I read on probloggers blog that you need to disable somthing in chitika to say within the TOS of google adsense when i look at my account i cant see anything that needs to be disabled maybe i am missing or over looking somthing any help would be great via pm or reply here thanks.
if you don't edit anything, then it is not okay. Like JoeO said, you have to edit the script by at least inserting ch_query = "keyword" where keyword is the thing you want to target (e.g. digital camera). Then you will be okay with google.
As per the email I received from Google this morning, in order to run Chitika ads alongside AdSense, you must BOTH: 1) Disable Chitika's contextual-ad ability: Add "ch_non_contextual = 1" and "ch_query="[YOUR KEYWORD]" "to the Chitika script. 2) Disable Chitika's Search function: Add "ch_nosearch = 1;" to the Chitika script. Everyone has discussed #1. Not many folks are mentioning #2. Google's email to me was quite specific on these points.
I learned this from one of the threads here but I forgot which one: var ch_queries = new Array('keyword1', 'keyword2', 'keyword3'); var ch_selected = Math.floor((Math.random() * ch_queries.length)); ch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected]; This way, you can cycle through several ads everytime your page loads but still obey Google's ToS.
Here is the sample code. This will display a non-contextual Chitika eminimalls ads with keywords (laptop & ipod). <script type="text/javascript"><!-- ch_client = "[B]USERID[/B]"; ch_width = 160; ch_height = 160; ch_non_contextual = 1; var ch_queries = new Array('[B]laptop[/B]', '[B]ipod[/B]'); var ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length)); //--></script> <script src="http://scripts.chitika.net/eminimalls/mm.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> Code (markup): I have other Chitika eminimalls tips at http://www.liewcf.com/blog/archives/2005/10/make-money-with-chitika/
i see you are not using the no search ch_nosearch = 1; Storyteller1 says that you should because thats what google has told him
Do the people at chitika are ok with this code modification? Have anyone asked them? Haaa, nevermind, I found the answer myself. It is ok for them, according to this blog. http://pchere.blogspot.com/2005/09/chitika-eminimalls-google-adsense-on.html
This chitika program is really great. I don't know why I have a felling that soon we will be seeing websites with list of top paying chitika keywords LOL
