    It appears they have branched out to Europe, Australiasia recently. According to their site, they only operate for publishers in the US, Canada and the UK. Does anyone know of a site that use Kontera? I would really like to see the type of ad they operate.

    Thanks for the news. I sent you a green..

    By the way, i am really impressed with their support: While sending the application form, my internet connection has gone in 2. step! And i had to wait ~3 hours before continuing the application. When my internet returned, i checked my email and see one automated and one manual email asking me if i need any help to finish the application! I really liked this response. I hope they will accept my application.

    Read their terms and they say you cannot use any other "in-text" advertising anywhere on your website. What is this "in-text" advertising? Is this the same as contextual ads, i.e. Adsense or YPN?

    I've been using kontera ever since I read the news in Joel's newsletter. They (Kontera) are very professional and the earnings I make there are not bad either.

    Has anyone actually emailed google support and asked "can I run Kontera adverts on my pages alongside adsense"?
    If so was the answer yes or no?
    Is it more of a if you don't tell,we don't mind thing?
    Wouldn't life be easier if google just did a list of advertisers that you can runalongside them :)

    I take it you mean it does not adversely impact your adsense revenue, whuich is good to hear. Also, $60 over 2 days is excellent. How many impressions is that on?

    No it's not the same as AdSense or YPN.

    "In-Text" means that it scans your content and puts relevant ads within your content that looks like links. For example check out this page about A/B testing. You'll see links within the text with double underlining. They are in-text ads.

    They seem to take a little while after the page has loaded to appear though... I wish it were a little quicker. :eek:

    So after a full 3 (reported) days running Kontera (their stat is about 2 days late as far as I can figure), I'm averaging .06-cents a click, which is about 2-cents more than what Adsense is paying me for the same site. The CTR is relatively low (averaging .5%), but it's always been low on this site. Overall, with 3 full days to go on, I'm looking at a 17% additional income. And as Joel said, I don't see any dip in my Adsense earnings after implementation. In fact, I see a slight increase, but I'm sure that's just coincidence. Suffice to say, I don't believe Kontera (or Vibrant Media, for that matter) will negatively impact your Adsense earnings if you choose to implement it. You'll just be adding an additional source or revenue to an existing stream.

    Keep in mind that this is just with a full 3 days of runng Kontera on this particular site...

    Wow! Thats fantastic. It looks like all the people that have tried it as a result of Joel's post are already doing rather well from it.

    Just to add to jack's post Kontera say that it takes upto 10 days for them to optimize their ads on your site and that "during this period results may vary and will not necessarily reflect the full monetary potential the product can bring to you". :eek:

    Anyway I added kontera to my 2 sites 24 hours ago, still waiting for the reports page to update so I can view my stats so far. :)

    Can anyone tell me how much delay there is for the reports (roughly)?
