Infolinks; the extra revenue source

by | Mar 17, 2011 | Updates

I was always against using in-text advertising. But I'm using Infolinks right now on one of my websites and I'm seeing revenue where I didn't have that revenue before. I'm not making bundles of money with it, but I'm making enough with it to buy myself a sandwich in Taiwan. (Food here is cheap, so you can imagine how much I'm actually making)

 

It is an extra revenue source

 

Some people, like myself in the past, would argue that using in-text advertising may put users off. But after using it on my website which I frequent a lot, I don't notice it too much and I just keep reading articles which I proof read every time I post. However if you are struggling with AdSense, AdBrite, Clicksor, Bidvertiser or many of the other full advertisement ad companies then give Infolinks a test-run to see if it works for you.

 

Currently looking at my Infolink's reports, I'm only seeing around 4 – 6 clicks on average with earnings varying from $0.14 to $0.08 with all those clicks culminated together. Now I don't run a big website, nor do I pretend I do, but if you have a large website then you can earn from an extra revenue source through Infolink's or in-text advertising in-general. I've only earned around $0.50 so for this week, but I feel as the traffic for one of the websites I'm using this on increases, so will earnings.

 

I'm also testing out AdBrite as well. I seem to be doing much better with earnings than Infolink's, but they are two different ad-platforms so earnings will be different and a comparison doesn't seem fair. I will probably test out Kontera, which is another advertising platform which uses a similar if not the same technique of in-text advertising.

First run of 2020 – 5.89km

I have not run properly in a good while so I found today's run quite tough actually. It was definitely not an easy run - given that Christmas and New Year's had me eat a lot of food and frankly, I've not been eating with health in mind - let's just say. So as part of...
