Make Money Online With Kontera

For those of you who use Adsense on your blog or website and are looking for a good way to supplement your advertising revenue while still adhering to Adsense's terms of service. Perhaps Kontera may be what you are looking for.

Kontera’s ContentLink is a double underlined contextually relevant keyword on a web page that upon mouse-over opens a small bubble like box that displays and links to an ad from one of Kontera’s advertisers.

When a visitor clicks the Kontera in text advertisement, they will be taken directly to the advertiser’s web site and the publisher will earn money. With ContentLink, advertisers reach their targeted audience on a Cost Per Click (CPC) basis like most other advert type programs.

Why should I use Kontera?

Kontera’s ContentLink can be an extra source of additional revenue along with Adsense and other advertising programs you use, without taking any extra space on your web page.

Can I use Kontera’s Contentlink and AdSense together?

Yes. AdSense now allows other contextual ads on the same page as long as they do not look the same as AdSense ads, so you don’t have to worry about violating AdSense TOS. Afterall these are not contextual ads, but link ads.

How can I earn more with Kontera?

Kontera works best with web sites that have a lot of textual content and traffic. The more pages your visitors view, the higher chance of them to view and click an ad. (Of course that can be said for most any programs)

Just like in AdSense, to earn more from Kontera you will need to increase your site traffic.

What to do after getting accepted by Kontera?

The first thing that should be done after getting accepted by Kontera, is to insert their code on all pages of your site right before the closing HTML tag, so that their servers can scan your content and ultimately serve the best matching ads to your web pages. If you are using a WordPress blog, they have a module you can download and plugin as well for those using Blogger they have a solution for you as well that is as easy as adding javascript.

During the first two weeks Kontera will conduct an optimization process on your site. So you may not earn so well during this period as the ads will not be as relevant.

How do I increase my Kontera CTR?

To increase your Click Through Rate, you may want to change your Kontera’s link color to match your site’s link color. Blending the links in with those other naturally occuring links on your pages.

You can change the link color in your Kontera’s ad codes. The line which controls link color is

var dc_AdLinkColor="#2277dd";

Change the above hex code to match your site’s link color.

How do I limit Kontera ContentLink ads to the main content?

Kontera’s ad code when first placed on your site, will often result with you finding ads placed all over your web page sometimes even on your blog’s sidebar and headers. To control the placement of ContentLink ads on your web page you will need to use DIV tags.

When you apply them on your pages, ContentLink ads will appear only on the text that is between these tags.

Use the DIV tags in the following way

[div class=KonaBody;]Text you want the  ContentLink ads to
appear on[/div] using the proper brackets <> instead of []

You can use the DIV tags as many times as you would like on a single page.

How to restrict ContentLink ads on certain areas of a page?

If you would like to restrict ContentLink ads on certain areas, use the following Span filter tags

[span name=KonaFilter]Text you don't want ContentLink ads to appear on[/span]
again replace [] brackets with <>


Conclusion

Kontera seems to slow down the load time of pages. As well the results of your campaign do not show up in real time like those for adsense. So you have to wait a full day to find how effective you were today with you adverts. As well the adverts are not relevant on the first few days but if you stick with them they will get more relevant and be very good for you at making extra money and revenue.
