Make money from Chitika - CPM analysis.

Chitika provides a combination of CPC, CPM and CPA ads and you are paid accordingly. However, I personally wanted to earn only through the CPM advertising since the clicks these adverts generated on my blog was not so considerable due to my blog niche. So, I asked chitika about how I can limit the ads to only pay-per-impression rather than the combination of all these ads and they told me how-to do it. You have to send a minimum of thousand impressions before they will start showing pay per impressions ads on your blog. They will till then analyze your blog for proper categories and the traffic quality.

 

Make money from Chitika - on CPM basis.

The rich media ads served from Chitika on your blog pays on impression basis. By default, Chitika shows a combination of the normal ads + rich media ads depending upon the availability and according to their some sort of algorithm. The good part is you can limit the ads displayed on your blog to only "rich media ads" show that each time an ad is shown, you are paid.

Enable Rich Media Ads

Navigate to Ads > Settings.

You will find that "Rich Media Ads" are by default preferred as Mixed. Change it to Always and save.

From now onwards, only CPM ads will be displayed on your blog. 

Important points regarding Rich Media Text. 

1. The fill rate may not be 100%. You might see some of your impressions counting out without any ads. However, gradually you will see a better fill rate.
2. Chitika will ask you to send a minimum of thousand raw impressions before they can server the Rich Media Ads on your blog. So you won't earn for the first thousand impressions.
3. Switching to only Rich Media Ads is not advisable if you have low traffic. Making money from CPM ads require a good amount of traffic.
4. If your blog is engaging and adverts receives good click through rate, then perhaps you should not switch.

Final Words: Do you use any money making CPM advertising networks? With Chitika, the rates are somewhat between $ 0.10 - 0. 18 per thousand impressions. How much your advertising network paying to you.

How to make money with Infolinks

Infolinks is a great way to monetize your blog. With Google AdSense getting more strict in approving small blogs these day, Infolinks is serving both a replacement and a complementary solution to the AdSense money making program.

How you make money with Infolinks.

Infolinks is a CPM advertising network i.e. it pays on according to ad views. The more ad-views you generate, the more money you will make with Infolinks.

Infolinks is basically an in-text advertising network. It selects keywords from your blog and associate an ad with it. Whenever a visitor hovers his mouse over these ads, you will earn some cents. There are other monetizing options like in-tag, in-search and in-frame. You can read more of it on infolinks website Infolinks for publishers.

The best part of Infolinks is that it is a CPM network. You do not need to wait till someone clicks on your ads or any sales is generated.

How much you can make money with Infolinks.

The answer to this question is the amount of traffic you have. Higher the traffic more you will earn. The normal CPM rates for Infolinks has been 0.5$/1000 adviews for me. Once, I calculated it according to the impressions of my blog rather than ads and the number was reduced to 0.23$. That means on an average I earn 0.25$ / 1000 visitors.

Note: I calculated it according to number of visitors. However, Infolinks pays on ad views. If you get 1000 visitors and no ad views you will not earn.

Why Infolinks and not any other in-text advertising programs to make money.

There are different factors which influence the success of an advertising program for you. Infolinks is a great way to make money since it accepts all country traffic, easy to integrate, the approval criteria is minimal and counts all impressions.
According to my niche and the source and amount of traffic I receive, Infolinks performed better for me.

Infolinks can be used with AdSense?

Yes. Infolinks can be used along with AdSense to make some extra money. They can be used with any other advertising solutions. I recommend you to try it out.

How you can make maximum money with Infolinks.

There is no fixed defined steps to earn more money. However these steps will make more money for you.

Implement all Infolinks products - in-text, in-tag, in-search, and in-frame.

Customize your infolinks text with the same color of your blog's text.

Selecting dotted pattern instead of double underlined performs better since it do not gives an impression that it is an ad.

Generate more traffic to earn more money.

Final Words: If you are banned from AdSense, you can try Infolinks to make money. You can use it along with AdSense to make money.
