Some of you were probably thinking you had a virus on your computer when you suddenly saw some words become clickable links on the Vizzed.com index page and throughout the Retro Game Room and Video Game Room. I'm testing out Infolinks to see how much I can earn from them and what they do is they turn various keywords into links.

I know it's ugly and an eye sore but I'm just trying it out for now to see what kind of money can be made from it since vizzed has been suffering financially for a while now. There's a good chance that I wont end up keeping it but if I do, I'd limit where it's displayed. I'll probably only be testing it out for a few days.

Staff : You guys should probably know about this since some users will probably make a thread about this or even send a private message to the RGR Staff inbox. I actually got a PM from a user earlier asking me about it.

Ahhhh that make sense now, thought my laptop contracted another, more discreet, adware virus from a torrent I finished downloading yesterday. Now I can stop scouring my system to try and find it lol Hope this works out for you in the end.

I'm confused - I'm not seeing anything. Will this work regardless of which browser is being used? I just haven't seen anything like what you've described.

I think Firefox might block AdWords by default. Possibly antivirus too.
I am not seeing them either.

I do see them, tested in the RGR with Chrome.

Not that much of an eye sore, to be honest. The color is of a light blue, so there's not much difference. I wouldn't mind in having them, but just a suggestion: don't have them in the game's featured review or it does become an eye sore no matter how you look at it.

By the way, seemingly all infolinks I've gone through redirect to Facebook. Is this any kind of test of linking our facebook profiles to Vizzed, or am I being too optimistic?

Vanelan :
geeogree :

I'm seeing it with both Firefox and Google Chrome. If you have ads blocked then you probably aren't going to see them.


EX Palen : Having it in a game review is probably where it'd earn the most money actually.

I'm not sure why they'd all be going to Facebook.

Well, as long as it's on the game page, that's fine. I was just saying because some words are used in every review, and possibly other documents. If the links don't appear in board posts or profile comments, no problem

Yeah, it's strange how they all link to Facebook. It's not the same image and text everytime, but still. I thought you only tried links for one website since you're testing them, but seems I was wrong.

I had to turn off my Adblock to see them, and yeah, they all link to Facebook, and for me, they all show the exact same thing.

Strange. I turned off ad blocker for Vizzed so that you wouldn't lost out on any revenue I might generate with how much time I spent on Vizzed.

I'll keep my eyes open but still not seeing it. I might not be 100% sure what I'm actually looking for though so that might be part of it

Vanelan :
geeogree : Yeah they're on the site index and all RGR and VGR pages. They're not on the forum pages yet.

Here's what the ad links look like:


In this example, 'online for free' and 'get information' are the clickable links. It takes random keyword phrases and makes them clickable. Also, when you highlight over them, you get an ad.

Yeah, I noticed that actually. Just letting you know, I won't be clicking on any of those links.

Davideo7 : Also, this is off topic, but I think you should look at these threads if you haven't already. These issues have been going on for too long: https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90835
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=90586&ppp=20&page=1#1217292

I actually asked about the second link last month on your ask anything thread, I don't know if you ever looked at it because there was never a response on the thread I gave the link to. Went ahead and linked the most detailed of the posts

I've removed the Infolinks for the time being since it wasn't earning enough to justify having it up. I may re-add it in the future.

Oh wow, I hope that if you were to re-add the infolinks, they'd make more money the 2nd time. I've seen the site's traffic drops in the few years I've been here and I'm looking forward to that eventually being solved.

Someday I'm hoping to be able to donate quite a bit of money to the site, maybe at least $100 because this site needs all the help it can get financially and I'd love to contribute
