Infolinks

I just signed up, hopefully they still perform well for the weight loss niche.

they are paying me less than a cent now. Still better than kontera which eats earning of anything less than 5$ in a month.

I'm still seeing 9-10 cents per click. This is half of the EPC I see from display ads.

But, as this is on top of my normal display ad revenue, I am pretty happy with it.

I ran a head-to-head test between VibrantMedia IntelliTXT and InfoLinks on the same site. IntelliTXT won by a small margin, but that may be due to the deal I negotiated with them. Without a special deal, InfoLinks may pay better than IntelliTXT.

Has anyone done any tests to see if double-underlined or single-underlined has better CTR?

I'm not sure which one to go for.

I haven't perfomed any deep analysis, but I prefer using single-underlined links.

BTW... anyone else noticed a huge cpm increase lately?

I'm asking because these last couple of days I've almost tripled my revenue.

What have I done? Well, I've changed my links from green to blue, and that was about all I've done.

Stats from the last 3 days:

Monday, May 25, 2009 7,711 164 2.13% $0.74 $5.68
Tuesday, May 26, 2009 8,495 157 1.85% $1.28 $10.9
Wednesday, May 27, 2009 8,199 151 1.84% $1.72 $14.12

/me is confused...

I have been using infolinks for almost 3months now and have bad experience with them

first month it yielded some good bucks and it was almost $1/day which i just as good as topping on a cake

and from the past two months the eCPM have been as low as $0.05 and CTR to be $0.1

In what kind of sites are you using infolinks? Proxies?

at present on article directory, personal blog, forum, etc.
I used it on proxies for the first month and it yielded high results at that time

Forums convert pretty badly, but article directories should be doing a better job.
Maybe you should try changing your settings there to match your themes.
Can you show a few examples of your placements?

Cheers,
