Amazing video and infolinks rocks!!!  Soon it will take over google adsense in terms of no of publishers & advertiser. I had a very bad experince with google adsense and switched to infolinks. I can say that they pay   good over Text ads click on your website - enabling you to optimize the user experience and maximize your revenues as well. I would like to recommend infolinks to all my visitors. Thanks for going through the post and watching the video.
