Infolinks review

Infolinks Review
Infolinks is one of the best In-Text advertising network and also one of the best Google Adsense alternative. Infolinks was started back in 2007 and became successful in quick succession because of its innovations and hardwork. Infolinks ad formats are quiet innovative. In addition to the In-text advertisement, infolinks also offers three different ad formats :

In-Text ads:

Infolinks Intext ads
Infolinks InText ad format.

After you integrate the Infolinks script on your website, you can see the In-Text ads. Infolinks script selects some specific keywords from your blog and then start showing ads using those keywords. Infolinks script mark these keywords with single dotted line or with double line as per your choice, and when a user hover his/her mouse pointer over those keywords then the ads are displayed.

In-Frame ads:

In-Frame ads appear whenever a visitor enters your website or blog. In-Frame ads appear from the both sides of your website. In-frame ads uses the vacant side spaces of your website to show ads but it does not affect or hinder your visitor reading your content. Infolinks In-Frame ads generally show related links or image ads.

In-Tag ads:

Infolinks Intag ads
Infolinks InTag ad format.

In-Tag ads are generally displayed at the bottom of your post i.e just above the comment section. However, if you want to place them anywhere else then you can place them manually. In-Tag ads are text links generally shown in single or two lines as per you choice.

In-Search ads/In-Fold:

In-Search ads appear whenever a visitor arrive from Google or some other search engine. In-search ads scrolls up slowly from the bottom but again it does not hinder your visitor from reading content.

Infolinks advertisements are very innovative they are designed in such a way that it can generate you maximum revenue without affecting your blog readers.

Infolinks also offers various customization options for ads such as In-Text link color, double underline or single dotted underline etc. If you don't like any advertisement then you can off them anytime. Infolinks website is well designed and user friendly.

You can use infolinks as a complementary network with Google Adsense because the ad formats offered by infolinks are totally different from Google ads and do not affect Google terms. Infolinks is a CPM, CPC network. It is a network of choice for both small and big publishers because they provide good CPM rates than other advertising networks except Google Adsense.

One more thing that i like about Infolinks is that their staff is hardworking, they care about their reputation and therefore they keep looking for new posts and forum discussions about Infolinks. They encourage the bloggers by visiting and commenting on their posts. They also review the post and suggest bloggers if they have written something unhealthy about their network, as you can see in comment section Debbie from Infolinks team has suggested me that they pay within 45 days that is 45 days is the deadline, which i mistakenly written Net 45 days. By this you can understand how responsive is their staff.

Infolinks does not offer any referral program but also it always motivate its users by offering them new tasks and other money making opportunities to maximize their earnings.
