Is there any people here that makes other way to make monitization ? Adsense wont approve my request and im planning to change adsense to something (some says adsense gives small amount)

It all depends on the purpose of your community. Some do well from subscriptions or membership.
Third party advertising rates are at an all-time low. These days they feel more like a last resort.

From personal experience, the Amazon affiliate program is much more profitable than Google’s Adsense. There is a Discourse plugin that automatically converts any Amazon link posted in your forum to include your affiliate ID code in the URL. However, I would say it’s better to use both monetization methods. The official advertising plugin includes support for a few different services and custom code so you can use any service.

Dear @R_X
Frankly speaking, there are myriad alternatives to Adsense for display ads. In fact, we have not run Adsense (directly) on our site in many years.
If, for example, you Google something like:
top CPM ad networks 2020
You will have enough results to boggle the mind. Here is but one example, picked at random.
Congratulate yourself if Adsense has rejected your site and go choose an ad network which accepts you! 
Cheers!
Please note that because of the global pandemic, CPM ads seems to be “in the gutter” this year; so now is really a good time to focus on developing content, apps and features for your site.
HTH

It’s super easy to get approved by Adsense. You have to make sure you are following their terms. Your website will need a few things required by the program, you will need to do a little research into what is required. Their website lists the things required to be accepted.

If you have valuable content and this is public, adsense is (my) best option.
If you have private content (only for members), I use paypal for subscribers, annual / monthly incoming, and 
to join for private content. For me, the best option.

One interesting alternative that I’ve seen is what the social media platform “cent” is doing. Basically every post in the website has a button for donation, you can press it as many times as you want and you will be adding one cent with every click. You can also go to a user’s profile and seed them money, this agreement lasts for a month and you are paying a certain amount of money per day for the month.
Though I don’t agree specifically on the choice of technology (they have implemented their platform using blockchain, specifically ethereum). I think the idea of people being able to simply pay per post or to seed users for a longer time is a great idea. Something similar could be done for platforms like these. I think people are a bit stingy with giving out their money, but with cent you are just giving a cent, it really feels like not much. You would load up your account with, say, 3 or 4 dollars and that’s already 300 to 400 likes that you can give out.
Obviously a website like a forum would probably take 10% or so of the money that is circulating in order to finance itself. Most would go to users but you can always adjust the ratio I guess.

使用 Discourse 应该能获得什么样的 PageRPM？我在 Google Analytics 中每月有大约 700,000 次页面浏览量，但在 AdSense 中获得的页面浏览量却少得可怜，不知道是否有人有什么技巧可以更好地设置它，例如，对于帖子本身，底部的广告比顶部的广告更容易被看到，因为人们会一遍又一遍地回到对话中，看看是否有人回复了——所以最好将广告放在底部而不是顶部，还是两者都可以？
使用广告插件工具设置多个广告商是否值得？混合投放广告是否有助于提供更多广告？

Google Analytics 显示我周一有 30,000 次页面浏览量 - AdSense 显示我有 6,700 次。
会有那么多机器人吗？我不认为我的用户足够精通技术来使用 AdBlocker。至少没有那么多用户。
Discourse Dashboard 显示我周一有 60,000 次页面浏览量，其中 23,000 名是登录用户，24,000 名是匿名用户，12,000 名是爬虫。
如何清除机器人？

@awesomerobot 发布的这两种方法都可以尝试一下。第二种方法应该能帮你解决一些问题。（这让我想起要把爬虫用户代理添加到我的 blocked crawler user agents 列表里了。）

感谢 @JimPas，我会试试的

我没有找到直接的答案，但这样做可以完全阻止，就像我在 Nginx 上可以做的那样，并根据用户代理提供 301、444 等错误吗？还是应该只使用 robots.txt？
我现在在 Nginx 上阻止大约 450 个用户代理。使用 Discourse 的设置来处理如此大的数量是不可能的（我的意思是，我不知道是否可以通过 rails 导入它们；尽管对我来说这相当学术，因为我的 Nginx 在 Discourse 前面）。
这个分支应该移到另一个话题吗？

@codinghorror 的这篇帖子 如何阻止除 Google 之外的所有爬虫 提供了有关阻止和允许爬虫的信息。这可能就是您想要的。
可能吧，但上面链接的话题是 2019 年 7 月的。 
我知道该主题和它所指的设置。在此主题中提到了如何使用 robots.txt 阻止登录。但是 robots.txt 阻止不了多少，因为遵循，甚至查看它，都是一种选择。
而且我仍然感到困惑，因为那句话：
如果定义了允许列表，则不适用
如果允许列表的工作方式完全相反，并且只允许白名单用户代理，阻止其他所有内容，那将是一个非常危险的设置，根本不应该在那里。
用户代理的种类非常多，我敢肯定 Discourse 无法做到像这样，它能检测出用户是人类还是机器人，然后决定何时使用白名单，何时不使用。
这也意味着，如果存在真正的阻止，并且有人决定使用白名单，那么可怜的管理员将关闭所有人的入口，仅仅因为只允许了 googlebot。而尝试白名单所有“人类”用户代理……简直是不可能的。
我找到的每个主题都告诉如何使用阻止设置，而不是它做了什么。这是一个很大的区别。
这就是为什么我想在这里看到一些更深入挖掘的编码，而不是简短的帮助。抱歉，GitHub 不是正确的地方。如果一个人想做开发工作，那里是一个很棒的地方。否则，对于管理员来说……不行。
所以——我仍然不知道阻止和允许在这里意味着什么。
而且我完全确定这个分支不再是如何寻找 adsense 的替代品了 但我不再为了要求转移到另一个话题而自己标记了——我已经吸取了教训。

我发现这在许多不同的领域都是如此——“如何做”，而不是“为什么或它有什么作用”。
同时使用允许列表和阻止列表有些令人困惑。但我想主要区别在于，在使用允许列表时，您实际上阻止了不在允许列表中的所有内容。在使用阻止列表时，您只是阻止了列出的爬虫/机器人……其他一切都可以通过。现在令人困惑的部分——当同时使用这两个列表时会发生什么。 
啊，所以我就提一下 @JammyDodger 将这些帖子移到另一个新主题。我们确实有点离题了。
正是我的观点。所有内容。包括用户。

Adplugin 支持的 AdSense 替代方案目前有什么推荐吗？我看到了 AdButler、Amazon、Carbon 和 DFP。
我的网站是关于美食和餐厅的，AdSense 似乎完全没有针对这个市场。
