How is Chitika Affiliate?

    I just noticed that Chitika was in the affiliates section and not the PPC Section..How is Chitika an affiliate service? Don't they pay you based on the clicks you receive and not who buys or doesn't buy from eMiniMalls?

    You are correct.. We are PPC not CPA. We are looking into this with DP

    CPA does not necessarily mean it's not an affiliate program.

    I wasn't aware Chitika was a PPC program (like AdWords). If that's the case please point me to the area where someone can purchase PPC ads...

    Shawn,
    Chitika is a CPC-based affiliate program (just like Google Adsense and YPN). It is meant for web publishers to make money from the traffic they get. And you get paid on a CPC-basis (just like Adsense).

    Just to be clear: Chitika is NOT like Commission Junction or Amazon. You DONT have to have a sale to get paid. When in doubt, think "Adsense".

    That said, I took a look at the "Forum Jump" at the top on DP. Given the explanation above, Shawn is probably in the best position to decide where the Chitika forum should be.

    Shawn replying to my thread? :D

    Advertiser Point of View
    He does make a point, chitika is almost like an affiliate since we are advertising only items on your site...

    Publisher Point of View
    However, publishers are only earning money for the clicks, not for the products which are bought (like amazon)

    You can look at it both ways...but I consider Chitika commonly as a PPC Program
