    I would not prefer Kontera. They are only for the top players. One policy of theirs says that if you earn less than $5 per month that amount will not be accumulated in your total earnings and only if you cross $5 every month you that payment will be added to your earnings. I earned around $50 or around in total but they have mentioned my total earning as around $6 as only once i have crossed $5 in one month and the rest of the earnings are gone from my account, even though i have placed their link all these months. Now i have removed Kontera. I would recommend for all those who have less traffic to avoid kontera. I guess it is only for those high end players or bloggers.

    Has any one got paid by info links yet? i would not trust it without someone actually getting paid, and as far as kontera is concerned, i think its just the right thing to keep along side adsense. i get CTR of 5%+ and ecpm of 2 to 8 % which is pretty cool,
    cheers!

    Infolink is paying very good, 20x and more of what kontera pays !
    infolink is very recommended, and i hope they will keep paying high.

    payment by PayPal or bank wire transfer.
    payment within 30 days of the end of the payment period.
    Infolink is very good combination with adsense or any other networks.

    here is Infolink website address:

    http://www.infolinks.com/

    Kontera is waste of traffic and waste of visitors, paying lower than 0.01$ per click and less, kontera is the first company pays you 0.005$ per click !! lol, some clicks are less than one cent !!!! clicks from outside the US, CAN, UK is not accepted. Terms are tricky and if you make less than 5$ a month they take your money. and etc.

    i have worked with kontera for years, they are a good company, good support and good people, but PAY very very low. and they think that they are the only one in the market, so we (publishers) have no choice only to use them !!!! they living in a BOX !

    kontera is an israeli company that keeps 99% of the revenue from advertisers, and pay you *sometimes* the rest of the 1%.

    good for you, i removed kontera long time ago, kontera is paying the most very low ever. kontera earning is very low, kontera revenue is very bad.

    too bad for a good network, so yes Kontera has really gone down the toilet. i agree about that.

    yep, the ecpm is just huge, i even got a $1.4 click on my first day, looks like info links is going to be a great adsense alternative :D
    I was just too happy with the kontera, good that i tried the alternative!

    i got 1.7$ click with infolinks :) , and yes .. good and great to have with adsense.
    to reach 1.7$ with kontera you need 170 clicks (0.01 x 170 = 1.7$ <-- this is kontera)

    The Company is new and needs to build trust, company is new and needs more adverts, ads are not very contextual and often get the typical click here for info on etc. Only pay via paypal no checks at the moment.

    well ... the whois information:

    the owner is :

    Oren Dobronsky
    IP Address is located in Israel , 194.90.11.196
    and hosted with Yahoo Hosting :)

    The company looks legitimate and somewhat professional. However, they are going around the internet asking webmasters that use Kontera or any of their competitors to try Infolinks.com.

    They send also trough bankwire but they charge it 25$ .. that is little to high for bankwire. They basically give no option for people who can't use PayPal, at least checks or Moonebookers....

    I have some odd felling that these high CPC will not last long.

    Anyway, just got 40$ a day from InfoLinks on my second day with them. Nice
