What is the best AdSense alternative for small publishers?

For publishers under 10,000 monthly pageviews, Ezoic and Media.net are the most accessible AdSense alternatives because they have no or low traffic minimums. Above 10,000 pageviews, WeForAds offers header bidding and premium demand that can beat AdSense RPMs by 30-60%.

Can I run AdSense and another network together?

Yes. Running AdSense alongside other networks through header bidding (where multiple networks compete in parallel auctions) is how most high-earning publishers operate. Google's AdSense terms specifically allow other networks — the restriction is only on mimicking AdSense or stacking ads deceptively.

Which AdSense alternative pays highest RPM?

No single network pays highest for every impression — that's why header bidding exists. On a per-publisher basis, AdThrive (now Raptive) and Mediavine typically show the highest RPMs among managed platforms, while WeForAds and other header bidding platforms match or beat them through competitive auctions with lower traffic requirements.

Why would I leave AdSense?

Most publishers don't leave AdSense entirely — they add other networks on top through header bidding. But common reasons to diversify include: AdSense account suspension risk, low RPMs on non-US traffic, lack of direct deals, no header bidding support, limited ad format options, and the 32% revenue share Google takes.

Do I need 100,000 pageviews to leave AdSense?

No. Many AdSense alternatives accept publishers with 10,000+ or even no traffic minimum (Media.net, Ezoic, WeForAds at 100K+). The 100,000 threshold is specific to premium managed platforms like Mediavine (50K) and AdThrive/Raptive (100K).
