I tried out Kontera ads a long time ago on some of my websites, even this blog if I remember correctly. It wasn’t much of a success. It made a few cents every now and then, and ultimately provided a poor experience for the website visitors. However, like 10 days ago, I decided to retry it on two of my websites: Pimp Myspace and Myspace Tweaks. Since these are myspace resource sites, the visitors are probably used to getting bombarded with ads… so a couple inline text ads won’t affect user experience.

Since I started back on the 14th, I have earned $10.39. It started out a little slow, but each of the last 5 days have all been over $1 earnings. $1 is peanuts, but I’m also the guy that stops to pick up a dime no the street, so I’ll take anything. That’s an extra $30 a month for doing nothing. Here’s a screenshot of the earnings. I had to black out certain parts because I’m not sure if their TOS allows us to post number of clicks and CTR.

I don’t plan on running Kontera ads on any of my other websites, like my forums. They’re just a pain in the ass and really annoying. If the earnings from them ever drop to below 50 cents a day I’ll probably just remove them.
