Does Kontera Lose Visitors By Pissing Them Off?

    I was thinking of adding Kontera to my site (http://www.juicedsportsblog.com), so I have two questions for any one who uses it or knows a lot about it.

    1.) How good is at getting click thrus? Better than Adsense? And how much does it pay per click compared to Adsense? Note: If I do add it, I am still keeping Adsense, I just want to know for value purposes.

    2.) And this is the big one. Does Kontera piss off visitors? I think that it would considering the ads are disguised as links and bring up an annoying pop-up type thing when you scroll over it. That said, it really doesn't matter if the visitors are pissed as long as they keep coming back, so have you actually lost many visitors because of Kontera?

    1) CTR is usually quite high, as they are in the content of the site itself. Pay per click is extremely low though; I averaged a couple cents per click.

    2) I didn't lose many visitors from Kontera, if at all. It probably depends on your target audience and your site.

    Yep, like Computerized said:
    CTR is good, although i do a lot better than only a few cents per click - probably different niche's. My Kontera earnings are almost as good as Adsense, and sometimes even more than Adsense.
    Some people dont like the in-text ads, some dont mind.. i dont think i've lost any visitors over them.
