By Indian publishers I mean webmasters who publish Ads for Indian traffic, if your website/blog gets the bulk of traffic from US (for example) there are off course plenty of other choices.
Ever since I started monetizing my sites I was on the lookout for an Adsense Alternative, not that I was dissatisfied with Adsense but to keep my options open and try the alternates.
So far I have tried Adbrite, Bidvertiser, Kontera, Chitika, Tyroo and few CPM solutions with depressing results. With low Ad inventory for India Ads were either un-targeted or PSA. Even when the ads did load and get clicked the CPC was hardly 0.01$.
Now finally I believe I have found a real alternate to Adsense in Infolinks
I have been using Infolinks on few sites for the last two months now with average CTR of over 3% and 1$ eCPM. Now these figures can hardly be classified as GOLD but barring Adsense; other networks will be hard pressed to achieve these sorts of figures with Indian Traffic.
- Infolinks is in-text Advertising that doesn’t require any free space on your site and you don’t need to design your site around the Ads.
- They pay on Net45 basis, earnings accumulated in a month are paid within 45 days,( i was paid on the 30th day).
- Payments are via PayPal or bank wire transfer.
I would highly recommend Infolinks to all India webmaster, try Infolinks – you won’t regret.

Update: I would no longer recommend Infolinks If most of your traffic originates from India. The earnings have drastically fallen over the last few months.
