InfoLinks Pays Extremely Well... Can it be used with AdSense?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by ttomp13, Jan 19, 2009.

    I have been trying to find a program that will do well if not better than AdSense
    for some time now. You see, my blog is Video Blogging Tips so it's really hard
    to get clicks on AdSense ads since everybody that reads my tips already know
    what AdSense ads look like.

    That's when I was contacted by an InfoLinks representative suggesting that I
    use their program on my site. I decided to give it a try and it's worked amazingly
    well. In fact, with the "double underline implemented," I had a CTR between 1-2
    percent and I earned about 40 cents off of 4 clicks. This greatly surprised me.
    Today, I just changed my ads to a single underline. I'm guessing that I will
    make way more because now my ads just look like regular links.

    Anyway, since InfoLinks works so well on my blogging tip based website, I could
    only imagine how well it would work on a site about acne or a site about fitness.

    My only concern is with AdSense. Is it okay to use InfoLinks along with AdSense.
    Note that InfoLinks is also contextual.

    To see an example of InfoLink ads check this page out.

    Let me know what you guys think.
    Also, be sure to sign up for them yourself. This program rocks!

    I would think you can, adsense doesnt say anything about not using other networks on the same site or page

    TextAdMarket is compatible with Adsense. You can show both on the same page.

    40 cents for 4 clicks.
    I'll continue to keep you guys update but this is extremely good compared
    to Clicksor.

    Also note these links are NoFollow.

    Finally, note that you can do one underline instead of the two underlines to
    further blend in your infolink ads to increase CTR.

    You can also control the amount of links per page. This is awesome.

    I've just implemented it into all of my blogs. I'll let you guys know how my
    earnings are when they update tonight at 12:00 PM Pacific

    Yes its safe to use infolinks and adsense on same page. But I think infolinks is going down these days same as kontera :(. Don't know is that only happening to me.

    I think it doesn't matter to use it together with adsense since it's in a different format of ads. but it will have some problem to use together with kontera or chitika linx.

    this is interesting.. thanks for sharing the story..

    I want to know the confirmation whether we can use both adsense and this one..

    also good for those who are looking for adsense alternatives.

    cheers

    Very disappointed in yesterday's statistics. 14 clicks - $1.25
    CTR Was low yesterday, but I figure that's because I kept viewing my own pages. (Inflating impressions)

    Also, I'm only displaying 5 links per page. I'm going to go ahead and try displaying a few more and see how it goes.

    So far this is the highest amount I've made on inline links though.

    Anybody know of a better program?

    info links are contextual text link ads, i've used them before along with adsense, no problem there.

    have you tried kontera by the way? its another link ads program, and there's another one called vibrant

    I haven't tried Kontera or Vibrant.
    2 Questions - Are they nofollow or can you make them nofollow?
    And how well do they pay per click?

    i think they all fluctuate like adsense, i got rid of them now because they were too distracting in my old theme layout. Why not give them a try? I might try them again with my new layout

    After a really bad experience with Kontera ( another inline ad serving network ) I quit using these type of ads and have sticked to adsense for now.

    I'm wondering if you guys will help me. I just signed up with Infolinks, and I'm integrating my code. The instructions said "Please copy and paste the script code below into your website HTML pages right before the closing </BODY> HTML tag. If you currently use Google Analytics or other similar JavaScript based tools, the Infolinks JavaScript can be placed right before their code:"
    So, I placed the code right above my google analytic code. The problem I'm having is that half the time I'm pulling up my blog now, I get a computer error saying something like, "Internet Explorer cannot open this site, operation aborted" I'm not sure if this is because of the code, or a problem with my computer. Do you mind checking it? I'm not very good with code/html etc., I'm more of a blogger, should I put the code in a different spot? My blog is at http://www.cocothebloggingdog.com/
    Thanks for any help!:confused:

    Edit: Never mind, I probably shouldn't wait. I think I'm going to remove the code and see if it's still getting that error then try it in another spot. Not sure on blogger blog where to put this code, at very bottom?

    Edit: Yeah, that's what the problem was. I placed the code at the very bottom, and not getting error now. The links seem a little obnoxious, yes? I guess I'll see how it goes...
