I have realized that Sherab Tenzin (owner of this blog) has signed up with online advertising program and has started monetizing his blog-To Learn Blogging. We can see various ads of it being displayed.
But in this post, I want to make you understand whether one can really make money out of infolinks ads.
When more bloggers hop in and decide to monetize their blogs with display of infolinks ads, it appears tempting. But we have to understand the truth.
We know that ads of Infolinks can be shown in six formats. It's being shared already by Sherab in this post.
I really don't like Infolinks showing ads of Facebook signups in all of its in text and in tag ads.
If you don't believe what I have to say, you can open this blog and make your cursor hover above those infolinks ads. All ads will be that of Facebook signup ads.

What we can really make out of this is that Facebook must be the highest sole advertiser of Infolinks.
When all ads are that of one advertiser, we can also say that it doesn't have good relationships with other such advertisers. No diversification in ads.
And let us get to the point. When all the ads are of Facebook signups, how many readers of the blog will actually create Facebook account. These days almost all have Facebook accounts. This means probably at the most few will create. So the possibility of making good money out of infolinks ads will be bleak.

But I am not discouraging from monetizing your blog with Infolinks. I just wanted to say that you must be really analytically calculative. You must do cost-benefit analysis.
Let us list few costs and benefits of monetizing a blog with infolinks. Because they will probably help you in deciding whether to monetize a blog with it or not.
Costs:
When infolinks ads are activated in the blog, appearance of the blog gets disturbed and doesn't look professionally clean-readers may not love it.
In text ads provide links to many texts within the posts. This would confuse readers in knowing a ads' link and real link.
The ads make navigation across the website quite cumbersome. This may drive away the visitors from the first glance.
All the ads are that of Facebook signups. Hardly anyone would create Facebook account just because your blog has the ads.
Benefits:
Your blog's content will make money. But this depends on number of clicks your blog can bring unto those ads.
It's another alternative if you want to monetize a blog's contents. Other popular advertising program like that of Google Adsense has strict rules and regulations.
When I gave both costs and benefits of monetizing a blog's contents with Infolinks, I am sure you must have been taken on fence-not knowing whether to activate infolinks ads or not in your blog.
Recommendations
If you really want to monetize your blog and has good contents, you can apply for Google Adsense. Ads diversification is very good.
If you have applied for Google Adsense and your blog didn't qualify for it then you can signup with Chitika and Amazon.
If you want different ads of different advertisers, you can signup for infolinks. It will take quite a time to make money from infolinks alone.
If you are blogging purely out of passion and doesn't want to monetize your blog's contents, don't signup for any other such programs. They distort the professional appearances and designs of a blog.
