About Infolinks

I joined Infolinks on November 27th 2009. Why? Because earnings from AdSense got worse; From between €1400 and €1700 to less than €1200 per month, this situation was asking for a solution. As ads were optimised already and as I didn't want to test them again (it's stress if you know what I mean), I had to find another way of monetisation for my websites. Not this website, surely (it's non-commercial).

I found Infolinks by mistake to be honest. I tried Kontera and Chitika in-text ads. Kontera was nothing, it just wasted my time. Chitika was performing nicely during the first days, but then I somehow found Infolinks. I didn't expect anything from it as the publisher account isn't even using https, but why not give it a shot?

• Chitika won't show ads to all of your website's visitors
• Kontera was a waste of time (they pay very few cents per click, there is not enough of clicks, ads aren't shown to all visitors in my experience)
• Infolinks ads are shown to all visitors, and even though there are some $0.00 clicks, it proved to be the best option out of these three

Earnings are very stable in comparison to AdSense for example. With AdSense you can earn €100 one day and next day you'll end up with €50 easily. With Infolinks the earnings don't reach AdSense's potential, but it's still worth it. I am earning between $9 and $11 per day in average. So with about $300 per month, the earnings are reaching about 20% of my AdSense monthly income which isn't that bad at all! I'm currently sending about 200 visitors to Infolinks ads each day, but as I wrote above, it's much better than a brick to the head.

Not! For sure! I tested disabling Infolinks for a couple of times and AdSense wasn't affected. Looks like other people tend to click AdSense ads and other type of visitors like Infolinks ads.

Yes. But it was a little stressful (perhaps my fault). Let me explain... The Infolinks staff requires you to send you a tax form (or how it's called), or you have to declare that you have not to pay US tax or not to send US tax forms. I checked Infolinks blog and found something like "Payments for December have been issued" even though I haven't received any money. So I emailed the staff and I got the explanation. I simply had to declare that "I do not have any income effectively connected to the USA". I did it by email and on 15th February I received my first payment by PayPal. Great! I also received my January revenue already.
