Alternatives to Google Ads on Your Blog?

Thought I'd tap the hive mind here for valid, not skeezy alternatives to Google ads on your blog. I would like to avoid both Microsoft and Google due to a well-founded aversion to big tech and all that they do that isn't good.

I'm already pursuing affiliate programs, so that's not what I'm looking for here, unless there's a special affiliate program that includes evergreen in-line blog ads not tied to a particular promotion. I'd like ads that I can highly tailor toward our blog content and that don't involve icky levels of reader tracking.

following... I haven't had much luck

UPDATE: I've had some success with Awin: https://www.awin.com/us

They offer programs with a long list of advertisers, and when you join each program, you get HTML code for lots of different creative ads that you can place at the top, sidebar, and in-line in your blog.

I've joined the Etsy affiliate program, and Awin connected me with another advertiser called Laurella. So far, so good!

I don't have an active blog, but I recently joined a blogger course. There the instructor said she uses https://www.adthrive.com/ and https://www.mediavine.com/.

MediaVine requires you to have 50k pageviews each month and Adthrive requires 100k so that is a hurdle to jump if you haven't already.

It's a great goal to strive toward, though, since it appears many bloggers have had a big increase in ad revenue after switching to those.

Here's a blog post that discusses different affiliate networks you can join. This allows you to have one account at the network website from which you get your affiliate links. They pay you directly rather than the company whose product you linked to.

Again, not a blogger. Just regurgitating what I learned last week.

Gab has ads now. I do not know how it works, it’s new and I haven’t used it. Just heard they’ve been pretty successful
