Joel, i did not specify your name while registering but gave url of this thread as a refferer. Can this be a problem? Two days passed and i still did not get any reply. I hope they will accept me..
I think as long as you applied through that link then its fine. If they don't accept you, it will be for some other reason. They will of course give an explanation if they decide not to accept you.
This is good news then, because Kontera is also a major revenue earning field for advertisers and if they could really go togeteher, then that would serve better the purpose of ads in any site. Thanks for the information here.
Here is my experience over 12 days: 5% CTR Average $0.08 per click on a home-maintenance site. Bringing in about 10% of what my Adsense is. Unfortunately, the ECPM has actually gone down from about $5 to about $4 since I began using Kontera, which I did not expect due to their "tuning" process. Has anyone here changed the AdLinkColor and found one that works best? Thank you for the tip, Joel Comm!
I'll give it a test... not really afraid of having a dip in my .35/day earnings on this lol. Last day results; Normal/default ads (In Blue)= 5.13% CTR
My stats for last two days. 02/19/2007 -- 36,003 -- 1,270 -- 3.53% -- $110.09 -- $3.06 02/20/2007 -- 40,084 -- 1,462 -- 3.65% -- $119.40 -- $2.98
That looks they pay around $0.08/click, is there anything with High Paying Keyword in Kontera and probably I think not to use kontera on High Paying Adsense Keyword pages..
Just got approved here and plug in the code... will see the result within the next couple days I guess...
If I am not wrong, ads of Kontera are essentially from Google. For each click Kontera keeps a half and you get a half. That is why 0.08 verus 0.15.
I applied and got approved although I don't have the amount of traffic they required. Thanks to Joel for referring me to Kontera. Haven't applied the tag yet but I will. Cheers, DanNy
Does anyone have some good optimization advice for Kontera ads? Is it even possible to optimize them?
Im currently doing a color test vs CTR..so give it a week or two to see which colors perform best of the 7-14 that I try out. again, as posted: default/blue = 5+% ctr
I have written them today for their permission to put their ads on my other 10 more sites. Lets see if they approve. I am not able to access their website right now. Some problem at my end or their end.
Good to see the adsense issue cleared up. I've been thinking of trying them out for quite a while. I should qualify with a 1 million+ page views a month. I'll report back my results. Thanks for all the info everybody.
