    I am using both but I think Chitika is better as it also pays for click but Amazon does not, what do yo think?

    Chitika is better as it also pay for clicks and commission but Amazon only pay per sales but the rate can increase

    But then again - for Chitika you need at lest 10K page views/month (at least as per TOS), smaller sites have no chance then. I don't think that Amazon has these requirements too.

    I was also accepted at below 10k pageviews although I am now above that number. My feelings for Chitika are declining about as fast as the CPC. It started out looking very well and now has dropped to almost 1/3 of what it was.

    I run both on one site and I make much more from Amazon than Chitika. My traffic is pretty targeted. I have a product review site and all my amazon links are to direct products.

    If you can make it work try running both.

    Does any one think that Chitika has reduced the amount of money they make from Amazon?

    Do you need to have a certian amount of impresskons per month for Chitika?
    Or do they not really care? and do they pay per click like adsense?
    Im thinking about trying it if a site with under 3,000 impressions a month is ok

    For me Chitika is better, but this isn't really a fair comparison because Chitika is PPC and Amazon is commission based.

    I never earn from Amazon. I just got accepted to Chitika yesterday. I'll see if I will make money off it or not.

    FYI, I was just checking out domains on the godaddy fire sale and was considering chitikatips.com... sounds like some of you might be interested. Personally, I have not tried chitika before, but considering amazon has not shown results it seems worth considering!

    I prefer Chitika because it is PPC and I get a really high click-through rate on my sites. My best performing units are on tv-stream.org on individual posts, the 468 X 60 size.

    It seem they don't really care, they will approve if your site content is about product.
    My site is also new & get approved quickly cause my site content is all about product information.

    I use both chitika & amazon, but amazon script seem to load little bit heavy, I just try the deal widget on my website, it looks pretty nice but slow on loading
