First it has nothing to do with spending money on Kontera’s advertising network. Next, not only this works for free but also makes money for you on the way. The only thing you may not like is quality of backlinks. Anyway, as whole thing is fully automatic you better know it or use it.
How it works:
1. Many bloggers who write original content often feel hurt when they see people copying your content as it is without any credit to you. This is called plagarism and the person who is copying your article is called plagiarist.
2. There are two types of plagiarist in our context, one who copies from RSS feed and other one who copies from your pages.
3. Now those who copies from your pages are technically newbie in blogosphere and uses blogger.com and its WYISWYG editor to copy-paste your post content.
4. Now if you are running Kontera, they also copies your double-underlined kontera keyword as it is. At this point, if you ever dig these kontera links in detail, you will find they have href attribute value equal to “#” (hash).
5. This hash (#) is used so that clicking on link should not work on your page as kontera shows small pop-up inline ads first. In simple word this # means “point to this page” only.
6. Now when someone copies your page with such Kontera links # is changed to absolute URL, i.e. page from which content is being copied.
7. FInal effect is – All such kontera links when get publish on plagiarist blogs point to your blog post!
8. This way you get extra backlinks without doing anything. Also you can find easily who is copying from you.
What about quality of backlinks…
In terms of SEO, these links are of bad quality since pages they are pointing to and from pages they are originating contains same content. Google and almost every search engine hates duplicate contents. Still some services just measure number of backlinks to your blog. They may count links like these.
So this is how Kontera gives me more backlinks and decent revenue of course on the way!
That was a cool website I must give a try. By the way I already use Tynt for those who copy my things. And it had worked so far good. But, I am not sure how this will fit with it. I have not made any money with Tynt, but Kontera seems to make me that. But, is Kontera only Blogger blogs or for WordPress too?

I am using kontera in my blog… I just placed that without knowing its useage.. I thought that its just for advertising. But after reading this article i understood its very helpful in preventing copy of articles.

Kontera pays a good amount from the US click so use it when u have good amount of US Visitors…

My primary source of traffic is USA but I heard chitika is better for a blog where traffic from USA is higher…
I think is good but the problem really is that of quality…msot likely those blogs copying you have PR 0 or worse not yet available…
I tried Kontera on my blogs but eCPM was so slow that I switched to Infolinks but also not satisfied with them…. Planning to remove it too now
