New Self-Serve Traffic Source

I am using Infolinks to monetize a domain that was banned from adsense and now I read that they are opening self-serve platform.
I think that its worth testing because they have many publishers.

I am pasting part of the article by WebsiteMagazine:


Infolinks, an in-text advertising network, has announced the launch of a new self-service in-text advertising marketplace.
The new service allows for advertisers to quickly create an in-text advertising campaign that includes various target options. Some included features in the self-service marketplace are real-time reporting, keyword selection, keyword bidding and advanced optimization.

“Infolinks' new self-service model now makes it easy for anyone familiar with Google Adwords to quickly launch an In-Text Advertising campaign,” says Tomar Treves, chief marketing officer of Infolinks.

“Other services match advertisements to relevant keyword searches, the entire context of the website or the interests of the user. With Infolinks In-Text Advertising Marketplace, people are actively choosing to open the advertisement in a contextually relevant environment making them much more open to the advertiser's message.”
Use of the new service costs $5 a day. On average, Infolinks delivers in-text advertising campaigns across 250 billion pages and reaches 350 million unique visitors each month.

Has a nice reach, are they on any major websites?

Ill tell you once ive had some traffic.

Got my first campaign setup.

If it has decent traffic then its definitely an interesting traffic source. Its very similar to google.

* you can bid exact / broad match
* you can have negative keywords
* its got a bidding mechanism combined with a max cpc
* lots of token you can ad into your ads (like {city:}) and into your destination URL to track keywords
* looks like you can pass keyword {keyword:}, query {query:}, and referring site {feed:} to your campaign to help optimize
* ive not seen a way of excluding referring sites but im sure its there
* you have adgroups, and ads
* you can let it rotate ads based on equal impressions, CTR, and..... CTA!!

Heres a screenshot of my campaign setup in CPVLab



Ill report back later

Used to be on Ezinearticles pre-Panda. Looks like they went back to more, more and yet some more AdSense & Chitika ads.

They are still on Squidoo (I think)

I've activated an account but i got 0 click for nice traffic keywords in 24hours,
this is their answer about my issue when all my bids were 0.10:

[...]Also although most of your bids are set to #1 keep in mind the min bid in the US is .10. And on average we show 3 ads per page. So if other advertisers are bidding higher than .10 on keywords that show up on the same page as yours their ads will show and yours won't.[...]

i'm constantly raising my bid from 0.10 to 0.20 to 0.40 for acne related keywords
still no traffic

what do you think ?

They have a very small user base, try more general keywords that have more volume.
