The First Check from Kontera

Filed in: Make Money Online — June 17th, 2007

I received the first check from Kontera Technologies Inc for the in-text advertisements on LiewCF.com while I was away for fun.

I joined the Kontera ContentLink program few months ago, it is a contextual advertisement which turns keyword on web page into a link in real time. When you mouse-over the link, a tool tip layer will pop-up with relevant advertising information. Publishers get paid on a Cost-Per-Click basis.

Setting up Kontera ContentLink is as easy as placing a Javascript block on your web page. Everything else is automated. For advanced publishers, you can customize the ContentLink link color, control over keyword, advertiser, and topics, ContentLink area placement, and text filter.

My two cents

Kontera ContentLink ad is out performing than I expected. It is one of my best performing ad programs now. It is “set and forget it”. But your site need to have certain traffic in order to enroll the program. Also, your readers might find the ad layer annoying. Visit Kontera for more information.

    Why they DO send a check after all! I’ve been with Kontera for 3 months and made nearly $200 and still waiting for my check. I think they’re okay except for the terrible reporting and user admin – practically nothing you can control…

    Looks like Kontera is a good earner. BUT i think its a very annoying form of advertising so I will not be adding it to my blog.

    Weird right now my eCPM is actually higher on kontera than on adsense. I must be doing something right with kontera or something very wrong with adsense.

    In my experience, Kontera is one the worst of the partners we’ve ever had. Right now they are tanking with pay outs down over 60% this year. They have very poor targeting. They ran Ford truck ads on our movie site that upset our readers. On top of that they are short on inventory and even if you have the traffic they cannot pay for it. We found them to be pretty sneaky. When we threatened to leave about the above problems, they scrambled to give us a better rev share, but they shorted us on inventory. We got paid less than before on more traffic. Finally when we demanded they let us out of agreement for the reasons above, they refused and will not send our final payments.

    Do yourself a favor. Sign up with Chitika or Vibrant Media. You’ll get a good rate, targeted ads your readers appreciate and as much inventory as you can sell.
