ContentLink™ Stops Working on My Blogs...Probably

It was last April 18, 2008 when I wrote a blog post airing out my problems about Kontera Technologies’ ContentLink™. ContentLink™ is one of the most famous in-text advertising products on the internet today. It works on your site through generating double-underlined keywords that link to relevant ads, content and information.

On that blog post, I stated my absolute disappointment about the product and Kontera itself. Kontera guarantees its customers that ContentLink™ will be functional 24 hours after its installation on their websites. However, in my case, 48 hours had passed and I still didn’t see any ContentLink™ links on my blog sites. How come?

Three days or 72 hours after the installation, I finally saw a double-underlined keyword. At last, ContentLink™ already works on my sites! But why did it take 72 long hours before it became fully operational? Is 72 hours synonymous to 24 hours? Come on Kontera! When you give sureties, make sure it’s definitely sure.

By the way, before I figured out that my ContentLink™ was already working, I got a comment from an Israeli visitor living in Tel-Aviv. He provided me with a link to Kontera’s “Adding Kontera Ads to Your Blogger.com Blog”. How a bit hilarious… Thanks for the help man, but I’ve been to that page and I didn’t pick anything helpful.

I suspect that that commenter named “Adam” may be an employee of Kontera Technologies, Inc. As you can see, I did my research and I found out that Kontera has an office in Israel, particularly in Herzeliya. Teehee! Maybe they got alarmed when I published that post. It might have caused them to act something about their product’s flaws.

Well, let’s move on…

Since I could see my ContentLink™ works, I decided to forgive and forget Kontera’s broken assurance. But, shortly after six days, I got troubled once again. The new trouble: ContentLink™ links stop showing.

Up to this time, I still don’t see any double-underlined keywords on either of my two blog sites. Recently, my traffic has gone moderately high and it’s a big frustration that ContentLink™ links don’t show up. My chance of earning revenue has been doomed.

There have been a reasonable number of net impressions (the number of pages where Kontera was able to successfully mark a ContentLink™) I got according to the summary of my Kontera account. But, how come I don’t see just a single link? Duh, I am like online all day long and checking my blogs from time to time, you know. Are the reports false?

Kontera and Kontera users! Help me regarding this problem. I’ve been missing my ContentLink™ so much. I want to gain revenue from it again. I need advice. Give me one please…

Kontera! Where's my ContentLink™?!?!

Two days ago, I signed up in an in-text advertising provider to try a product that might monetize my web blogs. The provider’s name is Kontera. According to Wikipedia, Kontera’s technology is based on a number proprietary semantic, statistical, linguistic, and yield maximization algorithms that determine online content, extract and rank topics and keywords, and then match them to relevant ads, content, and information. It is much known on the web because of its product, ContentLink™.

As early as March 2008 (the month I started blogging), I’ve been craving to try ContentLink™. I’ve always wanted to apply it on my blogs so I could somehow earn bucks. I’ve seen so many websites having ContentLink™ and I guess, they are gaining huge amounts of income out of it. ContentLink™’s links for me are sort of irresistible and attractive for site visitors, especially those who are non-internet-inclined persons. There is a huge possibility that they will click one of those links, and if that happens frequently, dollars will flow effortlessly.

Actually, I had browsed Kontera’s website just last month. When I first visited the site, I thought that they are not offering ContentLink™ to bloggers with blogs having poor or no page ranks or, a great amount of traffic. I also thought that it’s not free, that you need to buy the product.

Two weeks later, through BlogCatalog.com’s e-mail (I think), I found out that I was totally wrong. It’s free, and my blogs are fairly qualified!

After signing up and confirming my account, I immediately pasted the codes to my websites. Like an obedient kid, I carefully followed every step of the installation process.

Paste the code just before the </BODY> tag and wait for 24 hours for the codes to become functional.

…And so I waited…

Exactly 24 hours later, I was surprised…so surprised that my blogs had undergone…NO CHANGES AT ALL. Freak! I didn’t see any double-underlined links on both of my two blogs. How miserable! There’s no ContentLink™, there’s no advertising, there’s no money.

Why is it so? I’m pretty sure I followed the instruction very cautiously. How come ContentLink™ is still not operational? Is ContentLink™ not available for Blogspot bloggers?

Now that two days have passed, ContentLink™’s links are still not showing up. This is not good anymore. I’m starting to hate my once desire. If it will stay the same for a week, I shall spread to everyone that this is a one lump of shit.

ContentLink™! Kontera! Don’t be so freaky! Give me my links ASAP!
