I tried in-text advertising on this site for months and just turned it off today. I have two sites running the ads and the more highly targeted (content) site of mine received a better eCPM however both were very low.

Therefore I have removed the In-Text advertising tags as they did not yield as much revenue as I had hoped and the bright color highlighting ad underlining was distracting to site visitors. An example is below.

The site was yielding a $.04 eCPM which is not worth having the ads. I recommend other sources of revenue such as Text-Link-Ads, you can sign up here for free, and if you wish to advertise you can receive free $ to use. Text-Link-Ads allows you to sell a set number of links on your site and that has yielded much more revenue than the In-Text Advertising.
