Welcome xxxx(your name)
inLinks allows you to sell simple in content ads that appear just like any other link on your page but without the annoying pop up!
They seems pretty simple and straight forward.They tell you (the publisher )that inL!nks helps you sell l!nk from your blog.What they never mention is the risk behind this evil money making method.
As you might know Google has been very clear that selling links that pass PageRank is a violation of webmaster quality guidelines.
Do you really care?
You probably think there are not easy for Google to detect those links if it is done properly.(I have to agree with you,no machine in the would can do that).
You are paid a flat rate per month per ad sold.The money is there,although it's against the Google’s Ad rules.The reality is there are bunch of bloggers earning money selling l!nk out there with or without middle man/marketplace involve.
The Risk and The Money
If you linking to legitimate and relevant site it's difficult for anyone to know it's paid ads (including Google).If the Advertisers willing to buy it with good price, and you (the Publisher) are trying to earn some extra money from your blog,you can think about it.
Where can you earn money instead?
I am not using inlink since they doesn't supports Blogspot.(they supports Wordpress, Drupal, Moveable Type, Joomla and Ruby on Rails sites).But even they do support blogspot i don't think it is the right place to go due to Very Little info about the programs.(I am not saying they are scam)
Quote:
"We use our own pricing algorithm that factors in: the theme and traffic of your website, as well as market demand. We feature a 50/50 split of the gross profit of any ads sold. We handle serving, scheduling, billing, customer service, and sales."
From the about quote.It's clearly stated you have NO control over the price of the ads you going to sell.Whats more?
The theme
This probably the most professional pricing algorithm .They take the" theme"as a consideration.
50/50 split
They offer 50/50.I know that's the price for most marketplace but hey do you know linkworth offer 70/30 split?
You been told you're not allow to summit your blog to inlink if you're using blogger blog.Still there is a way to earn money from it,the i.e. affiliate program.Go to "affiliate area"(by clicking affiliates )They actually asking you:
Are you using Blogger/Blogspot?
Does it mean you can now earn money from affiliate program?Most likely "YES" since they asking you to Place the script where you wnt the banner to appear on your site and become an affiliate!
You ask,"how much can I earn from Inlink Affiliate program?"To be honest with you ,I have spend hour to figure it out.they is very little info about the affiliate programs.I just thinking even i can make some money it wont for long.
SEO in the evil way
To advertiser,there might be not a great place for online advertising but it good to improve your ranking if you have money.SEO your blog in the evil (and dangerous)way.
ps:
I do have wordpress blog elsewhere with nice THEME.
