Hi i had noticed that im getting 250+ avg clicks daily but my earnings are very low according to it, so want to know if i am the one of the few facing low earning by infolinks or its just their regular click earnings. Im attaching the report also, pls share your experience with infolinks too
I'm also seeing pretty dismal results with infolinks. The problem is: 1. $25K min spend entry limit for advertisers = limited inventory 2. Horrible relevancy 3. Crap offers and words don't even remotely match destinations
ya same to me. i am getting around 0.25% CTR and $0.01~0.05 eCPM with 30000~40000 imprs per day. it's not good as before.
I think just for $1-$2 it's better to remove infolinks link-ads. You can get more with such good impression with ClickSor.
Where is your traffic from ? I get between $0.02 and $0.15 per click with Infolinks, and it's not even US traffic.
I've a bad experience with Kontera. Got approved instantly and delete my account just before the pay day.
Hello thesuvo I cant track your account form your DP profile but if you give me the url of your website I would be happy to look into the matter for you. Thanks David Stein Kontera Community Manager
me 2 have given a try to infolinks after reading the comments of one of manager of kontera on this forum but ecpm was 0.01 and earnings were hopeless
I've even tried Kontera but did'nt earn a single penny from them after trying it for a week, so just stayed with infolinks.
Ya, and plus kontera's ECPM is sucking. Have you contacted your infolinks account manager? They need to tweak your account to have better performing ads, and increase your ECPM.
Infolinks doesn't make much money. Most people avoid sites where there are those kind of advertising links all over the page. Try Adsense.
There was a time when infolinks used to have ecpm of at least $2.5 to $3 and I am talking about visitors from Asia (mainly India) . I don't know what kind of twist happened in the company that there ecpm is not even one tenth of what it used to be. It seems that they have lost most of their Indian advertisers. I hope that they are giving good earnings for US, UK, Australia visitors.
Everyone should keep track of what is happening in the world economy. It is not just konterra or infolinks that are experiencing reduced advertising spending and lowest ecpm rates in history. Even Chitika and even Adsense does. Just that being too big, Adsense maintains the heavy competition between advertisers and thanks to their innovations they give positive experience for advertisers too (along with publishers) because of which they keep maintaining the relative competition between advertisers and hence in an auction based advertising system they are able to serve ads with relatively higher ecpm rates compared to any other advertising network. Chitika being next popular, it does second best. Nevertheless in a scenario of deepening recession and uncertainty over quarter results, no company wants to continue advertising spends. So they reduce and some take a break from advertising during bad economic seasons. Then competition between advertisers reduces and you will start seeing low eCPM rates. That's how even Adsense gets low eCPM, though relatively it still looks better than others. On the front of geographics, most advertisers target US audience as they are known to spend lavishly and willing to go on excess debts like mortgage, loans, credit cards, etc. It is easy to sell overpriced crap to such people. You can't do the same with Indians. I don't mean that all advertisers are like this. Some advertisers may have good & reasonably priced product who will survive the recession and be able to pay higher eCPMs when the economy recovers. Those are the companies of our hope for better future. All others will disappear one by one as the recession deepens further. Now you know about visitors geography problems. These trends go in cycles hence you will see ups and downs in ecpms. For example, online ecpms were rising from beginning of 2010 till Dec. 2010 when it peaked. Then it reduced till Jul 2011 and saw sudden rise through August 2011. Thereafter it is on a constant downhill. There is no end in sight for this yet. That's why you get to see such low ecpm rates as $0.04. Good old were those days back in 2007 (just before recession started), when I used to see exorbitant eCPM rates of $15! Compare that now with $0.04. Can you now say we are not in recession? It affects everybody including technology & world wide web.
