And quite naturally, advertising service providers in the market are becoming more sophisticated. Witness the influx of both adserving platforms and advertising exchanges, even the use of behavioral targeting to generate more clicks from qualified Web users - and that's just the beginning. While most advertisers restrict their budgets to the familiar big three (Google, Microsoft and Yahoo!), it is essential to look at vendors outside those that generate the most attention. These lesser-known networks and providers can yield immense value, often providing a higher return on advertising investment thanks to a greater focus on managed services and targeted, niche advertising - something the big three provide but at another premium. A mix of CPM, CPA, and CPL and CPC-based ad networks and even some non-standard or non-traditional networks (e.g. those focusing on pop-ups, expandables, mobile, paid reviews, etc.) are included in Website Magazine's August Top 50 of Alternative Advertising Marketplaces. You will notice that many large providers (including those provided by Google, AOL, Yahoo!, Microsoft and others) are absent from the list. These providers were excluded from the Top 50 due to the broad reach of their advertising services (ad serving, ad networks and ad exchanges) and lack of exclusive focus on advertising. These providers clearly garner the bulk of ad spend but the purpose here is to highlight competition in the marketplace. Perhaps the most challenging aspect of assembling a list of alternative providers is they are not all exclusively pure-play ad networks. For example, one might provide services for both affiliate marketers and advertisers or specialize in a particular ad serving medium, such as mobile or pop-ups. Considering the limitations, what is illuminated here is the exposure these companies receive among their prospective clients. It is equally important to remember that most advertising networks cannot exist without content partners or affiliate publishers. In the end, the strength (quality and volume) of a network's traffic is a key element to success, and how every network should be measured. Website Magazine's Top 50 rankings are a measure of a website's popularity. Ranks are calculated using a proprietary method that focuses on average daily unique visitors and page views over a specified period of time. The site with the highest combination of factors is ranked in the first position.     1. shopping.com 2. superpages.com 3. pricegrabber.com 4. cj.com 5. bidvertiser.com 6. local.com 7. miva.com 8. looksmart.com ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/looksmarttop50-chart-1-1-1.gif?width=333&height=201&name=looksmarttop50-chart-1-1-1.gif) 9. payperpost.com 10. shareasale.com 11. chitika.com 12. reachlocal.com 13. federatedmedia.net 14. valueclick.com 15. admob.com ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/admobtop50-chart-1-1-1.gif?width=332&height=204&name=admobtop50-chart-1-1-1.gif) 16. linkworth.com 17. genieknows.com 18. marketleverage.com 19. adonnetwork.com 20. revenuegateway.com 21. maxbounty.com 22. mediawhiz.com 23. mammamediasolutions.com 24. industrybrains.com 25. brightroll.com ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/brightrolltop50-chart-1-1-1.gif?width=333&height=206&name=brightrolltop50-chart-1-1-1.gif) 26. bannerconnect.net 27. adbrite.com 28. clickbank.com 29. adengage.com 30. accelerator-media.com 31. tribalfusion.com 32. burstmedia.com 33. vibrantmedia.com 34. 7search.com ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/7searchtop50-chart-1-1-1.gif?width=334&height=207&name=7searchtop50-chart-1-1-1.gif) 35. valueclickmedia.com 36. tradedoubler.com 37. zedo.com 38. blogads.com 39. kontera.com 40. revenue.net 41. clickbooth.com 42. 247realmedia.com 43. cpxinteractive.com 44. marchex.com ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/marchextop50-chart-1-1-1.gif?width=338&height=208&name=marchextop50-chart-1-1-1.gif) 45. paypopup.com 46. zanox.com 47. pheedo.com 48. kanoodle.com 49. addynamix.com 50. affiliatefuture.co.uk ![Peter Devereaux](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Peter_Devereaux.png) [Peter Devereaux](https://www.websitemagazine.com/seo/author/peter-devereaux) As the Editor-in-Chief of Website Magazine and President of Website Services, Peter has established himself as a prominent figure in the digital marketing industry.
