In Text Advertising (Infolinks vs Kontera vs Adsense)

admin — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:12:31 +0000

There are several ways to monetize your website traffic but usually a beginner websites starts with Google Adsense. No doubt that Adsense is the best PPC service out there. However Adsense also allows webmasters to use third party PPC companies as well provided that their ads don’t look like those of Adsense. So after searching a lot on the web, I came to know that In Text Advertisement is probably the best PPC system to use along with Adsense. There is virtually no chance that the ads can look like Adsense ads so you are safe to use In Text Advertising services along with Adsense.

Now the second question is, “which in text advertising company is best?”. You will be able to see many comments in the comments section on this question but personally I only see two companies worthy to put on your website in the context of in text advertisement.

Infolinks
Kontera

Infolinks is a legit business, not a scam one. No doubt that infolinks is my first choice. I myself tried them on my website and have seen very good results so far. They are good, friendly and give you support when required. When you use their code on your website, the code automatically convert some keywords on your website to hyperlink ads. Infolinks admin panel provides a way to change colors of in text advertising links. In addition to that, you can change them to have double underlines if you want to separate them from your single line hyperlinks. Although the click rate of Infolinks is a way lower than Adsense but their CTR is always higher than Adsense which compensates the loss a bit. The only drawback of Infolinks I have seen so far is their surprisingly low rates for Asian traffic, other than that they are fine. If majority of your website traffic comes from any Asian country specially from India of Pakistan, then you probably should think once again before using Infolinks on your website.

Kontera is also a reputable in text advertisement PPC Company which is compatible with Adsense. You can use it along with Adsense without any worries. I haven’t seen any significant drop in my Adsense earning after addition of Infolinks or Kontera on my website so they are worth trying. If I analyze PPC share of my website income, Adsense has almost a share of 70 to 75% and Infolinks has a 25 to 30% which is not bad. Please also post your experiences with Kontera and Infolinks and other in text advertising companies in the comments section bellow.

Swagbucks Review (Scam or Legit)

After requests from various visitors, I decided to write a detailed review about Swagbucks.com. I faithfully tried my best to gather all the possible information about Swagbucks but I still cannot claim 100% accuracy of this review. First of all, I would like to mention that Swagbucks currently only registers visitors from USA, United Kingdom or Canada so if you are not from these 3 countries, please don’t waste your time on this topic. Swagbucks is a search based work online and earn type program. The basic idea is to search and earn points. A point is actually called a Swag bucks. It acts like their currency which is redeemable. You can use it to get prizes from a list available. Every prize has a price in SB (Swag Bucks), if you have sufficient SBs for an item, you can purchase it. So you don’t directly earn the money but you actually earn redeemable points. Swagbucks don’t have a membership fee so don’t worry about your money, even if it happens to be a scam, all you can lose is your time spent on it. I haven’t been reported any verified scam report about Swagbucks yet but I am still receiving reviews. For example, users say that the redeem prices are too high. Some members say that most of the redeemable things are actually useless posters and ever useful item has too high redeemed price. Some account locking reports are received but I think it is ignorable that’s because most of the users try to abuse every work online program.
Here are the Registration details for Swagbucks.com:
Yosef gorowitz P.O. Box 2748

It looks like the website owner resides in US so most likely it is not going to be a scam unless the address is fake. But US users can easily verify their legit entity. Swagbucks also has a blog where you can find their codes to increase your points. I usually try every work online program before posting a review on work online forum but Swagbucks refused to register me due to the fact that I am not from USA, United Kingdom or Canada. I will highly appreciate if you can post a review about Swagbucks in the comments section. Even if you don’t want to register on Swagbucks, revisit this page after a few days and you will find a lot of reviews from our visitors in the comments section.
Conclusion: For the time being, I haven’t received any Scam reports about the Swagbucks so you can give it a try. You are only required to search once or twice in a day which will take a couple of minutes so I think the risk it not too much however take a look on the comments section which will be updated continuously, may be you can find a scam report there by the time you visit.
