Comments on: Do In-Text Ads Really Work? http://www.cwire.org/2006/06/13/do-in-text-ads-really-work/ Making A Living 100% Online Sun, 27 Jul 2008 00:43:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0 by: Paul Gilchrist http://www.cwire.org/2006/06/13/do-in-text-ads-really-work/#comment-34330 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 22:43:10 +0000 http://www.cwire.org/2006/06/13/do-in-text-ads-really-work/#comment-34330 My initial experience with Kontera was good. I signed up and within days I had tags and was earning a couple of bucks a day from one site with high CTR and eCPM. Then I asked for tags for other sites, they responded pretty quickly saying that they would send them in 5-7 days. Two weeks later I am still waiting and not getting any replies to the followup emails. I do notice that they seem to monitor and respond in blogs and forums. Maybe this is the best way to reach them. Hi Guys! My initial experience with Kontera was good. I signed up and within days I had tags and was earning a couple of bucks a day from one site with high CTR and eCPM.

When I knew they was there, I actually got curious about what was hiding behind them. It's an interesting conecpt, and as long as visitors dont treat the site as a spam site because of them, it can actually be a good thing. I Iook forward to Matts report in a couple of week.

I'd appreciate anyone's input on the "annoying factor" about these in-text ads. I will still test it for a few weeks and give my report on the results. Big D,

I personally find them to be much more annoying than AdSense ads because you can easily mouseover a linked word without realizing it (especially if you use a scroll wheel mouse) and thus have the ad pop up without your intention. This is almost as annoying as blinking text IMHO. I’ve noticed these types of ads turning up on a few sites that I visit regularly.

Google can be quite picky when it comes to their service agreements so be careful. Hey Dave,

Does the Kontera offering find its own keywords to make live (contextual) or can the blogger/site own select them manually (non-contextual). It's important to know since a contextual solution can't be run on the same page with AdSense. The product does look good, though, it's 'zippy' enough ... as long as you don't have too many users with Java turned off.
