I remember a few weeks ago that Steve was talking about taking the Kontera ads down. I use them on my site and I have talked to a few other people about them, and there is definitely some discourse over their use.
Many people think that they disrupt the flow of the content, and many publishers don't feel like Kontera gives them enough control over how the links are displayed, i.e. - How many links per page, how close the links are together, etc.
As far as affecting CTR for other campaigns, I have not heard anyone say that Kontera significantly affected their other advertisers. That's just me, though, and I'm sure there are others who have a different opinion. |
