Even though it isn’t an online business opportunity and you won’t learn anything from this Infolinks review, it’s surely worth mentioning because Infolinks means easy money and it is an ideal opportunity to make some extra money as a blogger.

What is Infolinks?

Infolinks is a PPC In Text Advertising Solution and it works real simple. You insert the code into your theme and the code automatically finds keywords related to the ads. When you hover over these keywords you’ll see a floating informational bubble.

How to insert the Infolinks code to your blog.

If you know how to manually install Google Analytics than you’ll know how to do this too, in fact the Infolinks script code needs the be placed just before the Google Analytics code right before the closing HTML tag in your footer.php.

I was approached by someone from Infolinks with an invite to start using their ad network and I was a bit hesitant (since we receive those invites weekly) but I decided to give it a test run on one of my old blogs The World of Office. I mainly use this blog for testing now, we stopped posting their on a frequent basis but we still get a decent amount of traffic.

It took me 30 seconds to copy the line of code and inserting it into my footer. I can’t disclose any CTR or ad impressions but if you’re familiar with The World of Office you know that we don’t have these ads live for a while. Today I was checking my stats on the various networks and found that these 30 seconds resulted in a $223.67 profit. I expect a payment any day now via PayPal and I think I’ll drink a beer on them.

The advantages of Infolinks.

• Easy implementation with one line of code.
• Set and forget money making opportunity.
• Doesn’t take up any other ad space.
• Many categories to choose from to get the most relevant ads shown.
• Easily recognizable with the double underlines.
• Any desired color possible.
• Since their appearing floating bubbles you’ll get a high click trough rate (equals $$).

And one of the biggest advantages compared to other In Text Advertising Solutions for me was that they are easily disabled per individual post when you don’t want them displayed. You can do this with an easy piece of code <!–INFOLINKS_OFF–>.

One of the other advantages compared to other high paying networks is that you don’t need a million monthly pages. I think the only requirement is that the blog cannot be about adult or gambling stuff and the number of daily visitors isn’t important. Even if you just started your blog, Infolinks will accept you.

I hope you found this Infolinks review useful and if you sign up for an account be sure to let me know in the comments what you think of it. You can find more info here. I’m off now implementing it on all my other blogs.
