Kontera Offers $100 Cash To New Publishers

Darn, I had already been a member, but haven't implemented it yet on my blog. I'm going to wait a little longer 'til I get over 100 posts up and running, then maybe set it up through the Kontera Wordpress plugin.

What does everyone think of Kontera in general as far as in-text linking? What kinds of conversions are you getting?

Kontera website signup sheet did not show the offer though. Assuming that the URL in the Kontera services comment works even though their URL does not mention about the offer either.

It is rather difficult to earn $100 from Kontera, especially for small bloggers. I have signed up but I wish they had offered $100 free advertising credits.

Thanks a lot for the Kontera link. Just signed up. If I may ask whats the social plug-in your using in lower right side of post please. I like it!

that's almost 50 times what I had made on Kontera before I gave up on them.

Thanks John. I signed up last week so hopefully I will get the bonus too.

I have added it to my super massive post titled:

23 Blog Money Makers for 2009.

I have joined up on all 23 ad networks and will keep stats on them all over 2009. I simply want to make money using the Internet and perhaps one day have Earnings Reports similar to John Chow! Good luck to all you other blog money makers out there and a Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to all !

Great post John. I am already up with Kontera and have made some nice money with them.

I wrote a new post on my blog at http://techravings.info/2008/12/stumbleuponcom-tra... which is about getting more and more traffic from StumbleUpon. While writing, that I included some of the tweaks learned from you (indirectly).

Thanks for the clarification.

Though John was wrong about the $100, I still thank him for reminding me to sign up fro Kontera.

Hello,

My name is Vered from Kontera.

Thanks for this great post John. I wanted to drop by and bring to your attention a major issue that needs to be corrected right away.

The new sign up offer is as follows: Sign up to Kontera, reach $75 in earnings and Kontera will round up your first payment to $100. This means Kontera is throwing in an extra $25 – not $100 as was reported here...

The offer is available for sign-ups through Jan 15th and as you mentioned only sign-ups through the following link will qualify http://www.kontera.com/ads-for-site/become-a-konte... .

Thanks to everyone who commented here and please know that we’re always happy to help/offer suggestions to get your Kontera earnings up. Feel free to contact Kontera Support support[@]kontera.com with any question, comment or request.

Thanks again John and happy holidays everyone

Hey this is kool, I've just started blogging for around two to three months am I eligible for this?

making money with kontera requires a lot of patience and a lot of traffic,so be
prepared to t stand by

KONTERA sucks big time! their payments are ridiculously low, the script is slowing the loading of your site a lot and their support sucks as well. dont even bother, i wasted months with them.

Hey, I signed up a week agao, So I wont get this offer right..?
Bad luck to me. I should have waited till today.

Thanks for letting me know this.
cheers

The bonus is tempting, as are other offers. But I am trying to push amazon links on keywords. It takes awhile as I am doing it manually as I post, but it should beat anything else out there. Plus, they are not paid ads.

I had some impulsion to remove it as well.. Didn’t work very well for me.

Hmm.. Isn't selling do follow links on your blog "illegal" in the Google Law? Is guess it is.. and John knows it why ;) I would surely sign up.. But I'm not gonna place these ads on my blog.. Maybe on some other website.. Thanks anyways John! :)

I have signed up for Kontera weeks ago and there is no way i could get this $100. Im earning alot from them now.

If you have good traffic then Kontera will works goods for you

That's very interesting!

Kontera is okay , you need lots of traffic or thousands of pages of content to really make some good money , I have over 400 pages of content with kontera text links and have made about 14$ since july , though it has been picking up lately so I could see the potential of being a publisher . Im also pretty sure after you reach 100$ they allow you to become an affiliate by referring other publishers, who knows how long it will take me to get to that point. Its a goal of sort i guess

Be VERY careful with KONTERA. They were extremely shady and dishonest with me. Don't believe any of their promises unless it is written down.

I just signed up 2 days ago, damn.

That's not fair :( What about existing Kontera publisher?

Hey John, you realize your page title for this post actually says "Kontera Offers 0 Cash.."... Anyway I'm off for the day. laterz.

Thanks for the heads up about this - I dont know that I'll sign up, as I want to develop other networks first, but it is a good thing to know about atleast

How long does it take Kontera to show up on my blog after I install the plugin John? Seems like they're taking their time.

They had a great feature in their reporting panel but they actual REMOVED it!!! Makes no sense. Actually two features: (1) report by keyword and (2) by URL/domain. Both are gone, or move somewhere where it's not obvious.

How do readers feel when they hover over those links and get those pop ups? I've seen mixed emotions with using this kind of service.

thanks for paying a visit John , my bloglog picture of you on my blog makes it look good...I ve not tried this...the payouts are good when you have traffic

Kontera disappoints to be quite honest and bold. Very low payouts and I think (not 100% sure) it slows down the loading process of a page. After removing it from my blog I noticed faster load times and other subtle differences ..like people not getting annoyed with the ads and staying longer to read the actual blog.

Has anyone actually made any money from Kontera? I signed up a few months ago and ran their ads on my blogs for a couple of months but they were never able to deliver ads that were even remotly relevant to my content and I only earned like 1 or 2 cents per click, which didn't ad up to much. I run sports blogs so maybe that was the issue.

What has other people's experience been with them?
