Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Infolinks
Display ads with no traffic minimum to join
Infolinks places in-text, in-frame and interstitial ads on sites that the managed networks will not take, because it sets no pageview floor at all. That is its whole reason to exist and it is a real one for a site that is growing. The formats are more intrusive than a standard banner, and the rate it pays is not published anywhere before you apply.
Our note
The lack of a traffic floor is the reason to list it and the reason to be careful: intrusive formats on a small site can cost more in readers than they pay. Run it against AdSense for a month and compare both the revenue and the bounce rate before keeping either.

Revive Adserver
Ad server you download and run yourself
Revive Adserver is software you install on your own hosting, so it does the counting rather than the selling. Campaigns, zones, targeting and delivery reports all live on a server you control, which means nothing sits between you and the advertiser and nothing takes a share of what you invoice. Setting it up is a PHP application and a database, and that is a real afternoon of work. Publishers who have already sold the slot are who this is for.
