Supplement Your Adsense Revenue!
I started using Kontera’s pay-per-click (PPC) contextual advertising program in December. Last month I made $92.11 from it. The revenue is directly proportional to the traffic and also is also somewhat correlated to the type of content.
Finance-related content usually results in above average per-click amounts. However, content about Paris Hilton might pay 1/10th of the amount, but you typically get 10 times more traffic, so don’t fret if you niche is low paying. Just focus on creating good content. My experience has been that the per-click amount is lower than Adsense but its a good complimentary service that runs along-side Adsense, and it doesn’t violate Google’s TOS (terms of service).
Google used to prohibit publishers from using other contextual advertising programs in conjunction with Adsense, but they’ve recently eased this to allow programs that do not have the same look and feel.
My Kontera revenue is currently only 1/4th that of the Adsense revenue. However, since my Adsense revenues have been growing, Kontera doesn’t seem to be cannibalizing its revenue, so its all gravy!
Its very easy to implement and I’ve received excellent customer as well as technical support from them.
Even if you’ve never you considered monetizing your site, you should definitely try it out. For less than an hour’s work, an extra $1000 a year is definitely worth it!

I stop visiting sites that have Kontera. I might be the only one, but I wouldn’t risk it.

I just added them to my blog. I will see how they go. I do not get much from adsense, but I think it might have to do with my placement. I am trying to rearrange and optimize my ads. So many sites have Kontera now that it is hard to stop going to those sites. I initially didn’t like them, but they are a part of the net now.

So did I LazyMan _ I ran them on my site for a few weeks until people started complaining and unsubscribing because of them. As soon as I see them now, I leave a site as I cannot read the articles without little popups showing up.

I recently started a blog and looked at Kontera, but the general gist I got from looking around at different options is that most people find Kontera to be a bit annoying. Trying to jumpstart traffic to my blog I definitely don’t want to do anything to offend those few who trickle in at first. However, I may reevaluate that policy if and when I ever achieve a steady stream of unique visitors.

Hi,
My name is Vered and I’m from Kontera.
ND, great hearing that you’re pleased with our ContentLink and our services :).
Lazyman and David, I regret hearing that you find In-Text so annoying. Users take some time to get accustomed to new advertising methods introduced to a site, and In-Text is a relatively new system.
That being said the constant growth of Kontera’s network and our ContentLinks popularity with both publishers and advertisers, shows us that users are getting used to our system and find it to be beneficial and effective.

I started using Kontera last month. My click through on kontera is pretty sluggish relative to adsense. I was wondering whether people would complain because I use konterra in-text link words as well as links to other parts of my site on my blog posts and it might be tough to distinguish between the two ( which one to trust). But I am happy to mention that people visiting my blog are smarter than average
