How To Make Kontera Links Single-Underline

ADVERTISEMENTS

By default, Kontera links have double underline so that they won’t not be confused by visitors for real links. I found a few sites recently having single underline for their Kontera links instead of the default double underline and checked the page source to find the code they used.

I also contacted Kontera to know if its ok to use this code and they replied:

We do not recommend using single underlines for Kontera ContentLinks.  Users viewing a web page will not know which link is a Ad and which is a real link to an article.  We do not want to confuse your viewers.

I haven’t made my Kontera links single underline yet, but if you would like to try it here’s the code that you should add to your Kontera code:

var dc_single_line = 'yes';

Making your Kontera links single underline may help you get more clicks on your Kontera ads but will also confuse your site visitors, so try it at your own risk.

    Like Kontera said, I wouldn’t recommend this either. Visitors may not like it.

    If you have a site that just gets search engine traffic, and no real return readers to speak of ( and you want to keep it that way ), then this is a great idea. If you value return readers, OY, I’d avoid this like the plague. Good call from Kontera on discouraging it.

    LinkXL and Kontera also work very well together to maximize the revenue generated by your content.

    But for visitor point of view whatever link they click is because they are interested with its content no matter it’s advertisement isn’t it?
