Infolinkshas been declared as one of the best alternatives to Google Adsense and can earn you a good amount of bucks if all the customization is done well. I’ve spent some good years blogging and one thing i have realized is Infolinks might not work for every publisher out there, some might earn big from it where as some might earn close to 0 cents from thousands of page views.
The following factors affect
Infolinks earnings:
- Source of Traffic: The source of traffic greatly affects how a blog earns implicating a click coming from Google or Bing is valued higher than a click from social networks.
- Traffic Location: Traffic from USA turns out to be the highest paying traffic implicating if a US user hover on you Ad you will be paid more money as compared to some one from another country. Traffic from Asia turns out to be among the lowest paying traffic.
- Country of Users: One thing i also noticed about infolinks is if there very few or no infolinks advertisers in your country, all the users from that country will view only low paying ads and this explains why most users complain about seeing only Facebook ads.
- Keywords: Keywords account for most of the ads that will show up on your website. Low paying keywords (Entertainment, Sports, Relationships…….etc) won’t earn you much money as compared to high paying keywords (Loans, Technology, Money and Finance…..etc)
- Traffic Volume: Traffic plays the most vital part in increasing your earnings and if you wish to earn big you have to work on your traffic. A big volume of quality traffic will probably get you good figures.
