    May be only infolinks can tell us why his eCPM is so high and others has low and so others can try to follow the same thing, its big difference

    Kontera has come up very good in recent times with their CPC. I find huge difference in Kontera and Infolinks.

    Infolinks I did not see much payment complaint, and I feel they are always reliable

    but Kontera there are many scam complaint in web, many complaint for not getting paid, so I am always skepitcal about them, do you have any personal experience with them, I am looking for good network

    What I mean is I don't understand is how you can get, for example, 3000 impressions and 1200 ad views. I get stats like that as well where ad views are like 1/3 of impressions. Seems impossible. I am sure that's not how it is. You can't get 5,000 impressions and out of those 5000, 1/3 of them are viewing the ads.

    Also, what's the point of having real-time data if you don't have current day's total? The charts only show revenue for the previous three hours, but people are not going to follow each hour of the day for 24 hours. They also want to see what they have earned for the day anytime of the day.

    Hi tottenham,

    Generally, publishers see much better revenue with Kontera. However, since we work directly with big name advertisers instead of primarily using ad feeds like competitors, geo-targeting is much more important. So if a site doesn't have traffic from the regions are advertisers are targeting, or isn't in topics our advertisers are targeting, those publishers won't see the effects of the big name advertisers.

    Thanks,

    My revenue at infolinks has also dropped by 50%. Traffic sources and amount of traffic I used to receive is the same. :/

    Infolinks gives too much revenue and most important thing is pay out, it never late about payment via Pay-Pal.

    The last couple of days I have followed Infolinks realtime stats quite closely and, according to the hourly charts (which only display for the current hour and the previous two), I should have made almost twice as much as my daily average I would say. Yet when the whole day's stats are published, it ends up being pretty much the average. Its almost like the account is capped to earn no higher than x amount. And if you are going to produce real-time stats, why isn't there a stat showing the day's overall earnings in realtime anytime into the new day. Why show the current and the previous two hours only? People are not going to follow the stats every hour and then add it up.

    Hi all. The truth is the payout really depends on the publisher. Infolinks has a higher revenue share than Kontera. If you have a high amount of traffic than your earnings will be higher. In terms of the look of text ads, we just added a whole new product and we've improved one of our classics.

    There are no reports for Net Impressions on Infolinks' reports. If you're viewing net impressions from a third-party source than of course this will cause discrepancies between the the third party and Infolinks' results. We have a blog post explaining our new reports layout.

    If you're looking for ways to increase your earnings, our Support team is full of optimization tips. Thanks.

    Kontera has a 70% revenue share, which is exactly the same as the Infolinks revenue share. I appreciate you trying to defend your employer, but please don't make things up.

    With Kontera working directly with big brand advertisers, the ads publishers receive will often be more valuable, leading to higher earnings for publishers. As I've touched upon earlier in this thread, Kontera is not meant as a platform for all publishers. However, for sites with quality content, in topics that advertisers are targeting, and with readers in regions advertisers are targeting, Kontera will significantly outperform. My advice for publishers would be to contact Kontera, and ask if your site would be a good match with our platform :)

    They are giving a very very low rates than previous, i have removed all of their codes from my all of sites. They are really horrible, don't use them. They pay every payment timely, before February-2012 they were giving good rate but after February-2012 they are giving more than 80% less earning than previous. I had a lots of sites on them but i have removed all the codes.

    I've had InfoLinks on my site for 12 days - For the first 8 days the eCPM was pretty good, at around $4-$8. However in the last 4 days the eCPM has slumped hugely... To $1.10, then $0.20, a slight improvement to $0.70, then down to $0.00! How does the eCPM go down to zero? That must mean that the ads are being displayed on my site for free.

    The quality of the ads on my site are also quite poor, to be honest. The majority of them are the generic weight loss, make money from home & win prizes ads that are not related to my website's content (computers) in the slightest. Therefore a low eCPM would be expected for these type of ads... But the thing that I do not understand is how the eCPM slumped from $4-$8 to $0.20 to $0.00 when the ads displayed have been the same the whole time. The ads on my site have been the SAME since I signed up, yet the eCPM has still managed to fall.

    Chitika weren't that great in my experience - They only serve ads to search engine traffic (which is only 35% of my site traffic), they only have text ads (so no high paying banner ads) and the quality of the ads are rather poor. If they've improved, someone please share your experience.

    for my case and many other here, they are paying on 30th, 31th, 1st and 2nd of the month. Nobody yet confirmed here that they received their payment on the 15th. So actually they are not net45.
