That is good to know that they took the time to request your feedback and have worked with you to make the situation better. The use of Kontera hasn't really had an impact on my AdSense earnings so far, although I am nowhere near the level of $100+ per month to even lose yet. ;) Staska, thanks for sharing your feedback on Kontera.

But Kontera post was near and dear to my heart. I've had the Kontera ads from the very first day John Chow arranged them for us (small publishers). And they were losing money for me. The day I installed Kontera my AdSense and Chitika CTR went down significantly. And I estimate that I lost $100+ in April due to Kontera. So I dropped them at the end of April and was ready to make a post why. Until I received the enquiry from Kontera asking why I dropped them. I told them about all the reasons and the way I feel they can remedy them.... And they complied to get ne back .... Now I can have their ad open in a new window and they semi promised increased CPC. So I learned one thing from this story. If you're unhappy. Tell people about it! I’m not even sure how I got here. But Kontera post was near and dear to my heart.

Given the focus of your site, I think you should be able to generate a nice CTR. It doesn't hurt to give it a try, just be sure to monitor your traffic before implementing it and after. That way you can watch to see if it impacts the number of visitors as well as how many of them are actually clicking the ads.

I had been wondering about Kontera for my own blog, but I noticed others were not too overwhelmed by it!! However, I think it falls into your two categories, so I'll give it a trial run and see how it goes! Thanks! Hi Derek!

However, I just realized it wasn't going to do much here (at least not right now) so I removed the ad code. I've yet to read much about how Kontera determines price per click but I didn't want to risk having the impressions from this site impact the earnings on my PF blog. Have you had much success with Kontera on your site? Kelly, you’re right that it doesn’t really hurt anything to keep the Kontera up.

Have you had much success with Kontera on your site?

AdSense has been my main earner on my PF blog as well but Kontera is starting to fit in there nicely. With proper diversification, you can really start to increase your earnings.

Still, I have it up in my 'random' blog just cuz it doesn't really bother anybody (I have it blended in using the same color as regular text) so why not have it up?
