Making money online is not a difficult job if you are using a right approach. But unfortunately, I have seen many bloggers who are working day and night but are not able to generate much income from their blog. The only reason is they don’t know which monetization model to follow.
Many bloggers only think about Google Adsense. If Google Adsense is rejected either they get dishearten or again start waiting for Google Adsense to be approved. It is good to go for Google Adsense but if you are not getting success, then meanwhile you can try other Ad networks also. If you surf for Adsense alternatives then the first thing stood up will be the Infolinks 🙂

InfoLink is one of the best income sources for bloggers who are tired of getting rejected by Google AdSense. It is one of the leading company in in-text advertising. Also, you can use Google Adsense with Infolinks as well 🙂 So, I thought to write an article on Infolinks reviews.
How InfoLinks Works?
The best thing about Infolinks is it does not annoy visitors through Ads. Also, it does not eat up your website space as the ads are directly inserted in the text. This ad network uses some keywords from a website to showcase advertiser’s ads. These in-text ads will look like normal links to website readers and thus will result in lots of clicks and money to be made for its publishers. The more clicks/ad views you get from your visitors, the more money you will make.

Why Should One Go For Infolinks?
Below are the few things that stats why one should go for Infolinks:
- Getting approval is simple.
- It serves Text Ads and these are better than banner ads. It offers their publishers more with text advertising and its the most efficient way to make decent money. So when you compare with Adsense or any other big ads tycoons, they mostly focus on Banner Ads. But some people won’t like banners ads and they feel those ads annoy them. So they try to avoid such ads. Also, nowadays users are using Ad-blocker browser extension also so banner ads may not show up on the site; thus decreasing earnings. On the other hand, text ads will be more convenient for all publishers.
- If you are writing quality content with high paying keywords you can earn decent money. This need to be focused as the ads show their ads with your content niche and the keywords. So the high paying keywords give you more money.
- Provides various customization options also. You can choose text ads color (text which is selected by Infolinks to show ads and underlining colors) based on your blog theme colors 🙂 This way it will help you to get more clicks.
- Provides 24×7 Customer Support. In the case of any issues, you just need to send your queries and you will get the solution asap.
Infolinks Ad Formats
Infolinks provides you with 4 monetization options; you have four types of display ads to choose from. You can activate just one of these four options and you may also activate all the monetization options. Below are different types of ads:
- InFold– Targets only your search traffic with ads relevant to their searched terms in non-disruptive footer ads. InFold adds navigational value and another SEO layer to your site while delivering ads pertaining to exactly what your search traffic is looking for.
- InText– Double underline your best keywords to monetize your written content. A simple hover of a mouse opens an ad bubble containing an ad matched to the context of your keywords. Fully customize the look and volume of InText ads on your website pages.
- InScreen: Provides an attractive page takeover that pops up and covers your web page.
- InTag– Presents a range of keywords relevant to the context of your site. Choose between one or two rows of links that open a relevant ad bubble upon a mouse hover. InTag manages to capture a spectrum of users’ interests and invite engagement with its range of keywords.
- InFrame– Attractive skyscraper display banners placed in the extra real estate in the margins of wide-screen monitors only. These ads are matched to your website’s category and are intelligently revealed only on traffic originating from wide-screen monitors and customized to fit perfectly, without disturbing your site’s layout or user experience at all. Inframe ads are efficient to generate high revenue.
- InArticle: Infolinks has recently started inArticle ads also. These ads are visible in the content itself when the user scrolls the web page. I have found it very decent and eye-catching. You must have noticed that I am also using these.
Also, read the article on ShareASale Merchant Review to know why it is the best affiliate program.

Eligibility criteria for sites to qualify with Infolinks
Joining the Infolinks Ad network is quite easy and straightforward, its platform is open to any online publisher, big or small, with no setup fees, no minimum requirements for page views or visitors and no hidden commitments.
But yes, they do not allow content that can be deemed as negative in nature, illegal or offensive in any way. The baseline here is that they don’t accept anything illegal!
Payment Threshold and How Do I receive my Earnings?
It has a minimum payout threshold of $50 if you are using PayPal, eCheck, ACH and Payoneer as your payment mode and your earnings need to exceed the minimum payout threshold for your selected payment method before you can receive your earnings.
If you have selected Bank Wire Transfer OR Western Union has your payment mode, the minimum threshold requirement is $100. You will get paid once your earnings exceed the payment threshold for your chosen mode of payment.
Payment Method | Minimum Payment |
eCheck/Local Bank Transfer | $50 |
Wire Transfer | $100 |
Payoneer Prepaid debit card | $50 |
PayPal | $50 |
Best Method | eCheck/Local Bank Transfer |
It offers eCheck/Local Bank Transfer facility to Indian publishers as well.
Another good thing is Infolinks earnings are far better than many other ad networks out there.
Can You use Infolinks with Adsense?
Yes, you can safely use Infolinks on the same page where you are monetizing with AdSense. But you have to ensure the pop-up created by hovering the mouse on ads, should not cover AdSense ads. For this you can use <!– INFOLINKS_ON–> and <!– INFOLINKS_OFF–> at the start and end of the content area of your blog. This way ads will be displayed only in your content area part.
If you need to stop Infolinks from popping up, you can just go to your account and remove particular ad format.
Compatibility with Mobile Devices
Yes, It is very compatible with mobile devices. Its Ad units are enabled on mobile devices, so you do not lose revenues when your readers access your website via their mobile devices.
Infolinks also has an Android/ iOS app that you can install and monitor your Infolinks account and revenues generated with your mobile also.

Nakshatra says
Hello
Recently I got approval for my website from Infolink ad Team.
Ads are appearing only in Home Page of my site. If I am visiting to particular post of my site then there is no ads.
Why is this happening?
Can anyone suggest me & how to fix this problem.

Great Review about infolinks, Thanks and best of luck.
Yasar Ali says
According to my experience with Infolinks, their Ads are quite boring and that’s the reason most bloggers don’t use Infolinks Ad Network.
However, those webmasters who don’t take care of the visitors or the ads don’t affect site visitors should go for Infolinks.
ibuildblog says
infolinks one of the best after adsense you can choose both adsense or infolinks in one website
Thanks for the sharing
pari lochib says
sir really great information . infolinks are best but what about adnow ! is it safe to use adnow in my blog.
Brenda says
Hey Mohit,
Great Review, but I have few questions in my mind after reading this.
I want to know, whether Infolinks is good for small blogs or sites having visitors around 4-5k monthly?
Will it work converting those visitors into some secondary income or I am also thinking about using CPA network?
Which should I use for best secondary income? CPA or InfoLinks?
aditya says
infolinks pay only for click or impression
Sonu Rajput says
Thanks To Share This Awesome Information For All New Bloggers And Websit . I Like It

Hi Brenda,
Thanks for sharing your honest views. Yes, I do agree that AdSense is better in terms of generating revenue. That’s why I mentioned if we can use AdSense with Infolinks 🙂 Since Infolinks is easy to get approved, it is a good way to start earning for new bloggers. Thanks again 😀
Brenda Smith says
Indeed a Great post.
But according to me, none of the adsense alternative can give the revenue as much as Adsense can give. I tried infolinks and I had worst experience with it. After having huge amount of traffic, I was able to make only 100-200$.
Because my blog was banned by Adsense. If this wasn’t happened then that traffic can surely make around $2k+.
That’s why infolinks is far away from Adsense in terms of generating revenue.
Well this was my honest review about Infolinks.
BTW Thanks for sharing it with us.
Admin says
Oh good !!!! I thought you are embedding script directly to your blog. For plugin, it is mandatory to add PID as it is your tracking link. Good luck 🙂
parinda says
Thanks a lot for reply. They are showing now after I added PID in plugin settings.
Admin says
Hi Parinda,
After customization is complete, it will show the ads in few hours. To be sure, you can open your page source and check Infolinks code is embedded correctly.
parinda says
Nice review. How long will it take to show ads after done with the customization process??? I have done that and ads are not showing even after an hour.
