John Chow & Kontera Partner To Bring You ContentLink

written by John Chow on March 28, 2007

Make Money!

I have entered into a partnership with Kontera Technologies, which will allow you to run Kontera ContentLink ads on your website or blog without having to meet the 500,000 monthly page view requirement. Until now, advertising networks like Kontera were not available to low traffic sites.

What Is ContentLink?

Kontera ContentLink are those double underlined links you see on this blog. Hovering over a link will make the ad appear. When a reader clicks the ad and visits the advertiser, you make money. Like Google AdSense, ContentLink ads are CPC based. Google allows ContentLink and AdSense on the same page so you don’t have to worry about violating Google’s TOS.

ContentLink can be a nice source of additional revenue. I have said repeatedly, do not put all you eggs in Google’s basket. In order to make money on the Internet, you must have multiple sources of revenue. With this partnership, I can offer you a new source of revenue that you may not be able to qualify for.

Acceptance Based On Content, Not Page Views

The normal Kontera publisher qualifications for ContentLink are:

  • Generate more than 500,000 page impressions per month
  • Be content-rich with more than 50 words per page
  • Use English as the primary language

Under the John Chow Kontera partnership, your acceptance into the ContentLink program will be based solely on the quality of your content and not your page views. We will also accept some non-English sites.

The rational behind this is based on the fact that traffic follows good content. I know many sites and blogs with great content but cannot sign up for Kontera because they lack the page view requirement. If your content is good, we will accept you.

How Do I Sign Up?

Fill out this application and enter “John Chow Kontera partnership” into the Comments field. Don’t worry about the field that ask for your page view. When you apply through this blog, your application is sent to my personal account representative. He will approve you based on your site content and not your traffic level.

This is a great opportunity for lower traffic sites and blogs to take advantage of a revenue source that is only available to high traffic sites. I don’t know how long we will be doing this so take advantage of it and apply now.

Woohoo! My acceptance just came through and I've uploaded the script.

Thanks John!

I also tryed to register from here, but somewhy I feel, that my blog wont be accepted :sad:

I join John Chow myself. I am learning all of this very slowly. I hope all of this is good and where the money is in fact. I am really interested in this how blogging. Having a little trouble with people post back to my channels though. How often do you guys get pay in you all accounts. Someone please respond so i coucld make sure i am on the right track.

:grin: wow nice! I'll try it soon. Im sure my blog does not qualify for it... but soon, i think it will qualify. hehehe ^__^

Your blog should have no problem getting accepted. Kontera has recently changed their acceptance policies and no longer requires you to have high amounts of traffic to utilize the ContentLinks.

I still haven't heard anything from Kontera yet...

I hope they get in touch soon. :lol:

Got approved...now the big question...should I do this or not?

I guess the question you need to ask is, if you want to earn some revenue from your blog or not...??

John, I second Staska's comment re TTZ Media ads! Me wants it! :twisted:

can someone explain what all this thing's about?

Nice work John! This partnership should give a lot of people the chance to add a good revenu source to their site, and it should give you a lot of exposure too, nice thinking! :smile:

One final thanks for this John before I leave the page =)

Today I got a mail from the Kontera. Seems that I'm accepted in their program (or am I?).

They have asked to place b4 the /body tag. Where shall I add this in my WP blog? In the footer.php files?

You will find it in the footer.php of your theme folder.

good one ashwin, keep us posted on the results with kontera

"I have no way to receive payments from anyone but Google right now"

Why not?

The news keeps getting better and better. Thanks John.

First AuctionAds from Shoemoney, now inline ads from Kontera through JC.

And I found an invitation to Amazon Associate Context Links Beta in my inbox today (same as Kontera, except it's CPA, not CPC).

John, any thoughts on opening TTZ Media Ads for us smaller publishers? Would love to put them on my tech blogs

AuctionAds eh? *off to shoemoney's webiste*

I am working on a new system that will allow small publishers to join TTZ Media.

That's great,

As I said, good news just keep coming in.

Keep it up and maybe we all will be able to get to that $26.30 eCPM :mrgreen:

This is good news. How is the performance of contentlinks? I have found several sites that have much less than the quota and they get accepted, but this is more reassuring. THanks.

Adam
TheAdambox.com

Are you sure that they are not in the quota adam?

Yea most are pretty picky. You sure smaller publishers like us are getting accepted?

They are.. I wasn't accepted in Text Link Ads.

Thanks a lot John. I've applied for the program and hopefully my site get approved.

One issue though... the site opens in IE and we need to enter the monthly page views to go to the next step.

Thank you John. I just filled in my application so hopefully I will be accepted.

I think it's a great idea for those who want to experient with different ways to earn some kind of income stream through their websites/blogs. There are those of course, who wish to take the higher moral ground, but most mere mortals need to pay bills, put food on the table etc so if they can earn a little (or a lot as in John's case), then good luck to them.

We also signed up a few weeks ago and are a semi-small publisher. Right now we're averaging $0.30/day. That's not much, but should be enough to cover some annual hosting costs, etc.

At that rate, you get $108 a year.. as a student, that sounds good! :grin:

is it free to join? :neutral:

Yep, totally free to join up. And it's pretty quick once you get the code in. I saw links popping up that same night and was fully live the next day.

yea it only takes about a day for the links to start popping up, and about 2 weeks for it to optimize.

Did you get the flippingrich.com tshirts?

No, I haven't received it yet. When was it sent?

Can poor people get one too? :grin:

This is a good idea, John.

Always be thinking outside of the box :)

This is awesome John. Thanks for arranging this!

Yeah thank you JC. I might consider it!

Cool...thanks Dr. Evil :evil:

I signed-up with Kontera a few months ago and am most impressed with their customer service.

Special thanks to my account manager David Gorcey.

Account manager? I wonder how big or how long you must be with the service to be assigned one..

Cool :cool: Maybe one day I'll have an account manager as well :wink:
