It seems that infolinks really wants to expand their business and for the purpose they are luring more publishers to join them along with their existing publishers with offering several incentives.

Some times ago they lowered their minimum payout to $50 from $100 for all form of payments, they offered their publishers with Payoneer prepaid card.

Now they have introduced WordPress plugin for their publishers, which will make it easier to integrate infolinks code in WordPress powered blog. WordPress is the most popular CMS used today by bloggers.  However even today it is not hard to implement their ad code but this will make it a lot easier for the persons who are not accustomed to HTML or PHP and find it hard to edit codes.

This plugin works as any other WP plugin, just upload, activate and configure and that’s all.

If you are infolinks publisher, you can download this plugin from here and befit from this new initiative.

Are you a Kontera Publisher? Yes Right the very network which pays pennies for per click. In other words you can say Kontera is a PPC Network. You got it right, but here PPC doesn’t mean Pay Per Click, it means Pennies Per Click, which it pays to its publishers.

Now back to their announcement, from May 3^rd 2010, they have lowered their minimum payment threshold to $50 and it will be applicable across all payment methods including Paypal, wire Transfer or ACH and Check payments.

There is no change in payment terms, it is still net 30, means if you reach the threshold limit in May you will get your payment on June 1^st.

How to change the minimum payout:

1. Log in to your Publisher Center (as a reminder, your username is your email address)

2. Choose the “My Account” Tab

3. Choose the “Payment Method” page from the top navigation bar

4. Select your Payment Type from the drop-down menu

5. Type “50″ into the entry field for Minimum Payout

6. Hit “Submit”

But keep in mind to change the minimum payment amount details before 15^th of the month otherwise it would be changed in the next payment cycle.

Hope you all will be benefited with this news, and happy Kontera Publishing.

After a long silence and meetings with the Reserve Bank of India, Paypal has started bank transfers in Indian banks but with effect they need some more information like contact number and PAN Card number.

So what does it mean?

Now RBI and Income Tax department will have easy access about the details about your transactions. If you are paying taxes honestly and retain invoices for all of your transactions, its fine for you but if you don’t it may create a problem. Who knows, they have a pact with RBI to provide information of each and very transaction.

So either do business with paypal in accordance with the IT department rules or stop using Paypal altogether.
