I also removed Kontera from my blog, and basically due to the same reasons than you. I think the worst was the low conversion rate! Mr Javo´s last blog post...Spreading Love - October 08 Week 02

Plus, I heard kontera doesn’t add-up your earning to the next month, if you’re earning is below $5

Thanks for the post. I am gonna try kontera on a content travel related site above rather than a blog. Not too sure if there is a difference as a blog is like a forum in a way and season visitors are “immuned” to the ads and will not click them. Let’s see how it goes .. cheers.

I used Vibrant Media Intellitxt back in 2007, but removed it because of the paltry earnings.

Since I had seen Kontera on a few other sites, I added them to the lesser trafficked pages of my sites just to test them out.

So far, I’m not very happy with Kontera. The ads aren’t that intrusive, but it definitely slows down loading time for probably 2 cents per click.

I hope this trend improves!

I agree on removing that service, I feel like it clutters your website too much to be a viable option. It’s more people getting frustrated than actually profiting off of the ad service. I don’t know how John Chow is doing it, but maybe there is something to what Matt said.

Every (recent) month John Chow has recorded a flat payout of $1000 from Kontera. That’s way too rounded and the same each month to be actuals. Are they just paying him to promote it? Anyone else get exactly the same, rounded dollar amount each month? Me neither.

After Kontera changed their login page (about 2 weeks ago I think) and probably did some backend work, I’ve found my earnings have taken a nosedive and I’m considering removing them altogether. Compared to Adsense where many clicks in my niche can earn nice money, earning 2 cents a click is just not worth it. So it may be bye-bye time for Kontera.

Wow, a public services manager from Kontera commented on this post? He can’t even spell services. As for removing Kontera, I think it’s a smart move. I’ve read pretty much all the guides about getting Kontera to work, and it’s something that can’t be forced. Seasoned readers of blog will NEVER, and I repeat NEVER click on those ads. As for the look; well I don’t mind a couple of them on a page. Just not an excessive amount.

Keep up the good work,
