AffinityClick is a fairly new PPC (pay-per-click) ad network helping you to make money with your website or blog, specializing in in-text and standard banner advertising. In-text advertising is an unobtrusive, user-initiated form of advertising wherein high-value words and phrases in your website's or blog's text content is underlined and highlighted a different color than your text content. When your site's visitors mouse-over these highlighted words, an 'ad bubble' appears that is contextually relevant to the content of the page. In-text advertising, being user-initiated, is arguably the most user-friendly form of advertising and converts well for most verticals and niches. Quality advertisers gravitate towards this method of online advertising as it sends highly converting traffic their way given that only truly interested individuals tend to A.) hover-over a highlighted word, and then B.) click on the advertisement.
AffinityClick is particularly valuable for websites and blogs whose content focuses on such things as product and service reviews, and whose readership is in a shopping/buying frame of mind.

For an advertiser, this decreases overall ad-spend, while increasing ROI (return on investment). For publishers/affiliates, this increases valid CTR (click-through rates), thereby making you more money. The in-text ad format is typically paid for by advertisers by way of PPC/CPC (pay-per-click/cost-per-click): An advertiser only pays for the clicks on his or her advertisement.
