I hate Kontera.
I think this is the absolute worst advertising network around. In case you do not know what kontera is, they are the double underline links that you see plastered all over some blogs, and when you hover over them they bring up a small pop up ad box.

One of the things that every blogger needs is links.

Google has announced they are scrapping their supplemental results index.
