Think Kontera could perform better

**Chase** · 09-01-2007, 09:11 PM

At my Delaware Forum, i get like 150k page views a month, my adsense is not great, i get maybe $1-$3 a day. I think the ads are well integrated, i change them up often etc etc....

I was thinking about wiping out all the adsense ads and trying Kontera or something similar site-wide. A in-text ad system. Do you think it could perform better? is this a good question or should i just try it and see?

If this was your site, what would you do to make better money? You guys know your stuf and I am still reading and learning. please advise me oh great ones :thumbup:

I think you can give Kontera a try out. For a forum with this much impression per day, I think you can certainly reach what Adsense has been achieving for you. Moreover, the ads will be more relevant.

I run both Adsense and Kontera on one of my sites (650k page views/ month). In my experience Adsense earnings are not affected by Kontera ads. Instead of wiping out your Adsense Ads, I recommend adding Kontera to the mix and see how you go.

I hear that, but at the same time i dont want too many ads on site, it's still small and i dont want it to seem spammy....

thanks for the input though FOX

I think adsense should out perform the embedded contextual ads. On a forum, its difficult not to run off the visitors when you start turning their own words into an advertisement.

I suggest sticking with adsense.

I was thinking that too, ill maybe ask a few members what they think

I'm pretty disappointed with kontera, I have been testing it out for 6 days now and have only earned a total $2.47 with 10,457 impressions with 74 clicks. I'm probably going to test out amazon's or windows in a few days from now.

**Chase** · 09-02-2007, 03:54 PM

serious? 2.47 with 74 clicks?

adsense crushes that

**Chase** · 09-04-2007, 10:57 AM

Hi,

I'd love for you to try ThundertexT. We have an in-line contextual ad that you can customize to match the look and feel of your site.

Please take a look and let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Stas

Hello,

I'd like to look into this. The results you're getting can be due to a number of easily changed factors. You can send your link by pm so I could give you advise about optimization.
