Is Kontera "worth" enabling on my hubs?
I am thinking of enabling Kontera on my hubs, but was told that it doesn't generate a lot of revenue. Do I have to have a lot of hubs before it is worth my while?
I am wondering the same thing. I'm new with 17 hubs, average a new one every one to two days. What I don't get is HOW to Kontera on my hubs. I tried posting the HTML on each hub but got an error message.
Doubtful, I haven't heard of any experienced Hubber who says it's worth it. Many earn their money from AdSense, Amazon and possibly eBay.
I have over 300 hubs and have been here for three years -- and I think Kontera still isn't worth it. Unless they changed their policy about zeroing out any account under $5 at the end of the month, they're a complete rip-off. I also noticed that within 24 hours of disabling them on all of my hubs, Adsense went up appreciably so I suspect Google doesn't like it much either (considering they're not in competing ad space).
it doesn't hurt so i guess it is worth it. i have enabled it but i haven't made any money from it, then again i've only made 3 cents between adsense and amazon so what do i know.
I guess if it is that easy to setup and let it run then why not have it enabled. It' not costing you anything. I have it enabled on my hubs. But have not checked my income on Kontera for a while, in comparison to Adsense, i'd say it takes longer to start earning and you need more churn.
No i would suggest that you dont enable Kontera on your hubs. I had started earning quite a lot through Adsense when i decided to give Kontera a try to. My Adsense money immediately went down and i certainly was not making up for my losses with Kontera. I find Kontera confusing as one day i would have been paid 3p for 2 clicks and another day i would have 14 clicks and only earn 1p. How do they work it out? i certainly have no idea but what i do know is that as soon as i disabled Kontera on all my hubs my Adsense money went back up.
I never tried it because I don't think it is worth it. You may think "no harm in trying". But the thing is that the Kontra links makes for a less user-friendly reading environment. Some readers don't like Hubs with those links in the content. Plus you don't have control over which link they place it on and what ads.
Personally, I hate trying to read articles with Kontera, whether on HP or any other site. I figure if I dislike them that much, myself, it is a good bet some of my readers will feel the same.
i dont know actually...i also started it recently and i hope it work well as i am not able to get through adsense registration process as it is not not accepting my hubpages profile page as a website.
I have had it enabled on mine for the past year and not seen one red cent from it. Apparently I am not reaching the "threshold" of their values in order to earn. WB
if you compare kontera to adsense ya it gives very less. But think what it takes i got $6 everyday on adsense and $2/ week on kontera then after it is ok with me.

It is strange to note that my earnings from Kontera ads were $32 in October end but now total earnings are $27.5. Though earnings are increasing every month but total earnings are decreasing. I tried to contact kontera sending email but didn't recieve any answer. Neither they have credited the...

Now that I achieve about 12000 page views per day, I felt it a good idea to give Kontera a whirl to see how I got on. Afterall, I have heard that people can achieve $5+ per 10000 page views.It was a complete failure, although my primary concern was the effect on my AdSense income. I enabled Kontera...

Although I have enabled Kontera Ads on all my Hubs, I cannot see any Kontera ad on any of my hub. I visited my account page on Kontera's web site and everything is perfect according to my knowledge.

I'm so close to a payout, finally - after almost 2 years. I realize I haven't had one sooner becuz I haven't done all of the things that earn us money here on HP. I started out not caring if I made money, I was writing for fun. But now that I'm so close I find myself checking in...

I have published 10 featured hubs, and Google has placed ads on all of it. So why still I am not approved for creating Ad sense account? Has it happened to anyone of you?

I joined hubpages some 8 months ago and have already published 37 hubs but up to this writing, I haven't earned a single centavo. I am old. I am a normal human being like you. I need money too like you. Whenever I read and hear a hubber shouting to the world he already...
