Read about it in 5xmom Make$Money$ site. Just wondering if this plug-in works on blogs hosted on Blogspot? I don't seem to be able to find the Plugin screen on my Blogspot dashboard...or is it that Blogspot does not allow plug-ins? Sorry for these very basic questions but i'm generally a techie idiot. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Hi Lucia, thanks for creating this plug-in. Read about it in 5xmom Make$Money$ site. Just wondering if this plug-in works on blogs hosted on Blogspot?

I'm afraid I've gotten buried with "real" work though. But, I have been noticing general issue with the way WP inserts span tags while working on other plugins. (There are problems that arise because WP inserts formatting symbols, and I can't control that.) Hi Tricia– I’ve got this slated to be looked at this week.

I've been trying to work it out with Kontera for months but I'm starting to think it's the plugin. I have Kontera on several sites and it works great on the ones that I don't use the plugin in - giving several times more impressions on one website that has less traffic than all of my feverishthoughts.com blogs combined. All the feverishthoughts blogs are counted together on Kontera so this discrepancy is very obvious. I use different themes on all 9 affected blogs so I don't think it has anything to do with one particular theme. I think I did mention this to you about three months ago as well. 7 day results (numbers shown are impressions): triciaswaterdragon.com 14,952 feverishthoughts.com 4,847 The triciaswaterdragon account has one large website and one low traffic blog. So the blog uses the plugin. The feverishthoughts account has 7 blogs in it. (I've got two other listings in my Kontera account for another blog and another website as well) Just to give you an idea of the traffic on those sites using my c-panel Awstats for "traffic viewed" The website triciaswaterdragon.com has had 39553 page views so far this month, the blog on triciaswaterdragon.com had 9430 page views and the 7 blogs on feverishthoughts have had 86022 page views. Yet in total the blogs on feverishthoughts.com have just under 1/3 of the kontera impressions as the website on triciaswaterdragon.com. Somethings wrong. My latest problem? I just widgetized my gardening blog and kontera ads are showing up in the posts who's categories the plugin is supposed to be keeping Kontera out of permanently or for 40 days. See 2nd and 5th post on the main page of my blog to verify that they have kontera showing. This occurred as soon as I widgetized. I had installed a couple of new plugins exec-php, Google translate and the widgetized version of top commentator. Once I noticed the problems I turned all the new plugins off with no improvement then turned them all on one at a time again without making any difference. I even took turns turning off at least another five plugins that I've been using longer than I've used KonteraControl and I still have Kontera ads in posts that shouldn't show them. So I think it has something to do with widetizing the site. I'm using wordpress 2.21 on that site if that helps in anyway. So I've got two problems with the plugin at this time - it seems to be over filtering the ads on all the sites I'm using it on and now it's not working properly with my one widgetized site. I really want to widgetize all the blogs and I'm working on changing themes for a few of them, but I really need this plugin to work with widgets and of course not interfere with the amount of impressions being delivered (if it is). Help? I guess I’ve been having the same problem as Jen.

Should there be content tags showing in source code as well as the script? (I looked at your source and didn't see them there - where do they normally show up?) Yes, I've tried several variations on the block settings, from 0 days to 10, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Don't let me waste your time on this, Lucia: it must be some kind of script conflict in there, an aberration that's particular to my theme/setup... but then, some would tell you I always was a bit odd! ;) It's a brilliant plugin, anyway, and good of you to come up with it to make life easier for others.

I looked. I'm seeing the filter span tags but not the content ones. Did you set a number of days to block the ads? One of the settings is to keep the ads off posts that are "fresh" but make them appear when they are old. Hmm… I looked. I’m seeing the filter span tags but not the content ones.

I've been running them since May, and know the script is right because it works as usual if the plugin is disabled... Here's something interesting to ponder: when I took your credit link off the footer and put the Kontera script in the footer instead of in the plugin block, I started to get ads again -- but only 0-1 per page instead of the usual 5. Odd, isn't it? Thanks for answering, Lucia.

These means there are two possible issues: 1)If this is the first time you have posted the javascript, Kontera will be sampling your page. They say it takes 1-2 days before they deliver the ads. 2) You could have made an error cutting and pasting the Kontera script. (Each persons is different, and you must get a different script for each domain.) So, proof-read the script, and then wait. (Or if you've been running this a long time, let me know and I'll try to figure out more.) Jen: the Javascript appears in the footer. These means there are two possible issues:
