    Hi all,

    I know there have been other posts on this, but I wanted to get the latest and greatest info about using Kontera on a niche blog that also uses Adsense. Coupla questions..

    1. Does using both violate either's TOS?

    2. What has been your experience with this? Did you see Adsense clicks decrease after adding Kontera? Was it a worthwhile addition?

    Thanks!:)

    kontera and adsense can be used on the same page. however there will be a decrease in clicks as @lifeplayer said. and i also experience in in some of my blogs and website.. buts to sum it all, kontera is a good backup for adsense.

    1. Adsense and Kontera can be use together. No problem
    2. Off course, clicks has been shared among these two ads. By removing kontera will increase your Adsense clicks. I use Kontera together with Adsense. Frankly speaking, Kontera pays penny. It is better just to focus on Adsense.

    Konters and adsense can be on the same page, Yes! :D
    so, what will be the result if someone do such a thing?
    1) Kontera will start slowing down the page loading.
    2) Kontera will start taking a share of adsense clicks, Kontera will pay you 1 cent to 3 cent per click, so you can understand how much you lose if those clicks comes at a cost of adsense clicks :eek:

    [Suggestion: try something else along with adsense, if you have choice. Kontera will be certainly my last choice...]

    @ Uttoransen...What would you recommend? Are you referring to affiliate marketing programs or other CPC programs?

    I have never used Kontera although I understand that it is quite popular and used by many websites and companies. I have been using Adsense for some time now on my blog. Like many other websites, my adsense earnings are hardly phenomenal however it has increased a little of late.

    I would use infolinks instead of kontera as I found they pay more.

    Here's my preference:
    1) Go adsense only :)
    2) Info links has been good, try that, many are satisfied so far. [Infolink + adsense]
    3) If the site you are having, is a niche, then give bidvertiser/adbrite a 15 day run.

    Personally i would stick with either one or the other. The reason being is that you will more quickly meet your payment threshold rather than splitting your efforts between different ad campaigns. I personally can't see a reason to use both, but it's personal choice and if it works for you then go for it.
