ContextAdâs R.O.C.K. Methodology

ContextAd is the only technology in the industry that employs the R.O.C.K. methodology to deliver relevant advertisements on dynamically changing content. ContextAd goes beyond searching for a keyword and uses the context surrounding the key concept of each page to reach the most precise page definition possible. Then it matches that definition to the proper keywords and category and delivers only those ads that are the most relevant to the user.

Yes, We have implemented contextweb advertising on our lofi pages. Even though we get lot of clicks, but the Average Rate per click is not soo attractive. However, it gives a very high CPM rate :-)

SORRY! FOR SOME REASONS... WE CANNOT RECOMMEND CONTEXTWEB. WE GOT A MAIL FROM CONTEXTWEB SAYING THAT OUR PAGES ARE NOT CONTENT RICH AND SOME OTHER STUPID REASONS WHICH REALLY HAVE NO MEANING. BECAUSE, THEY ARE CHECKING THE SITES XISTO.COM FOR VALIDATION. THE WORST PART IS, CONTEXTWEB SAYS WE ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR THEIR PROGRAM AFTER THEIR ADS ARE DELIVERED FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS.GO WITH THIS COMPANY AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Update : We got their payment, however their offer of $50 was not included in it.

*Low Whistle*50 bucks a month? I don't think I could make that with a small site. Thanks for your review, I shall go along and test with other ad programs. Lol I hope one day someone will make a perfect Ad program which has no restrictions and no stupid Bot Responses.

not content rich...excuse me there is a lot of content here. Excellent tutorial on PHP, HTML, etc...Also lots of support for existing members and new members alike. I think they need to re-evaluate their system and the people that work for em. Since I'm sure they have really made a bad decision in their treatment of the Xisto family. After all if they treat our Hosts that way I for one will not be recommending them to anyone I know and who knows, other then myself, how many web designers that I know...Oh well thats just my opinion...

ContextWeb was promising. However, they were not upto their word. When I signed up, it said, If by may or some month, we managed to have more than $100, then we would get $50 free. This was their marketting offer. No doubt, being such a big site and putting their ads on all the forums, we did manage to get that amount. However, when we finally recived their payments, no where they mentioned about the bonus value. Besides, their email was really stupid. I put their ads on LOFI pages, which has only and only content. May be said, our forums are so vast dealing with so many topics, that they dont have enough ads to show on our site.

Anyway, ContextWeb Rules are very very Strict. ContextWeb's TOS, has something like this...

If you fail to make $50 a month, then you lose all the amount you have in your account for that month.

They are simply swindling people there. And there are many other rules as harsh as the above one. However, One thing is clear. They are not targetting small websites. Instead of ContextWeb, I would recommend Google Adsense. Unlike, ContextWeb, they do also have a rule for monthly payout of $100, but if you fail to make it, it is transfered to the next consecutive month. Anyway, there is simply no comparision between Google Adsense and ContextWeb.
Also, the RATE per CLICK of CONTEXTWEB is filthy LOW! Its nothing compared to Google Adsense. ContextWeb is better than other pay per click companies like bidvertiser or clicksor.. (But still the harsh payment rules need to be kept in mind).

I hope this information helps. If you are thrown out of Google for some reason, and want to find a CPC Advertising Company, then you can go with ContextWeb. Else, They are not recommended.

Thanks.
