Goodbye to DGM and Kontera
…. yes it is time to say that.
After trying Kontera for more than a year DGM for more than 6 months, I have finally decided to say goodbye. I did earn some money from Kontera. DGM also, well some of the advertisers were paying well, but overall performance on my site was not that good.
However I did stick with DGM for more than 6 months thinking that i should reach the minimum payout. I believe it is short of a few Rs. But i am not interested anymore. I don’t want to wait for another month to see that the amount has reached the payout level. I am still very very happy with the main source of income ie Google Adsense and the extra income from TLA and direct advertisers.
Last month i increased my ad spots from 4 to 10 in TLA and luckily 9 of them are sold and only one spot is left. And the last spot will be also sold off soon and it is good money for a 250×250 ad space where you can have 10 links.I am waiting for the day when my other sites will also be included in the TLA.
October was a very good month for this blog also. The monthly income doubled. I now believe that this blog can also earn good money 
. I am still reviewing what all keywords are popular on this blog. I will make sure that i post more on those keywords. However this is my blog, so you will find other posts from me, which may not be so interesting for you, but I know, it will make me happy and the blog is all about Being Happy.
Be happy and enjoy life!
Kontera and Google
I did a post about my good earning in January month and how Google Adsense income was increasing for me with each passing month and I did also mention about the Kontera ads not working as good as I had expected. There was also one comment from a Kontera employee, working as Publisher Services Manager and as per his instructions I did write to Kontera about the optimization part and in reply to my email , the Support person wrote to me
“As for your account settings, I have adjusted them to allow increased ContentLink density; however, I need to impress upon you that Kontera’s ContentLinks and Google Adsense are not proportional streams of ad revenue. Kontera is meant to complement your ad revenue, not to supplement it. Of course, we will do everything in our power to generate the highest revenues possible for your site, but the revenue generated by ContentLinks is in no way meant to replace or rival your other ad sources.”
I was really happy to read their reply and how they have categorically mentioned that
- Kontera is to compliment the revenue and not to supplement.
- Kontera’s ContentLinks and Google Adsense are not proportional stremas of ad revenue.
- Kontera ContentLinks is in no way meant to replace or rival other ad revenues.
So for thsoe people who are thinking of replacing Google Adsense with Kontera ContentLinks, make sure that you are aware of these points.
