Sunday Link Love: 191008 Edition

When I posted this call for Probloggers from Kontera last week, JMMO reader Lindsay said:

Do you have to use Kontera?

Blogging has changed my life and is how I make a living, but I don’t care much for those kind of links on other people’s sites, so I’ve never tried them.

Well, first of all: What is Kontera?

Kontera is a a Pay Per Click In-Text Advertising Platform. Basically, advertisers buy certain keywords from the service, and publishers who sign up with them allow Kontera to ad sponsored links within publisher’s blog entries/posts, based on keywords that were purchased.

So yes, all publishers need to do is sign-up at Kontera, add a code in their blog/site, and just blog/post content as usual. Kontera will then “crawl” the publisher’s blog/site for relevant keywords and add ad-links to those that meet the match.

The Issues

Some people are not really comfortable with in-text advertising. They feel that their content may be a bit compromised by having external links within their posts that they do not always personally endorse.

Of course, other people don’t see any problems with this type of advertising platform.

What I find interesting, however, is that while trying to share an example of a Kontera ad being run, I checked their official blog – thinking they might be running it there. And, I didn’t see it. So, I may just be missing it. Perhaps, you can share some Kontera-enabled blogs or sites here, as examples?

Your Turn

So, with these things in mind, do you think Kontera is something you’ll be interested in using on your blog or site? Why or why not?

I was planning on sharing more, but my Internet connection’s really acting up right now. So perhaps, you can fill in here and share some of YOUR favourite links of the week in the comments section? Really great links may be featured in the future!
