    i had seen kontera's faq's by searching in the google, found there website, but its really not catchy one, its simply text links, which i believe adsense also provides it, so its better 2 stick with adsense, but i am feared, heard few rumour about adsense, that they are banning adsense account which is getting high payouts monthly.

    Mine have actually got slightly higher, with the total for the first 4 days of August close to the first 4 days of my best month (March 2007).

    I also noticed such fluctuations, but they may also be attributed to advertiser budgets reported to the period of the month.

    Kontera is good, giving me $4-$4.5 a day, when google giving 3 times more. But when you combine them, it makes it 30% extra income.

    But Kontera has been reported to run slow on slower PCs...where Java loads slow on slow PCs....Faster PCs face not much problem....or say faster net... God knows.....

    No it's not guaranteed. People have to click on the ads. Truthfully, I removed it from almost all pages because 1) the company sucks and 2) people complained about the ads.

    Ditto. Kontera gives me an extra 30% revenue, so why not use it. Rep given :)

    However the problem with slowdows is VERY real, and it's not only the computer that it depends on. I've got a pretty powerful one and it still takes at least 5 seconds, sometimes more to load kontera ads. I think it also heavily depends on the size of the amount of text it has to analyze (my frontpage is around 200kb, so it's obvious it'll take a while to sift through that) and the time of day (daytime the load seems to be higher on their servers).

    Oh ya!
    Today one of my active forum member reported that she nearly had to restart her pc 10 times and teenhut was working terrible. Then I pmed and contacted few members if they are facing a problem, some were unaware like why site runs slow. I removed ads and asked to check and they said, now its little better.

    So I assume that Kontera in Active forums where actually members just keep browsing and posting, so many page views, it would not be suitable to trouble visitors, I dont want to make them runaway for $4 a day....:rolleyes:

    I would rather put them up on my magazine blog (newly started).

    Why I think Blogs might perform well with kontera because, more content, and best of all, blog readers dont just keep browsing everytime, they will come check new posts, 1-3...comment and leave........so its better there :)

    Now my adsense earnings are back in action once I removed some low paying ads, not actually. I just removed all the ads I thought would not fit for teen visitors.

    I saw some ads doing.... "Teen" word in the description and showing in my site, when they are no where related to teens.. :mad:
