    You are such a disgrace to DP I don't even understand why they haven't life-banned you yet.

    Mika is one of the Kontera support, he tries to offer his opinion and help to the threads about kontera, while you spam the forum about "Infolinks rocks, kontera sucks' and you say HE'S the one spamming?

    Wow, you have to be one of the dumbest people posting here. Oh, also. Anyone wanting to, check out visionmanster's history when he used to bash all others and promote his affiliate links! Stand up guy???

    Spamma Please...

    Infolinks has been a complete disaster to me. With kontera I am averaging over $20/day and the week I tried infolinks my average was under $5/day. Does that mean I think Infolinks are 'paying low' or 'crap'? NO. Because it depends on your traffic, sources, niche and many other factors.

    Seriously, grow the hell up. Kontera, Chitika and Infolinks compete on the same market. Personally I don't link Infolinks since their 'curtain style' ad is slow, ugly and for me they pay like crap but don't just listen to people bashing ad networks, try them out for yourself OR you WILL be mad at yourself when you realize you have been loosing money for years with a network that "Pays low"..

    PLEASE post a screen shot where your average click from Infolinks is somewhere even close to $0.30-$0.90. If you can do that I will use infolinks on EVERY SINGLE ONE of my sites, since that would be around 20 times higher than ANY other network average!!

    Ah, josefine.I almost missed you spamming the forum about Infolinks being the advertising equivalent of the second coming of Christ and Kontera paying less than $1 per hundred million hits...

    I wonder how it can be that I earn more with Kontera than Infolinks. They have never 'stolen' a single click/$ from me. I make $0.20 a click, and not $0.01...

    I have no idea, I guess Kontera must have just singled me out to not scam based on my age, height or gender? I also assume that you have no ties to Infolinks at all, not even an affiliate link you can sign people up through??

    Yeah..

    Oh, and yeah. NO! I have no ties to Kontera myself, other than using them on my websites and being pretty darn satisfied with their earnings, payments and support!

    I've been paid by infolinks thrice and the earnings were good until this week. I'm averaging 00.015 cents per click for this week and thats NOT good.

    Anyone seen a increase in eCPM over the past month. Mine has gone up by 3X since i gave them notice i'm not using them, but it could be because Christmas is around the corner...

    Yes but inlinks is only for blogs or cms sites.

    Forums , social networks are out of the box.

    I'm playing with Kontera right now, displaying it only to my guests.

    The first couple of days have been ok for my niche. Only 9 cents a click, but an eCPM of $1.63. This is mostly search engine traffic seeing these ads, so I should be able to maintain that rate...

    I gave infolinks a shot, but did not like the fact that they allow their script to place ads on top of my already existing links. I'll give them a fair shot if things go south with Kontera.

    I've also been accepted to Vibrant, but they didn't like the idea of me only displaying the ads to guests (most of my traffic comes from registered members, who I would rather not annoy with these type of ads).

    Hi, what sort of traffic did you need to be accepted into vibrant?

    They require 500k page views a month. I believe I was getting 2 million whenever I filled the application out. (Forum based community),

    I didn't realize infolinks does that. That's bad.

    I have the opposite experience, that's why it's good to try both for yourself before deciding.

    i removed both.. now adsense performs much better :)

    REASON : If people dont exit through kontera / infolinks.. then they dont exit.. they transit to another page of your site.. or they exit through google ads..

    If the transit to another page.. that means more impressions and better interactivity.. and hence better growth rate or better CTR for google ads..

    Best strategy for long run i'd say.

    I place infolinks on deeper subpages which adsense performs poorly on (like 0.1% ctr). On these pages i get on average 1% ctr with infolinks.
