How to Make Money with Infolinks In Text Ads:

 

Infolinks is an in text advertising network that serves pay per click ads on a publisher blog/website.  It is one of the best ads network for making money online especially for bloggers who do not have extra space to displays ads.

Infolinks ads are displayed as double under links that target specific words in page. Whenever a reader hover his mouse over specific words, a relevant word is displayed and if he moves away the mouse the ad disappears. If the reader clicks on the link, he is taken to the advertiser’s page and you get paid in return.

If you are also using Google Adsense in your blog, you do not have anything to worry about  since Google allows in text ads to run along with their adsense. Having both of them running isdefinitely a better way to boost your income. 

In comparison to Infolinks, Google Adsense pays much higher but despite this, Infolinks remains one of the highest ad revenue sharing program. Most in-text ad providers pays only 40% to 50% of their total income while infolinks pays upt o 70%.  You are paid an average of $0.02 - $0.5 per click.

Pro :

·        It is very easy to integrate their text ad in your blog. Simply sign up with them for a new account as a publisher, fill in all necessary details including the URL of your blog/website and insert the code in your HTML template, wait for few days for them to check your blog and approve your account. If your account is approved, you only insert the script and the text-ads start running immediately. You can log in to their website to set how you want the text-ads to appear and how many in one page.

·         One of the highest paying in text-ad network in comparison to others.

·         No special requirements needed apart from having enough content in a blog.

·         Integrate well with your blog content. Nothing else you need to add to your blog.

 ·         No extra space in needed for displaying their ads.

Cons :

·       The pop-up windows may be a bother to some of your audience/readers.  

·        May increase the bounce rate. Many readers just coming and leaving your blog through the text ads links. 

·       Slows down the page speed. 

·        Not so good for blog without high traffic to minimize the effect of high bounce rate.

Infolinks text-ad is another good way to earn some money but for any blogger who decides to use them, it is always important to weigh the benefits against losses.  If you find that you can be able to run the ads and still maintain a good number of readers, then I would suggest you to go for it.

In most cases, blogs with high traffic do very well with this kind of ads since even if you lose 10% of your audience, you still have a lot more readers coming to your blog unlike blogs with low traffic turnout. You can always give it a trial and then you can decide whether you want to continue with it or not depending on the results.

How to Increase Infolinks Earnings

How to Increase Infolinks Earnings:

 

When it comes to monetizing a blog, you will never know what works best for you unless you are ready to try the many options available. For sometimes now, I have been using Chitika ads in this blog until recently, when I decided to test how to earn online with infolinks.

Infolinks ads are very customizable which make them very easy to integrate well within your contents. You can set the number of links to be shown in a page, where  you want your link to appear, the color and the number of lines which will appear under the text links.

How to increase your earnings with infolinks is very simple. It only involves customizing the links appearance, use of search widget, related tags and tag clouds unlike in Chitika where you will need to add a few things to your code.

Customizing :

By customizing your text links color. The links tend to match well with the color of your blog. This makes your blog to look very natural. You also take control of how many links you would like to be shown in page. The maximum links that be shown is 12 and the minimum is 1.

Tag Clouds :

Tag Cloud uses Infolinks algorithm to create colorful cloud of keywords that are relevant to your content and located within your content at the bottom of the text area. If a users clicks on any of the tag cloud keywords, he is taken to the advertiser's website and you get credited according to the CPC rate set for that Keyword.

Related Tags :

With use of Related Tags, Infolinks again chooses the best keywords for the page and display them as tags within theRelated Tags banner unit. When a visitor hovers over the tags, an Infolinks ad appears and if the visitor clicks on it, you make some money.

Search Widget :

This the one of the latest widget to be introduced by Infolinks. According to Infolinks, using search widget can increase your CTR rate at 4%. 

Write Longer Posts :

If you usually write posts under 200 words, you are more likely to get less CTR. The longer your post is, the more clicks you will get.

Targeted Traffic :

It is always important to work towards gettting high quality targeted traffic. Clicks from countries like US pay much higher than clicks from other countries. The more targeted traffic you get from those countries, the higher is the CPC which equals to a higher earnings.

Update Your Content Regularly :

The more new contents you have, the more new links you will get.  Infolinks insert relevant, pay-per-click advertising within your own words within your blog. With more new contents, you are simply increasing the number of high paying keywords within your blog which will be used to generate clicks.
