Publisher Approval Process

Almost all top ad networks have quite a hard application and approval policy, which destroys the potential of raising small and medium publishers. Ad networks like Adsense maintain very hard approval and ad running policies; on the other hand, Tribal Fusion ad network requires a minimum of 500,000 unique monthly visitors to get approved.

Infolinks is very kind to publishers of all size. It neither requires any minimum monthly visitors nor has very hard approval policy. However, to maintain the standard quality your website or blog must not be spammy or contain very less content. Therefore, if your site has a good amount of valuable contents you can easily get approved by Infolinks and show your ads instantly right after the approval.

Type Of Ad Networks

If you are familiar with ad network types you might know that there are several types of ad networks such as CPC, CPM, CPV, CPA etc. Infolinks is CPC and CPM based ad network.

• CPC type: CPC represents the term Cost Per Click which means you will get paid every time when your visitor will click on the ad link.
• CPM type: CPM means Cost Per Mile (Thousand) where you will get paid for every thousand impressions. You no need to count ad clicks in this case.

Types Of Ads That Infolinks Provides

Here comes the major difference between Infolinks and other ad networks. Most of the ad networks provide ad banners of various size but Infolinks provides a simple code or plugin for CMS based website which is used to customize ads. Basically Infolinks has 5 types of ads to show on the publisher’s website.

Here is the detail of those 5 types of ads: 

InText ad

InText ad will appear in the content of your site and it will look like natural links. People need help understanding that it is one type of ad. InText ad has a very high click-through rate which helps the publisher to earn handsome amount of money from advertising.

InFold ad

InFold ad is quite similar to the pop-under ad. This type of ad will appear at the bottom of the browser just above the fold. Most people don’t like this type of ad as it hides a lower part of the content. Thus it seems disturbing to most of the people including me. Don’t worry, you can easily disable this ad if you want.

InTag ad

These are also high-converting ads, just like InText ads. An InTag ad looks like a tag or sub-menu and gets many clicks as it looks natural to visitors. You can place an InTag ad at the top and bottom of each page.

InFrame ad

The InFrame ad gives the advertiser big exposure as it consists of large side banners. Basically, in this case, two side banners slide in from both the right and left sides of the browser when someone visits the site. These are sticky and thus move up and down when visitors scroll the page.

InScreen ad

An InScreen ad is similar to a pop-up ad, which appears over the page and gives the advertiser's ad maximum exposure. Infolinks recently introduced this type of ad, which is good for making money fast as it has a high paying rate.

Payment details Of Infolinks

Infolinks pays money on NET30 system-based, which means the publisher will get the money after 30 days of fulfilling the minimum payout threshold. You can set a minimum threshold as low as $50 to get quick payment. It has several payment methods, including Paypal, Payoneer, E-check, ACH, Western Union, and Wire transfer.

Will Infolinks ad suit to your blog or website?

As Infolinks is a text-based display advertising network, your website or blog must be rich with content for a better experience. Therefore, it depends on the type of website that you own.

If you have any video or image-based website, then InfoLinks will not work well for you. Besides, it will also not suit with one-page websites. However, if you have a good amount of content with several pages, then Infolinks is like a blessing for you.
