    the type of blog ur having , u'll have only low traffic. Infolinks wont work in these sites. U'll do best with Adsense and Linking yourself to some niche related affiliate products [that will work best]. Try clickbank etc .... i had tech blogs , that ddnt wrk . now i have them all merged at sourishnath.com/blog .... that is the beauty of wp , u can import all posts from any other blogging system ....

    I am not sure what you mean by "the type" of blog I have. I know bloggers with similar that are successful.. I am just working on traffic right now. I do have adSense and just started with affiliate links.

    Oh , i was giving a general idea . Actually blogs in your niche get direct traffic more than google traffic . And hence more hesitant towards clicking infolinks ads. At low eCPM , ur not going to even make the minimum 50$ required for payout . iam not criticizing your blog or your wiriting , just telling the truth , as a fellow blogger .

    well i cant say what does well , but surely i can tell what does bad . If you are looking to earn , go for things that pay high . Traffic is an added benefit . Money related sites [like forex , mortgage , insurance ] earn the most , but traffic is tough to get . Since you have a flair for writing , you continue with that , just get the proper ways to make money thats it. Infolinks wont work for you , and since it adds up to site loading speed , avoid these things , as google hates slow sites . If you have seen my site , it has no CSS images , loads quick , and getting 25k views per day for a site that is just 1 month old

    Thanks for all your feedback! I will look more into all this! This feedback will hopefully help others that read this, too. Wow, that is a lot of visitors. I have analyzing my site and it loads pretty quick. Maybe I just need to look at keywords and SEO... traffic is the most challenging part! I hope you had a chance to look at my website. I will check your out too! Congrats on being so successful!

    No drastic increases, but I have been out of town so I have not been putting too much more into it. I did get an email back from infolinks on optimizing it - that is going to be my next step!

    Hi onetrickday,

    I don't have eCPM information on hand, but I can tell you that Kontera is particularly strong when it comes to the telcom ads that would be most relevant to you, including exclusive ads from AT&T, HTC, Samsung, Sprint and BlackBerry. You can read a blog post specifically about telecom ads here.

    Hi Julie,

    This is Jonathan from Kontera. First of all, I don't you're a "peon" anymore, it looks like you've been upgraded to a grunt :)

    I took a look at your Inspired To Write website, and I think you could see a significant performance up-tick in switching to Kontera. It looks like about 45% of your audience is coming from the America, and you could be taking advantage of our exclusive, premium ad inventory, much of which is geo-targeted for the North American market.

    Thanks,

    I recommend you infolinks, Kontera won't pay you much.

    i am using infolinks and it is good.. but you can try other text ads in the internet like clicksor
    it is very common also in text ads.
