Infolinks is a fraud company.

    I have not received the payments for the October 2010 yet.
    As today it's 5th December 2010.
    Moreover, they are not replying to any emails from more than 4 days.

    Earlier they were replying within 1 day.

    Now seems that, they are going to do a big fraud with the publishers.

    They have already done a big fraud, by deducting the amount generated by clicks.
    I have around 700 - 900 clicks per day, and they are paying me 2 or 2.4 $.

    Infolinks is fraud.

    Guys, if I don't receive the payments, I will spread in the whole world, that Infolinks is fraud and will hence make their business stop anytime.
    And, if someone of you don't receive the same, then come along.
    We will make people know, what infolinks is.

    They are dependent on us (the publishers), because we are the only people who advertises their business at our locations.

    Just because you didn't get a payment, calling them fraud is highly skeptical. Again threatening like you will spread bad rep to a company won't help specially when you are an isolated case here.

    Try to be a little more amicable next time and perhaps you would get proper help. But still i guess someone from infolinks will post here asking you to send them an email. I hope your case gets resolved.

    I have sent several emails to them in past 4 days, but they are not replying to any of them.
    This is what forcing me to think that they are fraud.

    But you forget easily the past payments you got just because they are a little late this time ?? let me be clear I'm not defending infolinks at all. But your definition of FRAUD is very immature to be honest.

    Infolinks is not a new company neither it's a small one that it can disappear with all the publishers money without any action against them at all. Just be a little patient 4 days is not a big gap imo.

    They are not fraud for sure, but CPC is seriously pathetic.
    700 - 900 clicks and $2? wow! |-)

    Mate, if I was Infolinks I'd be suing you now. What sort of accusation is that to come up with after only the 5th day of December because you haven't been paid? You need to go wash your mouth out and give them an immediate apology for your libelous remarks.

    Infolinks pay every month with no problems, so stop your girlish whinging.

    how much they pay you for every month? they will always be nice if your revenue is below $1000 a month. And they hate you when you reach more than $1000/month. and will kick your ass badly!

    Thanks Infolinks Support Team.
    I got the payment, but I am daily getting around $2 on 700 to 900 clicks, which is lowest in the whole ad industry, moreover, kontera pays better than infolinks.

    And, Please don't say to monetize my site(s), because I did it already, and several times, by your support center.
    But it produces no effect on the revenue.
    Now I am Compelled to use Kontera and other services, because Infolinks payouts are minimum in the whole industry.

    How good quality are you click throughs my friend? I know someone with a website in Chinese thats gets about 20,000 visits per day with about 100-150 click throughs - now if the advertiser is advertising to Chinese audience I'm sure he will get paid more per click, but because he uses ad networks that have advertisers targetting english speakers, he gets very low CPC(<$0.01). That is only fair as the ad network has to do the right thing by the advertiser - REMEMBER ad networks aren't around for publishers to earn money, they are there for advertisers to get PAYING customers. Without the paying customer, the wheel stops turning.

    For 700 clicks you got $2. I'll suggest you to stop using this service and move somewhere else. Also, if you write infolinks support, they will reply with a patent line "We can help you optimize your links to be sure that you are getting the highest monetization possible on your content" and will ask you to change links in royal blue and double underline. That's all from support. I think they are sharing around 2-3% of total revenue with publisher.

    Never had a problem with payment either. I ended up taking a CPM offer by Kontera for one site ( http://shetoldme.com ), but infolinks was getting good results when I made a test between 3 in-text ad providers (infolinks, kontera, chitika)

    Yes you are right techGuide1.
    I am removing infolinks form my websites.
    They have pathetic revenue to share with the publishers.

    Why not sign up at kontera and chitika (for chitika linx) and then run an A/B/C test to see which in-text company pays the best CPM ?

    That's better than assuming the others are better than infolinks and waste time trying them one after another.
