Why I don’t prefer InfoLinks Ads

I think many of us know that there are very few adsense alternative ads. And very few of them can make money as high as adsense ads. So one has to understand how much money can be made with the infolinks ads. You can see that infolinks is one of the ad network which has gained popularity as the adsense alternative. You may see that it has some decent CPM rates. Though not many people have good experience with it. I decided to give it a try and thought it’s worth checking out. And so I decided to join a forum where I can use the infolinks ads. In this article I am going to explain my experience with the infolinks ads.

Ad type

One of the difficult part about the ads is it is link based. So the keywords are getting highlighted in this type of ads. I have found that ads such as infolinks are similar to what viglinks adds into the page. Only difference being per ad click you are not going to make much money. Instead you are going to have some issues with the earning. You’ll earn less compared to the viglinks ads. As viglinks requires the users to purchase something then and only then the sale gets credited. That seems to be the issue that may occur in many way. So ad type is not good at all.

Ad niche

You may find that some of the ads are of about dictionary.com, cars.com, godaddy and some of the medical ads. I don’t know how those ads are related to my site. But they add those ads in every pages. And in turn makes you wonder if there is any serious money into this type of ads at all. I have found that very low level type of advertisers are making use of the infolinks. And nobody bothers clicking on the ads which are of different niche. This is extremely bad for those sites which are hosting the content on the basis of the content. And they want the relevant level of content.

Revenue

Let’s talk about revenue. How many of us have made 100$ with infolinks? I don’t recall any good publisher making that money monthly. I really doubt if anyone even manages to reach 10$ a month. Because readhing that sort of amount must be extremely hard. You can’t find the publishers using this and making any good money off it. So this is one reason which makes any publisher not usee the system at all. I have not decided to go with the program for same reason. I can accept all other issues but not the revenue. I would rather spend time and money on monetization that pays instead of one that doesn’t. They pay through paypal and that’s something is the only option they can provide better otherwise not much use at all.

That’s my 2 cents on the topic. You can let me know if you have learned something from using this ad network. My experience so far is not good at all.
