Kontera In-Text advertising
Kontera provides In-Text advertising solution for publishers.
ContentLinks are contextually relevant keywords discovered in real time on a publisher’s web page that are automatically turned into a link to the most relevant and highest paying text ad from one of Kontera’s thousands of advertisers.
What ContentLink can do for you? Kontera’s ContentLink In-Text Advertising solution lets you monetize your content in real-time, enabling an incremental increase in ad revenue by providing a new source of untapped ad inventory that does not compete with the other ad programs running on the site. ContentLink also creates a valuable user experience by serving relevant and informational ads that match the user’s interest and frame of mind.
How Kontera’s contextual analysis engine works:
Extraction: A typical analysis process begins by extracting all the relevant page content and attributes, including: text, HTML properties, location on a page, URL, Title, Meta tags, custom meta tags, etc. Every such attribute conveys a specific weight to the algorithms that analyzes the data.
Discovery: The extracted data is then scanned through the discovery process in relationship to the proprietary taxonomy and via a dynamic part-of-speech analysis to identify keyword relationships and significance.
Classification: The page and its best matching keywords are classified with their best matching topics, and both keywords and topics are scored for relevancy.
Ranking: The resulting output of keywords and topics are then ranked, based not only on keyword and topic relevancy but on other parameters also, such as: topic and keyword conversion rate and clickthrough rate, advertisement CTR and conversion; and revenue potential.
Self-Learning Optimization: The self-learning and tuning module automatically performs yield management and optimization based on real time user reactions to specific keywords, topics, and ads as they relate to specific web pages and topics. In-Text Ad impressions are then re-distributed in order to assign more impressions to the terms that are performing better.

What is RSS? and What is Atom?
To take advantage of an RSS feed you would use a piece of software called an RSS aggregator. Most of them are very similar to email client programs, but instead of incoming emails, they display news from various sources (from all the feeds you have registered with, or "subscribed to" as is commonly said but it has nothing to do with money). Unread news typically appear in bold, just as unread emails do.
While you could theoretically write an RSS file by hand and update it regularly, writing XML manually is a tedious task. Most RSS feeds are produced automatically by the same content management software which also generates the web pages dynamically. All blog tools for example can generate RSS feeds on the fly.
There are different versions of RSS in use. RSS 2.0 is the most common. It is used for news/blog feeds as well as for Podcasting. A newer format, called Atom, is a more standardized way of providing XML content updates. However, it has not gotten wide acceptance yet outside of the blog communities.

GPT Stands for ?
PTR Programs - GPT - PTR - PTC - GPTR - GPTRE - PTC - PTP - PTSU - NPA - PO - PP - EG ???
So many short terms, so many abbreviations. It could be a little overwhelming for the uninitiated at first. On this post you will find a summary of the most frequently used abbreviations, their meanings and some additional background information.
GPT - ‘Get Paid To’
GPT means Get Paid To, and it is the most commonly used abbreviation. People often speak of the GPT industry, or the GPT community. In general a GPT Program can be any type of program that offers their members cash rewards for performing simple online tasks, such as visiting websites, or by completing online offers. Most of the several different GPT programs basically have their own abbreviations. A good example of a GPT program is a PTR or a PTC Program.
PTR - ‘Paid To Read’
PTR is the term used for the programs that pay their members to receive their emails. Other terms are GPTR - ‘Get Paid To Read’ or GPTRE - ‘Get Paid To Read Email’. Some would say Get Paid To Visit Websites would have been a better name, because users are eventually getting paid after visiting the advertised website. However, reading the advertisement text that comes with the emails is important. It is written by an advertiser, and without advertisers there wouldn’t be any emails to read.
PTC - ‘Paid To Click’
PTC programs are very similar to PTR programs. The only difference is that they don’t send you email. In order to earn money you’ll have to log-in to the members area, and click on the banners provided there. Besides the PTC programs, many PTR programs also have a PTC feature. In your account menu you might find a PTC section, where you can get paid additional money or points, to click banners.
PTP - ‘Paid To Promote’
Paid to Promote is often an extra possibility to earn even more money from a PTR program. What it basically comes down to, is that members are getting paid to send visitors to a special promotion page. If a ptr has a PTP feature you should be able to find a personal PTP link in the PTP area. For every visitor you send using that link, you will receive credits. These credits are exchanged to cash often per 1000. Usually 1000 credits are worth something between $0.60 and $1.20. The amount of credits you accumulate per visitor depends on the origin of the traffic. A visit from China would be worth less credits then a visit from the United States or Canada.
PTSU - ‘Paid To Sign Up’
PTSU could be part of a PTR program, but there are also independent PTSU programs that pay you to complete offers. In PTR programs you can often be paid to sign up for other PTR programs. The bonus for signing up will be added in your account once you are confirmed. The PTSU programs often have a enormous diversity of offers. Some examples are: subscribing to newsletters, completing surveys, sending e-cards, ordering samples etc.
General GPT abbreviations.
NPA - New Program Alert.
NPA is a frequent term used by promoters to indicate that a certain program is new.
CPM - Cost Per 1000.
The M in CPM is Latin for One-thousand. CPM means Costs Per one thousand. Usually the cost for 1000 impressions.
CPC - Cost Per Click.
This refers to the cost associated with each click.
PPC - Pay Per Click.
Advertiser are paying money for visitors to their website. They are paying a certain amount of money, per click.
CTR - Click Through Rate.
The amount of clicks versus the amount of impressions, expressed as a percentage.
ROI - Return On Invested capital.
A quantitative analysis of investments, and the resulting returns.
PO - Program Owner.
A PO is a webmaster (WM) who operates one or more GPT Programs.
PP - PayPal.
This is the payment processor that is most often used in the PTR industry before.
AP - AlertPay.
This is the payment processor that is most often used in the PTR industry right now.
EG - Egold.
Another important payment processor often used in the GPT industry.

What is PTR
Pay To Read or (PTR) is a Free program that sends you e-mail messages that came from PTR advertisers. Reading email is like PTC programs you must wait for the timer to finish to be credited. In my own experienced I earn 0.02 from each e-mail I read from my Inbox.
I do not have many PTR program in my list, actually I only have one PTR site its the Hits4pay PTR program. Many of these PTR is not available in my country, Their advertisers limits them to accept members from other country.
I donnot have any affiliate under me at Hit$4Pay, so if you want to be the first one to support me please Join. Thank you.
