I recently had someone from Kontera contact me about adding their advertising to my web pages. They had previously contacted me a couple of years ago and I had investigated their advertising and written a review of it but they had obviously forgotten about that.

Since they had invited me to join (for a second time) I decided to take another look at their setup to see what had changed. The two things i was able to find out were that:

1. They still don’t support Opera and still have their script set up so that Opera users end up downloading it even though it doesn’t work for them.
2. Instead of the huge 18k script that they were using when I first looked at their setup they now have a 39k script.

My monthly newsletter is sent out on the 22nd of each month. A few weeks later I add it to the web site so that those who are not subscribed don’t miss out on it completely. I few weeks ago I was reading a lot of arguments about the ethics of blocking advertising that is displayed on the web pages you visit so in my September newsletter I wrote about my views on the purpose of advertising on web pages and who should/shouldn’t be allowed to do what.
