    Hi,

    I have decided to get back Kotera again! I drop kontera few months back and joined Infolinks. Beginning was pretty impressive with infolinks, but now its start to suck like kontera [sometimes i think kontera pays well]. So today I am going to remove infolinks and will implement kontera.

    Good think is kontera pay on net-30 where for infolinks not clear when they are going to pay, i have already reach $100 but infolinks sopport told me that they will pay with in 45 days, now it almost 30 days! But kontera promptly pay you on net-30 systems.

    Conclusion:

    Somehow both going to suck! but we can get paid by kontera in net-30 basis thats the for most advantage! Kontera's support is nice, in infolinks I am getting some blablabla same mails from my account manager. finally I have read a blog , that tels Kontera revised its pricing structure to combat against its rivals like infolinks.

    Lets see!

    Well Infolinks is paying me on every 30th, never delayed for me. Regarding their payout it really sucks from the last few months. Please do let us know about your experience with kontera again, may be I also switch from infolinks to kontera again.

    Infolinks turned to be another Kontera , why i am comparing them ?? its the poor earning they offer to publishers !! and i really feel that both are ripping me off.

    infolinks started with high earning payout to takeover kontera publishers, the trick did worked for a short time, but now when infolinks truned to be even worse than kontera, you can see all publishers leaving infolinks and going back to kontera or not using any of them.

    Kontera SUCKS and InfoLinks SUCKS even more. clean site with no bothering ads (kontera or infolinks) is my best option now.

    the wierd thing is : Kontera and Infolinks are both Israeli Companies.
    and how knows .. maybe owned by the same person.

    Ya..excellent! I guess before they were not from US because of the time I received mails from them. Like you said both can be won by a same person! Its possible because lot of ad networks working under various names. Eg, Media shakers, right media and Global Interactive are won by a same person but in different names [These CPM networks will suck greatly].

    israeli companies .... this is very interesting point here, but this is doesn't mean they are the same company! Bidvertiser is also israeli company.

    the important thing we agree about is the low payout which is very ridiculous.

    Infolinks took the same poor payout strategy of kontera, no other alternative, use them or not. but i chosed NOT to both.

    i removed kontera long time ago from my sites because of the poor earning and because they are scaming publishers with payment and stupid terms.

    and i removed infolinks recently from my sites because i am not happy about their 0.01$ per click earning. again 100 clicks for 1$ or less is ridiculous.

    All I can tell you is that Kontera totally sucks, they pay so low that its worth having their ads on your site.

    I got paid by infilinks on 31-May.

    If infolinks keep on paying $0.01$ for click and keeping minimum payouts $100, it will take more than 2 month for us to reach it. No point of having the Ads which is paying $0.01 for a click. Here I want to make a valid point that bidvertiser & infolinks having deep links. When I lick infolinks ads in some blog [not my won..lol] its pointing to bidvertiser at first then goes to the actual URL.

    In case of payment, infolinks can't say we can pay within 45 days, is it possible, infolinks can pay very next day after I reach $100? because next day also comes under 'within 45 days'. Have clear payment terms like net 45 or net 30.
