    Hi Guys,

    :confused:

    I read in the forums that you can not use adsense and kontea (content link) in text advertising. I want to use the intext only from kontera with my Yahoo ads, but I could not find a place if this is allowed?

    Are others using YPN and Kontea together? Any tips would be great!

    I asked yahoo once abt it. check their reply.
    "I apologize fir the confusion. You may publish 'Kontera' ads, however you must ensure that the 'Kontera' ads will not appear at the same time as the 'Ads by Yahoo!' ads. You may need to build a script an place it on your website to only show either 'Kontera' ads or 'Ads by Yahoo!' ads.

    Sincerely,"


    Hope this gives you idea to work with.

    Thanks for the feedback. What does not make sense to me is kontera is in line text, and the ad does not appear until you mouse over, and the yahoo ad is a constant ad that appears to an ad.

    What am i missing here when to me it seems completly different. Just trying to understand cause to me they seem different types of ad. I know this is the same issue with google adsense and kontera/vibrant media. But any clarificaiton would be great! :confused:

    Hi,

    I just talked with someone from Kontera who assured me you can use Kontera ads with regular Yahoo ads as they are partners.

    Best regards.

    It is my understanding that Google does not want any other "contextual" advertising on the same page. Adsense and Kontera are the same in the sense that both scan a page for keywords then display ads relative to those keywords. Even though the ad presentation methods differ, the underlying ad selection technology is the essentially the same.

    The assumption that you cannot use Kontera with AdSense is dead wrong. It's a misunderstanding of Google's clause prohibiting similar looking advertising. I have run both of them together now since March, and have done so, with Google's full acknowledgement. I posted the following review at my site concerning the Kontera program back in May...

    Kontera Advertising - A Review

    I see no reason why this form of advertising couldn't be used with Yahoo as well. Most of the ads you get from Kontera will be fed from within Yahoo's partner program... albeit, with an additional cut going to Kontera. However, I've never passed this by a Yahoo representative, as I have for Google. So I'd check directly with them first.

    For the record, straight from the mouth of the AdSense Team, Kontera ads are allowed to appear on the same page as Google ads. I'm sure the same applies to YPN.

    Assumption is the mother of all ******. Don't assume, confirm, ask YPN team directly or face getting your account potentially banned.
