I have
been using Chitika for some time over on spotmoneyonline.com.
I do not put very much into the program and it has been very much one of my
minority income streams. But, even without putting much into it, I have been
making a couple hundred dollars per month with it. It might not be much, but
considering how little “face time” it gets with my readers, I’m not
complaining. And surely, if I took the time to optimize it, I could probably
increase my monthly income fairly easily through Chitika.If you’re not
familiar, Chitika is a company which delivers search-targeted ads. The ads are
completely compatible with Google Adsense and does not compete, so you don’t
have to worry about running Chitika and Adsense on the same pages. Whenever a
user clicks into your site via a search engine, Chitika will deliver that user
a targeted ad block based on the keywords used to find your website. So, it is
super-well targeted. And as of just a few days ago, they are no longer
auditing traffic using these types of ads. The auditing process has been a
source of frustration for publishers because it usually means your actual
monthly income ends up being less than what your stats showed.
NOTE:- You CAN use chitika with
google adsense and too increase your earnings on your website as by increasing
ad units on your website page.
This is the
kind of ad I am running on
spotmoneyonline, which means the ads are only
visible when the site is entered from a search engine. If you go directly to
the site or click in from another site, you will see no ad from Chitika.
These ads
have been working extremely well for Chitika, so much so that it
appears as if they are now making this ad type their priority. When you log in
as a publisher, this is the kind of ad you will see first. Only when you click
the link for other ad types will you see the other options, including Lynx (contextual
ads ala Kontera), whitespace ads (which use your site’s white space
on larger screen resolutions), the eMiniMall and the Multiple
Product Unit (or MPU). Those last two are PPC ads which lead primarily to
products
Chitika on
one side is a good alternative for generating money out of your blog/website
but also do no generate much of a money for you. Just keep in mind before you
join that first, no approval is required from website admin, you just have to
join and start monetizing.
