Do kontera pays?
kontera earnings
Yes, and here is proof, am making about $100 a month on kontera, it comes from a few sites of mine. Friends and visitors have asked me before that kontera pays or not, so here is the answer, it pays just like adsense, and even support paypal that adsense dosenot.
Why kontera pays so low?
Actually no, kontera don’t pay low, the payment depends on a lot of factors which have more to do with your website than kontera. Here are a few of my sites with September 08 kontera reports. It clearly shows that the ecpm and ctr fluctuates a lot. Based on my experience, here are a few reasons why kontera earnings can fluctuates. Quality of your

content, origin of visitors like search engines, social sites, regular visitors etc. place of visitors, like US visitors converts more. And all these things depends on publishers and not kontera, so stop blaming on kontera for low paying ads, and start working on your website.
Kontera as an adsense alternative:
Yes possibly, but I prefer kontera to be a supporter of adsense. Since kontera dosenot take up additional space in your website, so it can complement to your adsense in a big way. Keep the regular adsense ads on your site and along with it have kontera too and earn the extra dollar.
Dose kontera loads slow:
If you put the kontera code in the footer file of your website then the loading of kontera will not affect your overall site’s loading. Yes it takes time to load, but it loads at last when your entire site is already loaded.
Reasons why I like kontera:
1) Kontera give me the extra dollar, since the adsense income dosenot change when I add kontera on my sites.
2) Payments are made by paypal; so no more waiting for checks and paypal money helps me to further develop my sites, as I buy more content etc with that money. Payments by check option is also available in kontera.
3) Ads look good, visitors like it. It is not like the regular banners, kontera just makes some text or keyword on a page to a link by hiperlinking it. This way, so additional space of the website is required.
4) Support is good, pretty much timely.
In the coming months I will do more experiments on kontera and other ad networks, and make comparisons based on the results. Stay tuned and subscribe in my feeds to get regular updates from this blog.
Kontera In Text Ads - Adsenes alternative…
What is kontera?
Kontera is an in text ads network…
I had tried Kontera for more than 6 months. It paid me at an average of 0.05 or 1 cent per click. With adsense I get 13 cents per click. Note for both Kontera and adsense my site content is the same, the related keywords on my site are the same again. We do not what advertisers pay to Google as advertiser can set the amount to pay per click. But Kontera takes 95 cents per click from the advertisers and pay us about 1 cent.
I don’t think, any other website comes even closer to Google when talking about the amount per click or or ads related to the content or trust.
This is my opinion, yours may be different.
Am not really comparing adsense to kontera, though you can see one of my site gets about 9% ecpm which is very much close to adsense.
Am not sure how you know that kontera keeps 95 cents and pays 1 cent to publishers. May be kontera charges less to the advertisers too. I get the occasional high clicks from kontera, so you are right, my opinion based on my experience is different for kontera.
Still i would like to ask you a question, say you are earning 13 cents from adsense, would it not be a good idea to earn the extra 5 cents from kontera too. That makes it 18 cents total, right. So the common sense is to keep both? and earn the extra money!
Also what’s your ctr, Kontera usually gives a better ctr, so that means your getting double the clicks, that way it is something like -
adsense - 1 click - 13 cents
kontera - 3 clicks - 5 cents each = 15 cents
Now what will you prefer?
