Well to be honest i heard about it before thats its the best option after google adsense but i am very much disappointed by their ecpm in total of 193674 ad impressions i just made $6.33 including ad clicks..
It is to inform all brothers here that if you want to earn good money from chitika, you must have good contents, traffic from search engine, with good and high paying keywords, then you can get your desired eCPM. The Other thing is Ads placement, if you are not placing your ads on appropriate place then you will not earn as much money as you desire. I hope everybody will understand.
I am using chitika as well and I am getting near 1$ per day from page impressions. Don't know why your one is so less.
I think you are right, most of chitika publishers are those people who got banned or never accepted, Chitika is best alternative of Adsense program, but it is not easy to earn money through Chitika with traffic of any region. Chitika is attractive for those who have traffic from USA, Canada and european countries. Adsense program is for traffic of almost all regions.
I feel sorry for people monetizing with Chitika. Adsense is sooooo much better. Or even Adbrite would be a much better option.
There is no comparison of adbrite with chitika, or adsense. Adbrite don't have enough advertisers but Chitika and adsense have, Chitika is thousand times better than adbrite. I think adbrite is not in the counting of good programs.
