    I was affiliated with Kontera for year and a half now and I had excellent results. Since January 1st I started dividing my site into "Kontera" and "Adsense" sections and made some tests. Kontera was earning some 30% more money than Adsense, and now, when I run both on my site, Kontera is still performing better (some 20%) and earnings from Adsense haven't dropped a bit.

    I am making these conclusion on small figures (some 880 uniques/day) but I think that my conclusions are not far from everybody's here. I just wanted to remind that I am running software downloads site (first in my sig) and earnings with Adsense on this niche are a bit lower...

    There's also: "Kontera is currently working in the following countries: USA, Canada and UK. Within the next few months we are planning to launch ContentLinkâ„¢ in France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands."

    ... and we know that this isn't the case...

    hah, well they still need to work on the relevance issue for Kontera. Not (the attached screenshot) what the ad is for the word "Driving Experience" lol.

    The catagory I've selected for this site is Automotive... so how that popped up there, I dunno :p

    It's been 3 days. I received a letter from Kontera yesterday welcoming me into the program. But at the same time they said my site still needed to be approved which sounds contradictory. They did say they received an overwhelming response due to Joel Comm's post on this forum. I expect a yay or nay by Monday.

    My kontera monetized site is in a health niche, and the ads are pretty much relevant except for some insurance ad. They said, it will take atleast 10 days for things to fall into a stable pattern.

    Do Kontera ads only work in IE?

    I am not seeing any ads in Firefox yet see the ads in IE.

    Well, they clearly stated that it will took around 2 week to exactly monitor your site contents, I too get some irrelevant ads, but I think to wait for few days..
