Kontera Questions - ask them here

1. 0

   Marye Audetposted 15 years ago

   Still wondering what's up.  The last several days my Kontera earning have been cut in half...which is pretty weird since they had been consistent all month...I know that several people have mentioned the same issue.
   Surely it can't be a hubwide coincidence?

      Same here, Marye, although not quite in half. But I think yesterday (7/31) was the worst day ever in eCPM even though my CTR was higher  than usual. And this has been the pattern for a little over a week now- consistently seeing earnings drop.
      
      Between Adsense earnings plummeting and this, my revenue isn't much more than it was before I implemented Kontera.

   I am bumping this up also. If there is going to be a "Kontera questions - ask them here" thread, please answer them.
   
   I am assuming that kontera have simply run out of advertisers. My earnings started at about $2  a day (which was about in line with what Paul suggested they would be) but have steadily dropped to the point where it is now not worth running them, and I am seeing useless ads for "Online dictionaries" and other such unrelated garbage.

   I'm not sure if Mike from Kontera is still checking this thread regularly anymore.  You might get a quicker answer by emailing their support alias.  As with most advertising market places, I imagine they pass on a relatively fixed percentage of what they get paid to their publishers.  So if you're making less they are most likely making less as well.

   Fair enough. Although, I suggest you close this thread if that is the case.
   
   How are hubpages finding the earnings from knotera? The same as the test run, or are they dropping along with ours?

   hey... mike doesn't seem to be responding lately... try this...
   
   in the code that they've sent you, it should look something like:
   
   <!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM);-->
   <script type='text/javascript'>
   var dc_AdLinkColor = 'blue' ;
   var dc_UnitID = 14 ;
   var dc_PublisherID = 00000;
   var dc_adprod = 'ADL' ;
   </script>
   <script type='text/javascript' src='http://kona.kontera.com/javascript/lib/KonaLibInline.js'>
   </script>
   <!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM) -->
   
   The part that I've put in bold above is the line that you'd find your PublisherID... it should be 5 numbers - mine was... i replaced it above with all zeros
   
   You can find this by logging on to publishers.kontera.com and then clicking on the ContentLink Setup.
   
   Good luck.

   forgot the last part... after you get your Publisher ID... go to "my account" in hubpages, then click "Affiliate Settings" and in the Kontera space, input your code. should be fairly simple for you then...

       We can send checks or do wire transfers but the wire transfer fee can be a lot in certain countries.  If you're in a country that does not work with PayPal, just indicated that you would like to be sent a check in the publisher center.
       
       Thanks,

    Hello all!
    
    I signed to Kontera 2 days ago, got my submission aproved and followed the step-by-step instrucions given to me in Hubpages.
    
    I inserted the affiliate reference and all seemed fine... except i don't see any kontera links in my hubs. Did I missed something?

    Kontera ads only appear to readers that are not signed into HubPages, and they can take a couple seconds to load after everything else on the page has loaded.  Try signing out, and looking at your hub again.

    Does anyone know if I sign a client up for a Kontera account?  The client wants me to take care of it for him, but that would mean the second account would be coming from my IP addy, so they might think it's still me, although all the contact info would be different.

       Hi Shirley,
       
       As long as you're not using the same email address, you can sign up another account.  Our system registers publishers via their email so if you're looking to establish another account, just create one with an alternate email address and you should be good to go.
       
       Thanks,
       Mike

    I'm still not seeing any ads on my hubs, even when signed out.  I had a Kontera account before you started it, and I just used that number.  If that was wrong, please tell me how to fix it.

    Don't worry. Adsense and Kontera could go together. Read this hub. http://hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Make-Money-With-Kontera
