My 9′o clock post-a-fail hour could not be resisted after I came across this amusing and rather ridiculous hub.
(Warning: By navigating to the link provided above you agree that I am not responsible for any damages the hub author inflicts including, without limitations: excruciating bullsh*t, fail comparison skills, and others.)
Now that you have your gas mask, armor suit, and protective shield on, navigate to the hub link and read up on all the horrible cons of Kontera.
As you get to the pros section, you get quite confused. It seems like the author ran out of space to write. Or maybe the author has pros-phobia. Or maybe he accidentally hit the publish button and is not ingenious enough to add more information. (He later revealed that after 2 weeks of persistent training finally learned how to add more information. Thank you for the addition.)
Since our good friend was incapable of adding a few decent PROS for the Kontera program, perhaps I’m going to share some of my knowledge. I personally don’t think monkeys should be allowed to write hubs. Apparently it’s not against their TOS.
Kontera Pros – Nick Aviles Approved!
Pro #1: Unlike the AdSense program, Kontera in-text ads is not affected by the tons and tons of AdSense and other advertisement blockers such as the Mozilla firefox Adblock Plus. (Make sure to active while browsing darkside’s hubs)
Pro #2: Kontera ads do not take up ANY SPACE on your website at all, whereas AdSense and other types take up a big chunk of your page.
Pro #3: Kontera approves publishers manually whereas AdWords accepts anyone into the program as long as they pay.
Pro #4: Many huge companies are partnered with Kontera including Ford, Microsoft, Bank of America, Sun, Best Buy, Nintendo, and many others.
Pro #5: Kontera ads do not appear somewhere on the side as a banner or a block that visitors learned to ignore. Kontera appears inside the text content that visitors came for in the first place, which will ultimately increase conversion rate.
Pro #6: Kontera offers advanced targeting capabilities and optimization tools that will increase your ads performance and increase conversions. AdSense doesn’t offer anything like that.
Pro #7: Kontera offers brand protection that monitors and ensures that your ad is placed on pages of suitable content only.
Pro #8: Kontera Network reaches 100 Million Monthly Uniques. Almost as much as your Kontera hater hub.
144 AdSense Cons

I apologize for the delay, had to finish a side job in New York city. Unfortunately, my list of 144 AdSense Cons list burned to ashes in a fire. However, one page did survive, and I scanned it and uploaded below:
