Kontera Responded to My Post
The post that I published yesterday 'My 3 Day Experience with Kontera ContentLink' has been noticed by Kontera. I don't know how they find my post so fast. May be they accidentally found 
my blog when using Google or their system have automatically tracked my blog when I remove the Kontera ad code or some other reasons......
One of the staff of Kontera named Vered posted a long comment on the yesterday post. The comment gave detailed explanation about how Kontera operates and why I don't see my main keywords turned into Kontera content links.
Apparently, Kontera ContentLink ads are geo-targeted. This means visitors in different locations will see different Kontera keyword links and ads when browsing my blog. The earning for each Kontera ad click is also based on geo-targeting. Since the majority of the advertisers of Kontera are targeting the US market, the earning for the ad clicks that generated from US traffic will be significantly higher than traffic from other countries.
This probably is the reason why I'm getting 40 Kontera ad clicks but the earning is less than $1. May be most of the ad clicks aren't from US, that why I earn so little.
Kontera also told me that a 3 day testing period isn't enough to find out the earning potential of any ad network. They suggest me to give a longer trial.....
I now have more than 50% out of my total traffic from US. If the US traffic convert, I might get better Kontera ad revenue. So, I'm going to take their suggestion to have a longer trial on Kontera. You will see the Kontera ContenLink ads display again in MoneyMakerInfo.Blogspot.com soon.
If you have been thinking to try Kontera as well, do check out the comment of Kontera's staff posted on my yesterday post 'My 3 Day Experience with Kontera ContentLink'. You will understand more about making money online with Kontera reading that comment.
Pay per click advertising has been an effective way for this blog to generate income. Before Google disallowed me to display AdSense pay per click on this blog, I was able to make USD2,000 to USD2,800 per month depending on the traffic level.
Google stopped me from using AdSense, so I sought for some alternatives. Kontera is one of them.
Applying for a Kontera account has been easy and convenient. There is no review process I need to go through. I just have to fill out and submit the application form; and they will automatically send me a welcome email with an activation link that I can click to start accessing Kontera and use their Content link ads immediately.
I successfully generated the Kontera ad code and placed it on my blog. The Kontera Content links showed up on my blog with 24 hours. I saw the keywords such as pay per click, money making opportunity and some other unrelated keywords got converted into Kontera Content links. Non of my main keywords converted into Kontera links. Seem like Kontera is lacking ad inventory for my niche 'make money online'.
So far, I'm getting 40 ad clicks and guess how much I earn from this 40 clicks. Well, no even $1. The pay is so low. There is no way Kontera can compare with AdSense where I used to earn $0.35 per AdSense ad click in average.
I decided to remove Kontera. It is not for my niche. They actually don't have any ad that is relevant to my topic and niche. The keyword 'money making opportunity' which has been converted into Kontera link, when I point my mouse on it, a small box will pops up giving the ad description. The ad is actually promoting a dictionary, it is not money making opportunity of any sort.
It is no point to send visitors to the offers that they have no interested at all. So, I will stop using Kontera.
I think Kontera is more for topics like shopping, technology, electronic products...etc. Blogs with these content topics might earn much better ad revenue with Kontera.
