I’m happy to share here for the first time that Infolinks has recently made public its latest feature – Related Tags. This feature was initially developed as a trial to leverage the ability of the Infolinks algorithm to choose powerful keywords and match them to the most relevant ads. But the trial became a phenomenal success; the Related Tags feature has had a major impact on publisher earnings – much higher than expected.
New Feature: Related Tags
The Infolinks Related Tags feature adds a unique In Text cloud within the content of a web page with carefully selected informational...

Your big blog can earn you $50,000 on top of your current revenues. This is no joke and it’s not some dubious get rich quick plan. If you give me three minutes and read this post with real advice from my experience, you will see that I’m actually willing to guarantee this income. You will be required to open your mind a little bit, talk about your concerns, and eventually place in-text ads on your blog, but this is now easier than ever and with some optimization, would not affect your community of readers. If you’re not ready yet, I would at least invite you to discuss this with me. So, are...

This weekend I plan attending WordCamp Chicago, where I hope to engage and have fun with the WordPress community and participate in the launch of the new Infolinks In Text Advertising Plugin for WordPress. Since I will have the honor of addressing the audience, I wrote down my thoughts about what I plan saying and I would appreciate any feedback.
WordCamp Chicago Speech
Good morning. I feel right at home here at WordCamp Chicago. My brother and his family live nearby, so I get to Chicago often. I have been using WordPress for my own blog OnlineSiesta.com, which celebrates its first anniversary...

In Text Ads on OnlineSiesta
Well, after several months of writing from my experience about In Text advertising, you can finally find double underline link ads on my site as well, and not only on the In Text Ads Example page. I will be looking forward to hearing any feedback you may have.
The In Text Ads Integration: Easy!
How easy or difficult was the integration? I was amazed. It took me less than a single minute to set it up and since the website was already approved (for the Example Page), the double underline links appeared immediately. I know, I sell such ads for a living and promote them…...

When Visitors Complain about In Text Ads
Sometimes, despite their subtleness and clear advantages to the website’s publisher, visitors do complain about the introduction of in-text ads to a website. Most often, this would happen when a website has a community of regular visitors who are not always open to changes. From my experience, the number of complaints will be very low when compared to the number of visitors and they will also disappear after a short while. Nonetheless, sometimes a publisher must deal with the complaints. This is especially true when the complaining visitor is an important...

The Original: Double Underline Links
In text advertising comes in many formats. The original and most recognized format for the hooks – the highlighted terms which carry the ad bubble – is the double underline. But there are other formats that could be more suitable for your website and it’s important to know the differences.
I already wrote a tip relevant to this topic: use a distinct format for in text ads. In text ads should be subtle enough not to interrupt uninterested readers, and yet they should send a clear signal to readers informing them about available additional information. Using...

In Text Ads on your Site are Not merely a Money Machine
After a few months with in text ads on your website, you will probably get used to the monthly payments and accumulated revenues. At this stage, many publishers tend to think of in text ads as a simple money machine. The integration was easy and after some optimization they require no maintenance. But then, sometimes the average earnings change – either up or down – and publishers hurry to ask: What happened? Before rushing into conclusions, it’s better to understand the industry in which in text ads networks operate. This can shed some...
