internet should be coming close to full swing again. At least that’s the plan. It’s hard to juggle everything and commit my time to what I enjoy most, but I will do my best.

I have also devoted my online time to other ventures as well, something I will post about in the very near future. It’s been an exciting time for me, and I want to share with all of you about what I’m doing. So, keep your inboxes open and stay tuned for my next few posts.

As far as the PPG contest, I’m curious to see how well I’ve progressed. Here are some stats to give you an idea of how my online business has been moving forward. The winner is based on how many new backlinks have been achieved, as well as the current Alexa Rank.

Here are my stats:

Alexa Rank prior to the start of the contest – 356,884

Backlinks prior to the start of the contest – 19,867

Current Alexa Rank – 265,084

Current number of Backlinks – 24,363

Surprisingly my Alexa rank has jumped up almost 100,000. Not surprisingly my backlinks have increased by almost 4,500. These results will have to be weighed with everyone else participating in the contest. The winner will be picked based on the biggest jump in numbers.

The purpose behind the contest isn’t to win prizes, it’s to encourage us to keep moving our internet businesses forward. Building quality backlinks and getting traffic to your site should be your primary goal. Do this, and you’ll be well on your way to working from home.
