Switched To Kontera From Intellitxt

As part of my blog spring cleaning I have just switched from Intellitxt to Kontera for in-line adverts. Intellitxt has been a good servant in the past making around $60 a day, but for the last month or so I’ve only been making around $11/day.

Although I don’t think Kontera works as well as Intellitxt, until I can get someone over at Intellitxt to tell me what’s wrong I feel I’ve got very little to lose. To be honest, Intellitxt’s poor performance has come at a ‘good’ time as Tribal Fusion have asked me to trial their new inline ad service, so at least I will be able to trial new services without potentially losing revenues.

I’ve not used Kontera before, but here are some Kontera Optimisation Tips I found at this site. If you have any others then please feel free to share them in a comment.

Update:  I just got a call from my intellitxt rep who had read this post(!).  Intellitxt’s numbers should be picking up in a few days.  He pointed out an interesting fact about Kontera ads.  If you mouse over some of the ads, their aren’t actually any ads for the links and the link then disappears afterwards.  I think this is really bad as users will get annoyed and will stop clicking the links!

1. Display Kontera ads only on your post body, not your sidebar, header or even the post title

<div class=”KonaBody”>
Your post here Your post here
Your post here Your post here
Your post here Your post here
</div>

2. Avoid ads from appearing on your title post, or any URL

<span name=KonaFilter>
Your title or header that you don't want to have ads displayed
</span>

3. Blend the ads to be the same color as your URL

var dc_AdLinkColor=’#2277dd’;
