    Hello,
    Just want to say that kontera is scammers. I didn't received my payment 4 months, sent them 3 email and get no answers.
    I saw on few forums same problem.
    Finally conclusion is that they sux. They pay 2c per click, and that is really low.
    Now I am using Chitika, that pay me average 15c per click.
    Cu.

    You are not the first one. I've heard at least from 2 fellow webmasters that Kontera fooled them. Cannot understand why did you wait and worked for them so long if you saw their low performance.

    I removed kontera from my site long ago, ;), but didn't get payment 4 months.
    I earning about 50-60 $ per day (Adsense, Tribal, Chitika), so the money which kontera owe me (100$) is not to much, but point of all this is I hate scammers, especially like they.

    My experience with Kontera is bad. The average PPC was about 0,05$.

    With Chitika I have an average of 0,19$! It alone generates a good additional daily 2 figure income.

    How can Kontera possibly be making anyone money, when they only have one or two advertisers that link to words on your site that have nothing to do with the advertiser's site? It's weird and Kontera support refuse to explain why.

    For example, the word "Jesus" on my site was linked to a Kontera advertiser called dealtimes.com and so were many other words. Are we to believe that you can buy everything in the universe at dealtimes.com? lol
