Infolinks eCPM takes a nose dive

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

I’ve been using Infolinks, serving in-text advertising links, for 12 months now and it looks like the honeymoon is now well and truly over. Initially the eCPM I was seeing from Infolinks was solid, and well above anything I’d been getting with Kontera.

Commission Junction suckle on my account balance

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

A bad affiliate program is one that does everything in its power to make you feel like you’ve just paid a visit to an alcoholic, sausage fingered, proctologist. In the good old days Commission Junction were quite good to me. I was doing reasonably well with them, largely on the back of their relationship with [...]

Celebrating the first sale

Friday, March 20th, 2009

I’ve been a member of MoreNiche for a while now, initially drawn in due to their generous sign up bonus. A while ago I set up a poker site, to see how the MoreNiche, WassPoker, product would go. Today I officially recorded my first sale. It may be due to the current WassPoker offer “get [...]

One of the latest features Predictify have released for their registered users is the ability to add a badge to you blog, website or [...]

Infolinks – it’s time to believe the hype

Friday, December 12th, 2008

I’ll be honest, when I first read about Infolinks in various forums, I was more than a little sceptical. Whenever a new advertising program kicks off, it’s not unusual for discussion boards to become flooded with people spouting off about the overwhelming success they are having with the next big thing, no doubt in the [...]

Customizing Infolinks to get the best return on your site

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

As I covered yesterday, Infolinks appear to be a decent alternative to Kontera. The only problem is, their dashboard is a little light on for information, and makes it easy for people to miss some of the more useful information that they have on customizing Infolinks to get the most out of them on your [...]

Kontera versus Infolinks

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Battle of the content links I’ve been using Kontera content links on a few sites for some time now, and whilst they haven’t exactly set my little money making world on fire, they have proven to be a slow and steady little earner. Up until recently I’d been under the apparent misapprehension that Kontera were [...]

It updates itself, so it’s one of those set and forget kind of things. Perfect for a lazy person. There are a few different options and [...]
