I have started using kontera on this blog. Kontera is a publisher program that shows ads on certain words in the blog post. Those words will be double-underlined, and once the user mouse overs them it will show relevant ad to the underlined keyword. Normal links of the blog just have (single) underline.
I was hesitant to use this kind of publisher programs till now, since it confuses the users. Therefore I would like to know your opinion on this. Are you okay with kontera ads in the content? If the majority of the readers say it’s not ok, then I will remove them.
Few months back, I had removed FastClick (now known as ValueClick) from www.adesdesign.net after I received complaints from the users that flashing banners were distracting them from reading the tutorials. Now I just serve TribalFusion ads (+Adsense) on my tutorial pages.
So your voices does matter, please let me know what you think about kontera ads on this blog.
I see no problem with Kontera. The doubled line link clearly indicates it will bring up some sponsored ads. Perhaps I’ve seen too many of this and got used to it but it’s fine by me.
- Thanks Andrew! So I guess people do not mind then? (since there is no new comments ;)
Kontera ads don’t bother me, either.
- Thanks Spud, appreciate your feedback on this.
