How will Kontera earn us money?
Kontera is like ad sense, they use PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising. If a user clicks the ad you get a commission from referring them to that site. A simple way of looking at this is Google Ad Sense in Text ads, and the company is Kontera and not Google.
(Note: Hubpages Team conducted a test and the results is 10-20% in revenue increase!)
The inside workings of Kontera, How there technology works!
· Extraction: A typical analysis process begins by extracting all the relevant page content and attributes, including: text, HTML properties, location on page, URL, Title, Meta tags, custom Meta tags, etc. Every such attribute conveys a specific weight to the algorithms that analyzes the data.
· Discovery: The extracted data is then scanned through the discovery process in relationship to the proprietary taxonomy and via a dynamic part-of-speech analysis to identify keyword relationships and significance.
· Classification: The page and its best matching keywords are classified with their best matching topics, and both keywords and topics are scored for relevancy.
· Ranking: The resulting output of keywords and topics are then ranked, based not only on keyword and topic relevancy but on other parameters as well. These parameters include: topic and keyword conversion rate and click-through rate, advertisement CTR, advertisement conversion and revenue potential.
· Self-Learning Optimization: The self-learning and tuning module automatically performs yield management and optimization. This process is based on real-time analysis of user reactions to specific keywords, topics, and ads as they relate to specific web pages and topics. In Text Ad impressions are then re-distributed in order to assign more impressions to the keywords that are performing better. This self-learning stage completes the cycle of Kontera´s contextual advertising technology granting it its unique

Kontera In-Text Ads
Thank You for reading my Hub!
Just as an ending note, many people have had problems with Kontera. Personally, I think it should only be used as a fill-in for Google Adsense, if you can't put adsense on a page OR if you can't get an adsense account. I leave Kontera on one Hub so I keep the account open, but a company that has the right to keep your profits if there under $5 a month really isn't that great.
I appercaite all comments! Please tell me what your thinking or if you like\dislike the Hub!

Thanks for posting for my Request.
Useful hub. I tried to sign up but I can't get the application form to accept hubpages url, or my profile details! It keeps telling me to insert a valid url: http://hubpages.com/affiliates
This is the one shown in the Hub instructions. Any ideas?
So far a lot of people have that problem. Read through this fourm and state that your also having problems with it. They are working on a solution this is all you can do for now. I had the same problem but I kept trying over 20 times with FireFox version 2 and I got it. Here is the fourm post about this topic:
http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/5941
Hope it helps!
Thanks, I will go and look.
Good I was wondering it was. Now I know :)
ignorance reigns in my world about this stuff!!
How can I be assured they will provide relevant ads? ebay and amazon haven't?
I have just signed up and await my email conformation.. Kontera must be a good and reputable company if hubpages has implemented it here.
I'm off to gmail...again!
Thanks for this information;)
Sounds like some good information. I will look forward to reading more about this information. Thank you for sharing ...my best to your and your health!
I ALWAYS wanted to know how Kontera worked. Thank you! I'm going to start implementing is instead of ebay and amazon.
I'm currently testing out Kontera on one of my blogs and just like you... I still have no idea how to pronounce it LOL... I probably will eventually incorporate it here on my hubpages too. However, I want to use the monetization options provided here at HubPages tastefully - not just stuff everything in at once i.e. Adsense, Kontera, Amazon, Ebay, etc.... I think hubs will start to look wayyy too commercial & cluttered then.
Great Information. Cheers
Great Information and very helpful. Thanks
thankyou for the helpfum info
Thank you for explaining Kontera in more detail. Did you see whether there is a threshold earnings level at which you have to reach before payout (like Google)? New Day.
Thanks for explaining this!
I have just checked my Kontera account and i have made 5 dollars already!! I had only allowed Kontera ads on one hub for trial purposes,and i will be adding to more;)
Thanks for the article. It seems like this might produce more relevant ads.
HI, BEST INFORMATION ABOUT KONTERA !!!
EDUCATIVE HUB INDEED
Hi Thranax,
Thanks for the info. Well I have not seen many or any kontera enabled hubs. This led me to investigate at the forum. I subsequently disabled kontera from my sites, as I had the impression that the pop ups caused by mouse-over may annoy viewers.
Would you advise me to enable it once again? cheers :)
Is it true that if you make les than $5 in a month, Kontera has the right to keep that money? I think that is how I understood it when I read their terms.
Thanks
nice info...
hi..how can i add those kontera tags to my hubpages? thanks
I understand this affiliate program in a much better way now.
I understand this affiliate program in a much better way now.
Thanks for the info.
Very interesting. What about multimastery's query about having too many things attached to the hubs and looking cluttered? Do you enable all of them? Or which do you think are the best?
thankyou for the helpfum info
nice thanks bro!
Thanks for the lowdown on Konterra, you don't see many well thought out explanations of what it is and why one would want to include it. Previous to finding your hub the only info I found was a rather lukewarm sort of "it doesn't pay much but it pays something" website I found on Google.
I'm no stranger to websites but my hub experience is relatively short. I learned a couple of useful things from your hub that I'm incorporating on my hubs:
1) You had the foresight to add a "Thank you for reading my Hub". I'd not thought of giving thanks to people who took the time to read my stuff... now I feel as if I was pretentious without being thoughtfull enough to include such a small but appropriate ending to a web offering.
You thought of it before me, but imitataion is the sincerest form of flattery and I'm imitating your ending from now on.
2) You created an external website to list your hubs.
Now why didn't I think of that one as well?
I'm in the search engine optimization business and I missed that opportunity... more flattery by way of imitation in the pipeline.
I'm your Hub fan now:o)
Are you on facebook as well?

thank you for your advice.
Thanks for the info! But one question. Do you have to pay Kontera for anything?
No, you do not need to pay them anything unless YOUR the advertiser.
~thranax~
How do you get paid via Kontera? Do you have to sign up like you do with Adsense?
Hey, thanks a lot for giving us relevant information. I have even ignored Kontera, but thanks to you, I would be signing up and be able to get more money over the internet. It's nice knowing someone who posts relevant information.
Thanks for the great info. I'm going to check it out now, I had just ignored it before.
Im just glad I an not the only one who doesnt know how to say it! I understand it now, Thanks, BL
its a good article.
Thanks, thranax. I really need this info since I'm still a newbie to the iWorld. Nice avatar, too.
Thanks for the info....good article....
Yes, Kontera! Using it as an additional way to earn revenue is unbelievable. I joined a couple of weeks ago, placed the code on all of my Blogs and Websites and submitted the proper info in my Affiliate Settings here at Hubpages. I love it and have already earned a few dollars. I'm sorry it took me so long to try it out.
If your here to learn about Kontera I have another excellent pay-per-click network and it's free to join AND you can use it with Adsense and Kontera. Visit my profile to find a link to Chitika. I joined a few days ago and it's another excellent freebie. Thanks for the Hub, you explain Kontera perfect.
