Guide Review - InfoLinks In-Text Advertising Script
This in-line advertising provider claims to offer a larger share of income from advertising than other in-line advertisers do and comments I have received from people who have tried the various in-line scripts back up that statement. I can't answer the question of which provides the best income from my own knowledge because I am still looking for an in-line advertiser whose script is actually small enough to use with web pages without significantly slowing the load time and driving away visitors. The script provided by this service is still four times too big for me to be prepared to even test their service.
This script does have the advantage over some of its competitors in that it has both a smaller script than their competitors use (some scripts are twice the size of this one) and the script also works across all the major browsers (which some competitor scripts don't). One apparent disadvantage though is that the example ads on their site require not only JavaScript but also Flash in order for them to work and there is no indication as to whether you can set up the service without requiring that your visitors have Flash.
