Making Money with In Text Adverts

A form of pay per click advertising, in text advertising schemes such as Konterra and Vibrant Media will read your content looking for keywords which will then be turned into advert links. When a visitor hovers over the link then they will see the advert and if they proceed to click on the adverts then they will be taken to the advertisers site and you will get paid a small fee.

Advantages

As text adverts are targeted towards your visitors, they should be more likely to be interested enough to click on them. Also, as they turn you text into links, you will not need to set aside any space for adverts like you would for other advertising based methods.

Disadvantages

In text advertising can be intrusive and your visitors may lose some trust in your site if many of the links in your site turn out to be adverts. For this reason I am only going to use in text adverts on a small number of pages throughout this site, including this page. In Text Adverts can be usually be identified as adverts that are underlined twice and can be found on this page as an example.

Being acceped into text ad schemes

Each schemes policy will be different but from what I have seen the acceptance policies are quite similar to those of other PPC schemes. That is, content shouldn't be offensive or pornographic and the site should be content rich and without broken links. Once you have registered, you will find out will soon find out if your application has been approved at which point you can add code to your pages which will turn some of your text into adverts.
