    Yep. I left infolinks on one of my sites (Celebrity content) and have seen the exact same trend. Yesterday I had 8.000 hits, 30 clicks and made under a dollar!!

    They are new in business,they still learn how to improved the services.My suggestion is give a try for next 2 or 3 months,if no change you should remove them.

    Yes, Infolinks has gone down the drain.

    I will probably drop them tomorrow first thing on Monday. The support is trying to avoid the question(s) I asked, like are you going to get a new advertiser? etc.

    So back to the drawing board I go, sigh.

    December 3 was low, too. But December 4 was high. I don't know why? Maybe it will be the next kontera.

    I have around 10k impressions counted daily with them on one of my sites which is a little under a quarter of what that site pulls daily. I have broken $2 once so far in the last week and I get around 100 clicks daily.

    The CTR is higher than adbrite but the PPC sucks. I'm almost to the point where I might just setup up my own inline ad script (if a good one is out there) and serve my own affiliate links.

    Anyone know of a good script? I may look into this if they don't improve. It is residual income on top of what I earn but I'm sure there is a better way.

    i thought i am the only one who is having low earning with infolinks recently, seems many publishers notice infolinks major drop of earning.

    i will give them more time. and see , if this low earning stays, i will remove infolinks completly. adbrite inline ads pays much better now.

    Surprisingly adbrite paid around the same thing for me. I stopped their inline ads because they stopped matching the keywords on my site all of a sudden and they all disappeared. Support was no help.

    adbrite pays better for inline ads ... it's just their payment system that makes me think 1000 times to start using them :(

    infolinks is the best as far as inline ads are concerned, one day the payment is high and the other day its low and this happens with every ad company whether its adsense, adbrite, bidvertiser etc

    I love infolinks and have it on my site and am earning 20-30 average per click

    I think Infolink is saving a bigger percent of the earnings for themself.

    I don't think that will be a good business decision.

    Text advertising works better. I was going to use infolinks, but from what you guys are telling me, I am better off with pay per click :D

    From the 1 - 16 December my eCPM has been $3.42 which is a long way ahead of what I was seeing with Kontera.
