If you come by this blog often, you’ve already heard of the new WordPress and Drupal plugins we released recently.

We thought, why should WordPress and Drupal users have all the fun? And on that note, we’re pleased to introduce a module that will make life easier for Joomla users. Everyone should have a chance to easily make money from ads on their sites.

The Joomla module allows a simple integration of ContentLink™ ads.
Here are the features it enables:

* Adding the ContentLink tag to all your pages in one click

* Blocking ContentLink ads from appearing on particular pages

* Displaying ads only to non-registered users

* Changing ContentLinks’ color

Nothing’s better for bonding than a bit of that old fashioned bowling time.

Two Kontera branches, one evening, bowling away… and we’ve brought back pics to share.

It’s all right to change your mind. The fact that you’ve been receiving your Kontera cash through one payment method up to now, doesn’t mean it can’t change.
Kontera offers publishers several payment methods. Since we receive many questions regarding PayPal, or more specifically, how to switch to PayPal, I thought it would be a good idea to specify it here on our blog.

Switching to PayPal is a simple task to undertake:

Login to Kontera’s Publisher Center and select the “My Account” tab.
Follow the “Payment Method” link. Now click on the dropdown menu and select “PayPal”. Then type in your Paypal account name.

Here is a point to remember: Your PayPal Address and your Kontera account user name have to correspond. In the event that they are not the same, you’ll need to change your account email address. Go to the “Account Info” link and change your email address.
The next time you log in to the Publisher Center, recall that your login name has changed.

Any change you make to your account information, tax information and or selected payment method will be immediately updated in our system.

WordPress users, making money blogging with ContentLink™ contextual ads has just become easier than ever. With the new WordPress plugin, you will be able to easily customize ContentLink ads to accommodate your preferences.
