How To Automate Bold Text Exclusion In ContentLink
ADVERTISEMENTSKontera’s ContentLink is an in-text advertising program that displays double underlined contextually relevant keywords on a web page that upon mouse-over opens a small bubble like box that displays and links to an ad from one of Kontera’s advertisers.
One problem that Kontera’s publishers commonly face is that sometimes ContentLink link to bold and heading text which can be annoying at times.
To prevent this you can restrict ContentLink ads on certain areas of a page by using the following Span filter tags
Text you don't want ContentLink ads to appear on
This may not however be easy if you have a lot of posts, in that case you can automatically exclude bolded text from ContentLink by adding the following line of code into your ContentLink JavaScript block:
var dc_isBoldActive= ‘no’ ;
This solution should make ContentLink exclude any text wrapped in the following tags: , , ,
,
.
I have tried this out, and it works well for me. Having ContentLink ads on headings was a headache for me until I came across this solution.

That is a great way. But what if the “var dc_isBoldActive= ‘no’ ;” is added, but I want to put a Kontera content link there?

I am staying off Kontera for now. I guess my blog ain’t old enough for too many monetizations. Though I was approved by Kontera sometime ago.
Nice piece of info btw.

kuanhoong- That’s not what he means; sometimes you have Kontera ads on your bold or headings, so to prevent that, you put the code.

Does this code work with Firefox? I’ve read posts that it doesn’t.

John, I’ve been trying to limit the kontera ads based on a category that I post in. Any thoughts on how to do this? I was using the wordpress in_category() function but i’ve been having problems getting it working correctly….

Thanks for tips John, actually you helped me a lot because Kontera added links on several places in my blog which I didn’t want.
Thanks again

Now that I’ve started using Kontera, I find this is extremely useful.
Its nice not having ads show up in the header/footer/sidebar anymore!

I think Kontera’s way of showing ads is smart but lowers the user experience, and that’s why I took it off.

I tried it but it didn’t work out for me and also it makes the user experience bad; therefore, I just dumped the entire advertisement program.
