The Best In-Text Ad Networks
In-Text Advertisements work by double underlining contextually relevant keywords on a web page and upon mouse-over opens a small bubble like box that displays the ad. Self Made Minds has done a comparison of the best In-Text Ad Networks like Kontera ContentLink, Chitika Linx and Amazon.com Context Links.
I have been using Kontera on this blog for many months now and it has been performing quite well. I also recently started experimenting with Chitika Linx on my new hardware review blog and hope it does better than Kontera.
I have not tried the Amazon Context Links yet but it may perform well this time of the year as people are in the ‘buying mode’ now with Christmas nearing. Also remember that Amazon only pays you a commission on any thing that is sold unlike Chitika and Kontera that pay you per click.
Chitika Linx and Amazon’s Context Links will perform better for product based sites, for other sites you can try Kontera or Intellitxt (if you can get accepted). Recently TribalFusion launched their own In-Text Ad program called EchoTopic (I haven’t tried it yet).
Before you try out any In-Text Advertisements, let me tell you that they increase page load time and your regular readers may find them annoying. So you may want to avoid showing it on your latest posts. I have removed Kontera and AdSense on posts that are in the Blogging, Making Money Online and WordPress categories using the method I mentioned here.
Do you use In-Text Advertisements? If so, which?
