In-Text Ads as Standard
As publishers, we already know that placing in-text ads on our websites helps us earn advertising money with minimal interference to our visitors’ user experience. In fact, so many websites now have in-text ads on, that it has become standard. But then we search on… And there’s good news. A new ad unit has joined the club.
The New Tag Cloud
Meet the new and improved Tag Cloud Ad Unit. Based on the advanced contextual engine and language algorithm of in-text advertising, a new ad unit now offers a supplement on top of in-text ads. A dynamic tag cloud that features keywords and terms related to the content of the page that work similarly to in-text ads. This means that the links within the tag cloud operate as triggers for ads within bubbles that open up upon a hover and disappear harmlessly if the mouse is moved away.
This is how the tag cloud looks like:

One Click Integration
Adding this new tag cloud takes a minute. Well, no. Much less actually. It takes a single click and then the tag cloud is placed automatically on the bottom of the main text areas on your website. If you’ve been following this blog Online Siesta, you already know that I write here about In Text Ads but also that I work in the industry for Infolinks. So this is the disclaimer: Infolinks is the only in-text ads network that offers the new Tag Cloud ad unit. To add the unit to your website you need to be a registered publisher with Infolinks, then – log into your account and under Integration, simply click Yes on the Tag Cloud tab. Within 5 minutes it will appear on your website and your potential earnings start to accumulate.
How Much will the Tag Cloud Ad Unit Earn?
Different websites yield different advertising revenues, this is clear. The tag cloud ad unit works the same way – the results vary between websites. However, if you provide high quality content on your website and your visitors are engaged, you can expect a relatively high click through rate on the unit, since it appears at the end on the content, exactly in place for the next click. Also, since the ad unit is on pay per click basis (PPC), you should expect a boost to your in text ads earnings.
This is how the tag cloud looks like upon a hover with an ad open:

The tag cloud is available in different color palettes so that it offers graphic flexibility for different looks. It is still new and I would be looking forward to any feedback. Good Luck!
You can see the tag cloud in action where I took the images from: My Guy Of Kind – Gift Ideas for Guys. Oh, and I’m about to add it to this website as well, so simply scroll down a little more to see it here…
