    Hello xxxx,

    We are sending this message to inform you that your account ID:
    xxxxxxxx has been suspended. Traffic analysis for your account
    highlighted plausible fraudulent activity or a breach of our terms and conditions
    and we are suspending your account until we resolve this issue. We are
    also working with our ad partners to reject all fraudulent clicks and
    refund the amounts.

    Please remove our code from your web pages immediately. You will not be
    paid for any fraudulent traffic or for any traffic going forward.

    Regards,
    Chitika Customer Service

    Suspended means....
    Is it temporary....

    I'm not suspended...but then again nobody's clicking on them, either, since they made the changes to the ads last month.

    I would love to see a follow-up poll.

    What percentage of people suspended by chitika have EVER been suspended by any other advertising program in the past.

    I tried Chitika for a couple of weeks but did not get one click. My adsense ads on the other hand did very well. Took Chitika off the site and now the site does better. I believe it is better to keep your site simple and focused and Chitika just seem to confuse my visitors. I am sure other are having success with Chitika but sadly it was not me.

    I just gave Chitika another try, now I want to remove it again. It seems better to stick with the big names.

    After being with them for three months + I have been suspended today. As to why I dont know, I can guarantee there was no fraud and none of my other ad networks have suspended me in the 12 months+ I have worked with them.

    There is something very wrong with Chitika right now and I knew it was only a matter of time before they hit my account after reading this forum. They must have owed me about $1000 for the three months worth of activity.
