We are pleased to be visited by Sustines Laplana, owner and writer of Selaplana.com. Sustines has agreed to tell us a few things about his experiences with Kontera ContentLinks.
Selaplana.com is a blog that covers a variety of topics ranging from technology to entertainment . Besides being a valuable source of information, Selaplana.com has been a part of Kontera’s network for a year, making money by displaying ContentLink™ ads, relevant to the topics his readers are interested in reading.
The great advantage of ContentLinks is the fact that it can be customized to accommodate any individual site’s look & feel. Selaplana.com is a good example of ContenLink inegration in terms of ad density and ContentLink color.
Tell us about yourself (name, country, profession)?
My real name is Sustines Laplana and is known online as SELaplana. I am the first and lone blogger in Southern Leyte, Philippines and I am blogging at selaplana.com and at its network of blogs. I am a graduate of BSElectrical Engineering but working as professional blogger. I have no other business, no other job but just blogging.
What can you tell us about selaplana.com? What do you cover in your site?
I have lots of blogs but the Selaplana.com is my main personal blog. It covers wide range of topics from technology, entertainment, personality, politics or religion. Some of my articles are answers to the questions, advice request, comments, criticism or suggestions sent to me via email by other bloggers, blog’s visitors and subscribers.
It also publishes results in different licensure examination by the Professional Regulation Commission here in the Philippines.
How did you first hear about Kontera?
I first learned about Kontera when I found a double-lined text with links in a certain blog in which when I put over the mouse pointer into that text, the Kontera ads showed.
Since when have you been using Kontera?
I started using the Kontera ads on February 2007.
What do you like about Kontera?
Here are a few of the reasons why I like Kontera:
- Kontera ads have higher CTR compared to other ads
- It can be used at my blogs along with the Adsense ads. Google doen’t penalize publishers who are using Kontera ads. It can even be used along with other ad networks like text link ads, sponsored posts, CPM ads, contextual ads with CPC scheme, CPA ads…
- It’s my 2nd highest earner which is next to adsense.
- The ads are relevant in the sense that only the texts within my blog-page are picked by Kontera.
- I can customize the color of the text-link to look like the regular text-link of my blog.
What would you tell other publishers who consider Kontera?
Publish Kontera ads in your blogs or websites and earn more. You have nothing to worry of about other contextual ads because Kontera does not compete with them. It even plays in harmony with text link ads and sponsored posts. It’s really a smart way of maximizing your ad-publishing income.
Thanks for interviewing here, we’re glad to hear from you and hope to see you continue to earn revenue using Kontera ContentLinks.
