I lost some site traffic due to my own foobaring of the site.. but, no, there wasn’t any impact. The stats stayed the same.

Regarding these optimization tips at the Kontera blog... http://blog.kontera.com/2007/11/01/tips-and-tricks-to-optimize-contentlinks%e2%84%a2-for-your-site/trackback/ I've already requested that Kontera don't show ads from Dealtime.com or Shopping.com at my site and have had that request acknowledged. It's my belief that weeding out the advertisers paying the minimum clickthrough will increase the eCPM. Some advertisers, such as the ones above, are bidding on huge numbers of generic keywords... which doesn't really help my visitors or me as a publisher. As for zoning the ads, that isn't really applicable because the ads are being shown on articles which make up 95% of the content of each page. I don't think changing the link color will make much difference. As I've said, I'm getting a 5% clickthrough rate... the problem is the CPM. My content is varied and generic. I would expect to be earning the average CPM of a Kontera publisher. As I said, I was earning about $19 EPM using only Adsense... which I guess is about their average. So I would *guess* that $5 eCPM is the average CPM across the network of Kontera publishers? Hi Vered,

Thanks for your comments.
