Agreed with you. I'm also getting 70% search engine traffic & mostly US. Getting eCPM as low as $0.01 to $0.1. When I asked their support they replied a copy paste reply as follows ... what a big JOKE. Emily - Chitika Support Posted On: 06 May 2011 12:29 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Milan, eCPM is all driven by traffic. So, it really depends on the traffic that goes into your site and how good they are towards your site. There is a lot that goes into eCPM and stats. The only way to get a better eCPM is to drive better traffic to your site. Not sure if this makes any sense. Regards, Emily Chitika Customer Support
I have to say that i tried Chitika for about a fortnight on my site. I got all excited installing the new code below each page. But the code really slowed down the load time of all my pages and the ads weren't even related to the subject matter for my readers. They looked cheap & tacky to say the least. After I deleted the code my page loads 3-5 times faster. In the couple of weeks i used it, I was getting 25c a day. Waoww and that was with say 10k impressions per day. I thought they were going to be good better than adsense but adsense is reliable and now I have added adsense for feeds to my subscribers which is far better than adsense on my site. GO GO - GO GOO-GLE! And by the way I havent even bothered to check whether i have been paid the lousy 10 dollars that i accrued from them.
I wish u luck with the Gold membership on Chitika vinhclub. Give it a shot and see how it goes. But imho i think they are below par.
I know if the exam to become gold members blog (website) must reach 5k per day traffic, and traffic came from usa / ca is the advantage for those who are using Chitika
My site recently got approved by Chitika. After reading the comments in this thread I am in a dilemma whether I should place chitika ads on my site or not. Mine is a relationship and dating website. Does anyone have any experience in this field?
Well, for me Adsense is still better then other PPC networks after all it's a product from Google and we can trust them and hope they will start paying better
If Chitika not upgrade you are a member gold Chitika premium ads will appear when people search "search English"
Google adsense always quite good, but why not combine it with Chitika? I think you are also other income goes: D
Chitika well as creating income-web blog you have high traffic from USA / CA, I prefer (Adsense - Chitika and google affiliatenetwork)
Because adsense keeps banning other members. They are becoming more strict because some adsense users are becoming more abusive.
from what av read so far in this thread..i think more people have confirmed chikita to be an epic Fail..only few people have give chikita a good recommendation...well i just had my adsense account BANNED by google so i need advice on which ad network to switch to
