    now a days i can see a nosedive on infolinks ecpm
    for example yesterday i got 9.53$ from 677 clicks and today i got $8.45 from 845 clicks (means .01$ per click )...(am giving then daily average 40k pageviews still they are paying less) ..actually 0.01$ click is far below industry standard(see my CTR comes in b/w 2.2-2.5 still they paying less) so i contacted them yesterday but so far no reply from them (may be they all dead)
    (why does ecpm is reducing day to day?)


    do you also feel same ?

    are they scam?

    do i want to shift kontera?


    or tell me another best option (i know adsense but now i cant use, want to wait few months)

    I don't think they are scam. I'm using this network from May 2009 and receiving payment every month and on time.
    For all that period, my average eCPM is $1.44 which comes to $0.14 per click. Just to give you some feeling, yesterday eCPM was $1.38 and day before $1.61.

    I used kontera for 6 months and was not able to reach to the minimum payout. I used several intext programs and Infolinks so far is the best (at least for me).
    You can also try adbrite intext, but I found them also less attractive compared to infolinks.

    Hi Remshad,

    This is Jonathan from Kontera. If you're not happy with your current earnings, you're more than welcome to give Kontera a try.

    One of the advantages of Kontera is we work directly with advertisers and offer an exclusive ad inventory from such brands as Kmart, HP, Domino's Pizza, Sprint, Volvo, J.C Penny, and more. These premium ads consistently bring in the best CPC and are only available through Kontera. Don't hesitate to contact me personally, if you'd like more information :)

    Hi Montreal Classifieds,

    It's Jonathan from Kontera again. Here at Kontera, we recently lowered our minimum payout threshold from $100 to $50 across all payout methods, so you might be much closer to reaching your Kontera payout than you think. If you'd like to give another Kontera shot, this would be the ideal time. We've doubled our sales force is recent months so our exclusive ad inventory is bigger than ever, and thanks to our Contextual Technology, we're able to deliver those premium ads with unparalleled relevancy.

    Please let me know if you'd like assistance in calculating how close you are to our payout threshold. Because you're an old publisher, you need to manually change your minimum payment threshold from $100 to $50 in your Publisher Center, but once we get that fixed it's possible you'll automatically qualify for your payout.

    I just love infolinks , although I still havn't made dime from it!!!

    I love it because I saw my friend earning a lot from it.

    I am a newbie. Using Infolinks for last 2/3 days and out of interest yesterday I told one of my friend to put some clicks on infolinks adds on my site and he did 5/6 times. But when I checked what happened! I was a bit shocked... Its displaying "0" on the field of Clicks.


    Can u get me an explanation? How do i get a click

    Sarah please note that I wasn't cheating. I did that just for once and as a newbie to see what happens and i am na gonna do that again


    :confused:

    I am also facing the same problem. Earlier i used to have cpm of above $2 but now it has come down to around $0.7. I even sent a mail to infolinks team a week back but they even did not bother to reply. Not happy with the customer service i must say.

    well, i am now using kontera as i got banned from Infolink for a reason, to me which was pointless

    however, kontera is a bit confusing. I dnt understand its way. Day before yesterday I earned $0.04 from 13 clicks!!!! Sounds possible??

    But Yesterday i got $0.32 from only 4 clicks. ....i am happy seeing it is increasd bt nt happy wit their paying...

    The pay is low, indeed, and cannot be compared to AdSense. However, it adds up and the money comes in handy. They pay really fast.
