Infolinks Ads SUCKS, any good alternatives ??

Infolinks earning sucks so bad, very bad !!

my traffic is mostty are US, CA, UK, EUR, and also from rest of the would countires !!

I got 389,901 Impressions and 4,255 Clicks from 1 Sep to 19 Sep
and Earning is : $88.07.

This is 0.02$ (Two Cents) per click !!

I am giving my visitors away for nothing, i wrote them complaing, all i see in my site is Free Dictionary Ads, and Infolink Search results Ads, and barley i can see REAL ad for something relevant in my content for my sites nichie (Travel, Graphics, Sport, Martial Arts, Design, Templates, and etc.)

they answered me with the regular answer which is " eCPM varies due to many factors: the ads that are clicked on (each advertiser pays differently for different ads), the point of origin of traffic to your site (clicks outside of the US are usually worth less), as well as the net impressions (depending on how many people visit your site per day). I am proud to say that Infolinks is one of the only in-text providers that pays for clicks outside of the US (most of our competitors don’t)." and bla bla bla !!

I wrote back FEW TIMES asking for solution, any help, anything, i am not happy about the two pennies per click, for now, they don't bother to answer.

I am taking serious thought to keep my sites empty with no ads and not to keep this ridiculous way.

Anyway,
is anybody here have any better suggestion, and good alternatives.

 

Go for adsense, adsense pay more...

 

Hmm.. I'm getting .0435

Not great but not bad considering the type of ad it is. Adsense/banner ads will almost always outperform in-text.(in most cases)

 

You can't expect high value clicks with in-text links.

 

Are you using their related ad tag ?

 

Feel sorry but you can't earn more with them as most of In-text ads pays low despite of they tell same thing. I would advice you apply for TechnoratiMedia it will be much much better for you! Their average eCPM is around $0.60 and you could around over $100/day depends on eCPM but I am sure you would get at least $0.50 eCPM.

 

have the same feeling with you but your ecpm is higher than me

 

Actually it was my understanding that that is good for text links because I know text link ads pay less then normal ads with places like adsense for example.

 

First thing cant expect more with In text. Secondly You CTR is very very low. Improve that your earning will improve and you will be happy.

 

chitika is best alternative for you.. i have very good experience with this company...

 

Haha. you must have earned at least 10 times as more for such a nice traffic if you used adsense, and properly optimized your ads.

 

Psharma
He might be using Adsense and Infolinks will be extra income.

 

bro the fact is infolinks pays less,are u using relates tag?
make article around some high paying keywords if infolink put link in ur high paying keywords then may be ur pay per click rate will be increased.

 

yes I think I will try using kontera or another to replace infolinks

 

I'm not using related tag, because I saw in my reports some days I have less click are the days I earn more =))

 

So are u guys suggesting only Adsense and Chitika is the option left for monetizing our sites ? Chitika is only for search and that too from US & Canada

 

Does it violate the ToS or not?

 

No it doesn't

 

I have been using adsense and what I got is not cool..
Page impressions Clicks Page CTR Page eCPM [?] Estimated earnings
64,281 89 0.14% $0.28 $17.85

Really?

 

Infolinks has banned me for fraudulent click that i never did!.. Even Infolinks team would not give me any proof. sucks... They pay me almost $1K last month, but when my revenue getting higher this month... they just banned without any proof at all...
