    I've been using both Adsense and Kontera.

    Adsense is obviously the better performer but I still use Kontera to supplement my revenue.

    I have found Konterat to get an eCPM around 25% that of Adsense (making adsense 4x better than kontera).

    Also kontera tends to fluctuate around all over the place.

    What have your results been?

    I use both of them. I really love Kontera for one reason. When I added them, they did not reduce my adsense earning and game me around 25% extra earning from the site without taking any space on it.

    I have kontera on few of my sites, it used to give me around 1/3rd of what adsense is giving
    But i m little confused about their payment structure, the checks are very erratic and i had times when i received two checks on the same day, has it happened to anyone else, also not received any checks for last two months and the money is piling up in the account
    Atleast adsense i have found to be prompt in sending the payment

    When I put Kontera on my forums, the laptop users complain about it that it makes the site run slower as it takes a few seconds extra to load. And mine is a teen forum where members keep posting and spamming up chit chat area, so they face problems. Otherwise it gave me atleast 1/3rd income of what google gave. I am really losing $120 a month lol.

    I use both of them. Kontera produces more on my forums, but Adsense is good too. They're both good money makers.

    Kontera has earned me nearly twice as much as adsense now, I think it's better by a fair shot :)

    Kontera is good but currently only ab out 5% of my adsense earnings. I seriously wish someone at kontera tweaks ads and make them more contextual.

    Some ads are seriously way off. However kontera is very prompt with payment and very reliable co to work with. Thumbs up for that. Now i only wish they serve me targetted ads.
