Kontera

Has anyone else tried Kontera as a google adsense alternative? I implemented over the weekend and so far I am fairly pleased with the reslts. I find the ads less intrusive and seem to be fairly relevant to the content in most cases.

Re: Kontera

Not yet.. but am signing up now.

Thank you for the alternative.. getting banned from adsense really hurt.

Re: Kontera

That's the second ad service I've seen recently that expects you to supply your SSN without using a SSL form. Definately doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about signing up with them.... I think I'll pass.

I just put in zeros and will fax it to them when I am ready to be paid.

Re: Kontera

Still, the fact that they make it a required field, and don't use SSL, makes me wary of them... That says a lot about the security they use on the back-end to protect your SSN.

Re: Kontera

If you google them you will see mostly positive reviews and experiences. I would not fault the entire company because of one front end web developers mistake.

Re: Kontera

If they allow that type of mistake pass and make it to the web, it's a serious issue. I do web development for a large bank, and there's no way a non-SSL form asking for private data would ever make it to a production site. It has to pass through many reviews and security assessments.


Seeing that it actually did make it to their site makes me all the more scared...
