Infolinks review | ppc in-text advertising program earnings

Infolinks which is the most popular in-text advertising program available and is one of the most used advertising program. I am also using it on my blogs. Getting an Infolinks account is very easy. Just sign up and next day you will be approved as a publisher and ad code will be provided, paste that and ads appear instantly. Also it is used a lot as it does not require any space and a particular text or keyword act serves a banner for ads whenever the mouse is dragged over a highlighted word (opens in a floating window). Also it displays quality ads.

Types of Infolinks ads :-
=>First one I have already told you that is the Highlighted text (floating window). Serves as an advertisement and whenever a user clicks on it, it is counted as a Click.

=> Second type of ad served by Infolinks is the tag cloud that displays several keywords and if the mouse is dragged over them ad's banner is displayed and if a user clicks it is counted as a click.

Third is the infolinks related tags that is like link ads of google adsense.take a look at the screenshot of that.

Coming over Infolinks Earnings/Revenue.

First take a look at the earnings when my blog got less impressions , earnings were very less as shown for around 100-200 impressions, just 2-3 clicks and very less revenue .

In next screenshot : -It shows the earnings when my blog got a huge amount of impressions. The earnings increased as the impressions increased .

Number of revenue is directly proportional to the number of clicks which in turn is directly proportional to the number of impressions your site/blog is getting. In order to get more impressions or traffic , you must write well and provide the best to the web surfers.

Infolinks earnings method:-

Various methods are available for receiving payments like Paypal, Payoneer Mastercard (Minimum threshold is $ 50 for both), Bank wire/Ach ($ 500 minimum payout.)

So, you must use infolinks as monetizing program and also it can be used along with Adsense and Chitika.

Top Google Adsense alternatives review

Getting Google Adsense is very difficult nowadays specially in India and other Asian countries. I have applied many times for Adsense but everytime got rejected by error"Page type Issue". Well this prompted me to search for Google Adsense Alternatives.
Till now I have used a lot of adsense alternatives in order to monetize my blog and they are Bidvertiser, Adbrite, Chitika, Infolinks, Clicksor, Kontera etc. This post will help you to choose an adsense alternative that suits your requirement and most apt. For you.

1) Bidvertiser : - I used Bidvertiser as my first ever adsense alternative. Just sign up and you will be given an ad code and pasting that Html ad code will display ads instantly on your site. Minimum payout is $ 10 via Paypal and $ 50 via check. However if you are from India or any Asian country and getting traffic from these countries Bidvertiser is not a good option as an adsense alternative .However If your site or blog is getting Huge amount of traffic then you can use Bidvertiser as your adsense alternative. You can Sign up for an Bidvertiser account from here.

2) Adbrite : -Another popular adsense alternative. Offers various formats of ads. Minimum payout same as that of Bidvertiser. However when I used this on my blog, despite getting impressions was not able to earn out of Adbrite , thats why removed Adbrite.

3) Chitika : - Best till now., Currently using it as ad programme on my blog. I must say it works fine as compared to other adsense alternatives. Read more about Chitika here and you can sign up for Chitika account from here.

4) Infolinks : -It is In-Text ads that means a particular word gets highlighted and serves as a banner for ads whenever the mouse is dragged over it. Also infolinks offers tag clouds to earn more out of it. You can earn decently out of infolinks. I would suggest Infolinks to be used as an adsense alternative and also it can be used along with Google Adsense.

5) Clicksor : - Also serves banner ads. Used this on my blog as an alternative but found Clicksor to be useless for me. Displays poor, low quality ads that why removed it. Also a lot of pop-ups opens while opening a particular page serving Clicksor ads.

If any of the blogger or web publisher liked this post , don't forget to share and comment.

Chitika ads show Adchoices | joins IAB

A few days ago, I noticed a new change in the search targeted ad. Program "Chitika", that I use to monetize my blogs. The new change is the access and its logo appearing in the ads, which is also seen in Google Adsense ads.
Chitika recently became a member of the IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) that comprises of various ad companies. and it aims to provide relevant online advertisement .

This will benefit Advertisers, publishers as well as users as relevant and meaningful ads will be displayed.
Chitika remarks "Right Ads to the Right User at the Right Time."
This will help publishers increase their CTR as number of clicks will increase and hence the revenue, while advertisers will be able to find the desired audience, thus Chitika ads are improving and becoming User friendly.

Check the Post written by Sarah on Chitika inc. Blog .

Here are the snapshots that I have captured showing Chitika ads with Adchoices.

Opened Google's Blogger yesterday and I saw a notification that blogger has got new interface and there was an option to try the new interface , Choosed the try option and I was amazed to see blogger's brand new looks. The new interface is great looks neat, clean and more stable as compared to the older one.
The major change is that more of white color is used in background and orange tabs which are faster than before and several drop down menus are used in it. The post editor is being expanded and it looks like a clean white paper. The looks are given resemblance like Google + looks, every part of google's blogger is updated with fresh looks. So in short "Awesome looks and graphics".
However there is an option to switch back to older looks if you are not liking the new or if you are used to previous one.
