Kontera - Blog monetisation via contextual links

Ok just a little heads up on this.

I think Kontera is great, but like most programs you need the right audience and the right levels and types of traffic.

For now at least, no more Kontera on this blog.

Its from your mybloglog account Matt http://pub.mybloglog.com/coiserv.php?href=http://www.articlesnatch.com/blog&n=Matt Ellsworth

Although, Ive no idea why it isnt being resized.

Thanks for sharing the info regarding recipes. 5 cents isn’t too bad at all in that sphere.

I hear you on the article front too. I use a div tag to stop comments being konteraized, the last thing I want is my commenters to think that I’m monetising their efforts so blatantly

I have no idea why I have such a huge avatar… lol… but i figured thats the way it showed up… heck I don’t even remember where it gets the avatar from…

on the site i run it on – we seem to get about 5 cents per click – but that site is a site with 20,000 receipes on it – so I don’t think its really all that high paying keywords.

I took it off the article directory because many people thought that it meant that their articles were endorsing those things.

Hiya Matt – I’m kinda 50/50 on it at the moment – sometimes I find myself wincing a little when I see an important word thats hyperlinked to something thats not really that germane to the topic…thuse far a low ctr too, but hey its a tech blog, I have tech savvy readers its inevitable I guess – will certainly be adding it to other blogs too.

If you have the traffic in the right kind of niche then I think it could be a good thing

ps. why is your avatar so huge? I think I might need to go edit this plugin

I use this on a few of my sites. I like it for some things. It seems to work well on this blog – especially with your extra RSS feeds at the bottom.

I have only seen those two lined links and have just about heard about Kontera, why not give it a try, it might even work.

Take care and Cheers

I’ve seen quite a few blogs try this and abandon it. Personally I don’t like it … but it doesn’t hurt to try it. Maybe it’ll click.
