3 Simple Reasons Why I Removed Kontera In-Text Ads


I just want to let you guys and gals know that I have removed the Kontera ad system from this site! My decision to finally remove the Kontera ads should make everyone happy. I know I am. Who likes seeing those double-underlined words with pop-up ads showing up anyway?

Kontera In-text ad from John Chow

My decision was based on three simple reasons:

  • Low Conversions (not much money made)
  • Makes my site look “cleaner”
  • Plain, simple annoying

Many webmasters and bloggers I know agree to these simple reasons. A lot of people know that it converts low because many people just don’t click on them. Unless the person viewing your blog has no clue what the double-underlined words really are for, you pretty much can’t expect them to “fall for it”. I”m not trying to say that you should stay away from Kontera, but it’s just something that I know most people agree on. Then again, there are others like John Chow who have made a lot from their service and is one of their best blog monetizer. All I know is that removing Kontera from Slyvisions was the right thing.
