Infolinks vs Vibrant Media, Which Pays More!
A year ago I touched on In-Text Ads and how much a particular company (Kontera) sucked, In the post I mentioned Info Links and Vibrant Media and that I was going to try those two companies out before I quite on In-Text Ads all together. Since Kontera was so Horrible there is no way that Info Links or Vibrant Media could be worst. I also spoke on how strict Vibrant Media was and how I kept getting turned down when I applied, they always gave some vague reason like type of content, traffic etc.
Eventually I said forget it and went with Info Links, I signed up to them last year and we all know how last year was as far as income is concerned but even in the peak of the recession Info Links still paid far better than Kontera did a year before. Below is a week earnings for Info Links from May.

Stumble ItI’m Sorry but Kontera Sucks, Don’t Even Waste Your Time.
To be honest Kontera was never my first choice when it came to In-Text Ads, but after Vibrant Media turned me down there wasn’t any other company other than Kontera that look promising. I signed up with Kontera late 2007 and I added it to my music site Hip Hop Music Dot Com, It was up and running for about 2 months but then I ended up changing my theme and forgot to place the code back on my site, which was probably due to the earnings not being very impressive.
9 months into 2008 Kontera contacts me talking about joining there program unaware that I was already affiliated with them. I told them I already tried the program and the results were less than mediocre. They told me that there ad inventory had grown drastically since the previous year and that they had a special promotion going on. I decided to give them a shot to see what was up and I must admit the ads were most certainly performing better than before. I was averaging about 300 clicks daily and that’s along side my Google Adsense earnings which were not affected, From October going into December of 2008 the earnings were really good and started to think well maybe Kontera could become a long term income stream.
