Make Money Online with Kontera’s In-Text Advertising
April 2nd, 2007
I’ve been using ContentLink from Kontera on this site for a few weeks now and so far I am pleased with the results, but there is always room for improvements. John Chow has posted some useful tips on how to make money online with Kontera.
Keep ContentLink To The Content Body
When I first set up Kontera on The TechZone, a flash banner from Ultra blocked the ContentLink advertisement. This is a common problem with flash ads. If you have any banner that blocks off the Kontera ContentLink, then get that fix. If people cannot read the full ad, they will not click on it.
My favorite tip is targeting your advertisements. It requires a minimal amount of coding knowledge. Simply paste the following code at the beginning of your content where you want the advertisements:
<div class=KonaBody>
Now just close the div tag where you want the advertisements to stop. You’ll want to do this in your Main Index Template, Page Template, Single Post Template, Search Results Page, Archives Page, 404 Page, and whatever other templates you may have that will be showing the advertisement This will help you avoid seeing ContentLink advertisements in your sidebar, on your banner, or in your footer.
You’ll also find tips to keep your article titles from being spidered, and how to adjust the colors of your links.
As a reminder, if you have less than 500,000 page views a month, you can now apply for ContentLink through John Chow’s special promotion to get approved.











Is that better than Google AdSense in terms of payout? I have heard that AdSense pays you more.
It’s a pity that Kontera only allows publisher from US and a few other countries.
It looks good and I read it complement AdSense pretty well. If it’s open to international publisher, I think it could be as big as AdSense
Arpit – I haven’t been using it long enough to determine if its better than Google AdSense. Fortunately, it doesn’t really matter which is better, as they are perfectly compatible!
So far, I’m earning about the same each day from both.
IQM – Kontera is US only? Bummer, I didn’t even think about that (I live in the US). I think its fairly new, so hopefully it will be opened up to all soon!
