My 3 Day Experience with Kontera ContentLink

Pay per click advertising has been an effective way for this blog to generate income. Before Google disallowed me to display AdSense pay per click on this blog, I was able to make USD2,000 to USD2,800 per month depending on the traffic level.

Google stopped me from using AdSense, so I sought for some alternatives. Kontera is one of them.

Applying for a Kontera account has been easy and convenient. There is no review process I need to go through. I just have to fill out and submit the application form; and they will automatically send me a welcome email with an activation link that I can click to start accessing Kontera and use their Content link ads immediately.

I successfully generated the Kontera ad code and placed it on my blog. The Kontera Content links showed up on my blog with 24 hours. I saw the keywords such as pay per click, money making opportunity and some other unrelated keywords got converted into Kontera Content links. Non of my main keywords converted into Kontera links. Seem like Kontera is lacking ad inventory for my niche 'make money online'.

So far, I'm getting 40 ad clicks and guess how much I earn from this 40 clicks. Well, no even $1. The pay is so low. There is no way Kontera can compare with AdSense where I used to earn $0.35 per AdSense ad click in average.

I decided to remove Kontera. It is not for my niche. They actually don't have any ad that is relevant to my topic and niche. The keyword 'money making opportunity' which has been converted into Kontera link, when I point my mouse on it, a small box will pops up giving the ad description. The ad is actually promoting a dictionary, it is not money making opportunity of any sort.

It is no point to send visitors to the offers that they have no interested at all. So, I will stop using Kontera.

I think Kontera is more for topics like shopping, technology, electronic products...etc. Blogs with these content topics might earn much better ad revenue with Kontera.

Make Money Online by Sharing Great Deals in Buxr.com

I was recently told by a reader about a shopping information site in a comment that the reader posted here. If you are the reader, sorry.. I can't give you a link back now because I forgot which post you posted a comment.

Buxr doesn't sell products or services. The site simply provide shopping information to let visitors know about the latest best deals on the Internet and help them make better decision when buying online.

Buxr is open for anyone to submit best deal and the best freebie of the day. Every day Buxr will review all the deals submitted by members and pick the best deal of the day. If your deal gets chosen and published as best deal of the day, you will earn $10. For best freebie, you will get $5.

You can submit any kind of product. It can be a discount coupon, free gift, DVD, computer sale and etc..

$10 for submitting a hot shopping deal seems like a nice earning opportunity. But, the downside is that you need to be picked as the best deal of the day. There can be many people submitting deals every day and only two will earn cash. So, your earning are much depending on your luck.

Perhaps you will be more interested to submit deal to Beatthat.com. The site pays between $0.50 to $2.00 for each each hot deal you submit. The deal doesn't have to be best deal of the day. As long as they approve it, you'll get paid. Beatthat only accept deals about electronic products. They often like to accept low price deals from quality store.
