Google AdSense vs Kontera

by Luca Filigheddu on August 3, 2006



Google AdSense vs Kontera

Is the Kontera In-Text relevance engine better than Google AdSense?
Acting as user, I’d say yes. It attracts my attention more than AdSense. The point is that in the latter case, your eyes must move to see the ad, leaving the text/article you’re reading. With Kontera instead, you keep reading and your attention is attracted by the double-underlined word. The result ? My blog readers agree with me:

Google AdSense CTR (Click Through Rate): 0,99%
Kontera In-Text relevance CTR: 3.03%

Any suggestion to maximize the AdSense efficiency ? I think that the Google Ads are well positioned on my blog. I was looking for methods to insert advertising into the RSS, but Feedburner still doesn’t allow it. Let’s see if something changes in the following months.

    As a consumer, I find these Kantera ads extremely intrusive. If my cursor strays over one of their links a big, dumb popup blocks what I'm trying to read. I'm going now to search for a way to disable this crap.

    Maybe...but my revenue fro Goodgle is five times my revenue from Kontera---for the same periods.
    Kontera is a waste of time and space.
  • Cna't agree more... unfortunately it hasn't been successdul for me as well.
  • I hope that using Kontera on the same site with adsense will not get my blog banned from adsense.
    I see that you use it but I don't know how often they are checking, if they are checking if adsense is used on the same page with Kontera.
    I will not send to adsense team an email again because they stopped responding some time ago.
    Probably I ask too many questions.
  • Seeming as my Google Adsense has been disabled on my blog, I'm using Kontera and I'm hoping that it does well in generating income for my blog.

    Time will tell.
