Chapter 1
Infolinks Strengthens In Comparison Infolinks, already well known around the world, appeared in the
advertising market for in-text links. Let me briefly introduce this board
that seems promising and its strengths in comparison with other similar boards. For those who do not know Infolinks is an advertising network that displays, through Javascript, advertisements in the main text of your web
pages. Each time someone clicks on these links, it earns you money. Its ' a pretty popular format in the English market, but still uncommon in other markets.
There are very few boards that compete in the market for in-text links (the text). Apart Clickintext, which pays about 5 cents per click advertising but In-Text are hideous, there is not much. In addition, Clickintext only displayed for visitors based in France, which further limits the revenue when a site is for people around the world.

The reason is quite simple: Infolinks advertisements are much more
elegant than Click-in-text. In addition, Infolinks works with international traffic. This means that, unlike Clickintext that displays advertising and
visitors from France, Infolinks displays advertisements to everyone from everywhere. Moreover, as Infolinks began in English, the ads are also displayed to visitors who speak other languages.
For now, I can only advise you to try yourself Infolinks on your sites and test results. Installation is very simple: just register and put the code
Infolinks the bottom of your HTML page. Give yourself a few weeks to enjoy the results.
For my part, the CPC began to climb after a week of use. Moreover, as Infolinks is new in the market, they are always looking for new
advertisers. The service should improve, day after day. This will allow you, hope you get a better idea of the opportunity to make money with links in your text via Infolinks.

The Contextual Advertising Revolution Contextual advertising is a great way to monetize your website by offering links that may actually interest your reads. After all, you only get paid if they click on the links on your website, so doesnt' it make sense to offer them related products and services?
Traditionally, contextual ads took the form of banners across the tops of websites and images alongside online content. This method of
advertising was made popular through Googles ' Adsense program, which is still going very strong today. Youll ' find hundreds of networks that
offer services very similar to AdSense, and these services are tried and true ways for website publishers to make some extra cash.
But what if you could increase your website revenue even further? You can through In Text contextual ads like the ones offered through
Infolinks. In Text ads are the perfect addition to traditional pay per click campaigns that utilize images.

In Text contextual ads appear as links to keywords within your website content. The links are underlined twice instead of once, and a small bubble opens when a mouse cursor moves over them. Example:

Although In Text contextual advertising does supplement traditional methods of advertising very well, there are also a number of advantages that come with an In Text campaign. In addition to the extra revenue
you'll earn from having both kinds of advertisements on your page, youll ' also enjoy a higher click-through rate on the In Text ads.

Advertisers have found that most people tend to tune out noisy banner ads and images that don't go with the article theyre ' reading.
However, they are more likely to click on an advertisement thats '
embedded right into the text theyre ' reading. In Text ads are also a form of permission marketing.
This means that small balloon that opens over the In Text ads gives your website visitors a choice on whether or not they want to see the advertisement. The balloon offers just enough information to tell your website visitors what the link offers. If they dont' like it, they wont' click on it, pure and simple.
Infolinks is one advertising network that offers contextual ads. The
companys ' record shows it to be the highest paying In Text advertising provider. Infolinks utilizes innovative technology that better matches
advertisements to website content. Better matches mean more clicks for your website, and more clicks on your website means more cash flowing in.

Customization of Infolinks The ads are totally customizable and you can test various combos to see what works for you. You can change underlining (single or double underline), the color of the in-text links, the format of the ad that shows up when someone holds
the cursor over the links, how many ads you want to show on each page and even where on page you want the ads to start appearing and where to stop appearing. Infolinks by default shows 12 ads per page and if you use Adsense or 2012 – Improving Your Contextual Ads with Infolinks

Chitika too, then I suggest you lower the number of in-text links per
page so that your pages don't scare your visitors away with too many ads.
I also suggest, that when you sign up with Infolinks, let them run for a
week or so and then email their support asking for better optimization. Their team will check the theme of your site and optimize the ads.

Earnings and Payments Infolinks offers several convenient ways for publishers to receive payments. You can choose your preferred method: PayPal Bank Wire ACH (Only for U.S. bank accounts) Get your Infolinks Prepaid Mastercard® (Powered by Payoneer).

Page 15
You can apply to get an Infolinks Prepaid Debit MasterCard® to load your earnings and use it anywhere MasterCard® is accepted. Choosing this payment form will link you to a new page to register for your card.
Once a cardholder, you can manage your account by simply logging onto the Payoneer website.
Payment is sent 45 days after the earnings period. Heres ' a detailed explanation from the Infolinks:
Every month! At the end of each monthly payment period, Infolinks
calculates your earnings for that month and issues your payment within 45 days of the end of the payment period, as a standard industry practice.
The only exception should occur if your monthly earnings are less than the Infolinks payment threshold. The minimum threshold is $50. But dont' worry – if your earnings are less than that threshold at the end of the month, these funds will be carried over to the next month.

A Combination of Infolinks and Adsense It is a very common saying that "Dont' put all your eggs in one basket"
and so is true for choosing online advertising networks. Every webmaster
should try to maximize its online revenue either by adding new source to it or increase the income of existing source. Most of webmasters or
bloggers use Google Adsense as their primary source of income besides affiliate revenue if any. I was searching for some better ad network for my blogs which I can use along with Google adsense without affecting the adsense CTR and income, and I found one in the shape of Infolinks. I have been using
Infolinks Ads in my blog for more than two weeks now. I must say it was a wise decision to join Infolinks ad network.
