Hey all Im using adsense on my webpage and Im not really satified with what I'm getting, and I kindof believe that my users will be interested into clicking specific words, because they will be interested into the meaning, and/or context of that word. I will post here my results and what is going on, if you will be interested... I've just applied, and am waiting for the ok email from them.
From my experience, I have seen that kontera and adsense gives almost similar kind of CTR, even though one would expect the in content links to have a better CTR. May be it will be differnt for another niche, another kind of traffic etc. But for me, it turned out to be almost same clicks and just 25% of adsense revenue. Still I would rate kontera to be one of the better ad-on to adsense or even replacement if you are banned from adsense. Most tier II PPC networks pay very less.
Kontera pays the lowest EPC from my experiment @ Adsense Adbrite Kontera EPC Compared and also expect a low CTR because of their very low advertisers.
Nice post you have there Amit . Preseren, you may try it out, cos maybe you might get better epc for it. If you didn't try, you wouldn't know. And all the best luck on your experiment.
Interesting. I'm definitely getting more and more into the 'psycho-blending' method, because I've really found that different looks of ads work better for different themed sites (and therefore audiences). Makes sense, really! I love the look of kontera - haven't had massive amounts of luck with them, but several of my other inline text programs seem to work very well. But as I say, it all depends on getting the right psycho-blend!
Very interesting, thanks. Though 3 cents for click is better than my results, I see only about 1.3 cent per click from Kontera.
I had some good results with Kontera, but I removed the code from some of my web pages to help reduce bounce rate from site
Amitpatel, I'd have to see more details about the experiment. It would be hard to respond beforehand. Were the two campaigns conducted on the the same sites? For how long? During which period in the year? Many factors influence CPC and among them are the days of the week and the timing within the year. These changes have to do with advertisers' demands. I'd like to learn more, from you or anyone who has conducted a similar experiment. Anything we can use to help us improve is most welcome. You can also contact me by pm. Thanks
Kontera Ads are really great you have great content full of high paying keywords then only this would be beneficial from the view of revenue. Dear, just tell me also after you get approved for this...
I'm still waiting to get approved, and them I'll add it to the page. I have allready installed the module for joomla, so everything is ready... Great to see that you are interested in this experiment. I'll get to you back when I install it on the site, to tell you how it goes, how fast do I get the ads etc
Is it okay to use kontera and adsense on the same page? This may take away clicks from one or the next, but I have been thinking of using both...
Well since I+m still waiting to get aprooved, I've read a couple of threats on Kontera on this forum. Some people say, they got less clicks on their Adsense, some say that there was no change. So, as always, test it out, and you will see. BTW, I'm getting annoyed by the waiting to get approved by Kontera
I'm still waiting to get approved, I've send them a ticket and nothing from them. Did you others also have to wait for soo long (its a week now)? This does not give me much comfort thinking, what will happen later, if I need any support
