Thought I'd share this.........

I recently came across a content-driven advertisement provider similiar to Google's Adsense program. The company's name is Kontera.com. Their web site is here.

The company provides the same ad types as Adsense, same dimensions, and a similar pay out structure. However, unlike Google's Adsense, when someone clicks a link, it opens in a new window instead of taking visitors from your site.

They also provide you with an optional script to place on your site. It creates relevant text links within you site's content - very similar to Google's Adwords project. The difference is that, unlike Adwords, you are paid if someone clicks the link.

All in all, I think this system is superior to Google's. I've already began replacing Google's Adsense links with Kontera's on all of my site's.

I haven't seen any limitations as far as countries go, but they do specify that the content should be in English.

Here are their requirements: https://www.kontera.com/publishers_qualify.asp?help=1

I've gotta amend my last post. They do feature geo-targeting for a few specific countries.

You should keep in mind that some people may not like it when links open new window to display a page, especially if using a browser with tabs. It can be annoying..

Sure they don't exactly leave your site, but then again, if they still want to view your page they'll keep it up and open a new page themselves when they want it. Otherwise, they probably clicked the ad because they're ready to leave your site and are now more interested in the content behind that ad link..

Anyway, just some thoughts to consider. It's not that I'm promoting google monopoly here.

I thought that was the whole purpose of tabbed browsing.

I see you're using both adsense and kontera on your pages... it's against the rules of adsense... they'll suspend your account for that...

Like I said, I'm dumping Google. But I've got a LOT of sites to change.
