Just doing some research into them myself right now, and all I'm finding from the blogger/author field is lots and lots of criticism though some website owners love them to death.

Looking through the ads's on this page I would have to say they are irrelevant to anything I might click on. I've noticed this problem with a lot of Kontera sites, is it a lack of advertisers or bad technology?

The plugin makes it easy to add the necessary Kontera JavaScript and has options to control the placement of the ContentLink ads. The comments on this site certainly have me thinking about an option which I currently do not have which would allow administrators to turn off the ads for logged in users.

The reason I like them is that they offer a great product that can and does actually correctly analyze the page, also any time I have a problem they are there to help. I just got a new account manager last month who has already helped me improve my eCPM by 20% which is great for my revenues.

But I hate the green hover link type of ads like Kontera or any of the other similar ads. It gets in the way of the article, it is annoying, and I don't ever care about the ads. It usually makes me not go back to the site. So, as far as my opinion, its a vocal majority. I don’t mind most ads.
