Infolinks In-text Ad Marketplace

Infolinks recently launched a new service 'In-text advertising marketplace' that lets advertisers quickly create campaigns at low cost to reach more than 250 billions pages. 

It's easy to set up account and create campaigns. It is just like google adwords but with more flexible options to manage sub-campaigns. Conversion rate on infolinks is also much better than google adwords and microsoft adcenter. Advertisers can set up campaign within five minutes at the cost of 5$/day. Each campaign allows advertisers to set categories, geolocation, keywords for their campaign.
Advertisers are going to benefit from this self-serving marketplace when they create their campaign at lowest possible cost.

If any reader hovers over double-underlined link, he'll see the advertisement bubble. If he's not interested then he can simply move mouse away from it and bubble disappears. This helps avoids clicks from un-interested visitors. As the ad-content is now more relevant to pages it becomes easy to get more clicks from readers and results in better conversion.

So what's in it for publishers ?

This ad marketplace is going to bring more advertisers from variety of niches. So you'll get more advertisers bidding for keywords on your webpages. If publisher is getting more traffic to any particular page then CPC cost for that page will also increase. This will ultimately increase the revenue of publishers. You don't have to rely on any other in-text ad platform anymore.

DuckDuckGo Search Result Filtering for Original Software

It pains as developer when someone hosts my software and tells their reader that downloading software from my server could be dangerous and same software should be downloaded from other sources. It also pains me when they rank higher for my software, still my users and make money off them. Just because it is free software, it's open to abuse by these people. 

I made a thread on Duckduckgo on this topic. If you're interested in discussing the issue, feel free to post on the forum.
