Last week, I received the amount of $169 from Kontera via Paypal. I am not sure if it’s my income in the month of December 2008 or the month of November 2008. What I’m sure is that it’s my Kontera income

Actually, the amount, $169, is not as high as the Adsense income of this blog but it is already better compared to earning nothing from it.

Increase your Kontera Income

Currently, the number of Kontera advertisers is not as huge as the number of the Google Adwords advertisers. In other words, the competition of advertisers in Google Adword is much different compared to that of the Kontera network. So in Adsense you can really earn huge money by simply optimizing your blog’s content with high Adsense CPC keywords even if your blog only has 100 or less unique visitors, but this trick couldn’t be used (currently) for the Kontera.

What I wanted to tell you is that trait Kontera as your extra source of income while you can trait Google Adsense as your main source of income. Even if you are publishing Google Adsense ads, try to publish Kontera ads too. This just a way of maximizing your income through your blog. And you have nothing to worry of regarding the TOS and policies of Adsense because publishing Kontera ads doesn’t violate any of the Adsense TOS and Policies.

Now, what are the trick (they call it secret) in increasing your Kontera income?

Actually, the following ideas are not the trick to increase your Kontera income. They simply are the standard way of optimizing your blog for the Kontera ads.

(1) Increase the number of visitors of your blog.

It is much better to have lots of visitors visiting your blog because it also means that there will be lots of people clicking the Kontera ads displayed on your blog. On other hand, if your blog has no visitors then expect that no one will be clicking your ads.

Then how could you increase the number of visitors of your blog?

Well, I already have written articles on how to increase the number of visitors of your blog. Just read them, “Increase the number of pageviews of your blog” and “Increase the number of unique visitors of your blog”

(2) Optimize your content with keywords used by Kontera advertisers.

Featuring keywords used in Kontera advertising is the most important thing you should do in your blog if you want to earn money from Kontera because without those keywords, you couldn’t display any of the Kontera ads. Don’t forget that Kontera’s In-text advertising is much different from Google Adsense. Read my article, “Making Money Online with Kontera” for you to understand how Kontera works.

To make it clear, even if your blog has thousands of visitors a day if you are not featuring keywords of which Kontera advertisers are using for the Kontera ads, then you’ll never earn money from Kontera.

Read my article, “How to optimize your blog or blog’s articles for the Kontera In-Text ads?”

(3) Invite your Friends to publish Kontera ads at their blog.

Kontera will be paying you $25 for every Active Kontera Publisher you referred into.

You can send the invitation by simply logging in to your Kontera account (click here) then click the “MY ACCOUNT” tab and then the “INVITE A FRIEND” tab under the “My Account” tab. On the email field, simply type the email addresses of your friends. Each email address should be separated by the semi colon “;”. To finally send the invitation, just press the “SEND INVITATION” button.
