Hello Fellow Warriors,

I have rehashed and rebranded my main blog to make it more professional looking. but am not to sure which to go for!

I have just added Kontera In-Text Advertising on there, but have just come across Snap-Shots and wondering which one you guys would recommend?

Thanks

    Are you talking about the blog on your sig?

    If its internet marketing related, I prefer not to use in text advertising. Your audience will be from internet marketing community and I don't think intext advertising and/or adsense will increase your credibility.

    If you want to make money from your blog, its better to make it from reviews and banner ads. Of course this is just my personal opinion.

    What do you think?

      Yea I am taking about that one in my sig! Took me a while to get approved so though I would test it out! will write a blog post about it asking what people think about it!

      The reason I added kontera is because I have recently come across an article by Richard Branson on entrepreneur.com, where he talks about what they dont teach you in business school!

      Anyway while reading this I noticed the in-text ads on there and thought I would try it on my blog. will probably try it out for a couple of weeks and see what happens.

      I can always take them down anyway!

    I got kontera on non IM niche blogs, and yes it can make money, not much but not bad at all for secondary income stream.

    I haven't try snapshot, I prefer kontera because it's lighter to load, snapshot seems heavier and I personally don't like things popping up on my screen while reading something.

      Yes you should try Kontera and see the results, because IM and CPC world is not complete without testing and trying.

      I also suggest you to use AdSense as well and then compare both which one is providing more income to you.

      Best of luck.

    Don't forget about Infolinks, too.

    I use them on a couple of blogs which aren't really AdSense worthy. Doesn't earn much for me though.

    I'd alternate between all of them, seeing which one provides the best ad relevance, CTR and (of course) earnings.

    I wouldn't recommend using in text links, it makes you seem unprofessional.

    And your background and email submit box are pretty terrible (imo). It looks like I am watching a static TV. It hurts my eyes
