    I'm running it on my gadget site and am finding CTR is low but CPC is about double Adsense. Another advantage is that stats are only updated once a day (though I'm sure some may argue that as a disadvantage)

    I running it on all of my sites, desktop customization sites, mobile phone blogs, and mp3 player blogs. But I couldn't track from which site I get the most revenue but I believe it is from the blogs because the content is very targeted and I running non-contextual ads using the scripts from Darren's blogs and targeted few brand related to my blogs

    the program is still in beta. They will implement channels soon I believe.

    And they will allow us to choose ads base on category. So we don't have to search for the keyword to put it on the script.

    I have read in some german Blogs, that some people think that he is maybe sponsored from Chitika. But ok, it cost nothing to try it out. And here on digitalpoint you say it is very good.
    But can I use it here in germany? My Websites are german.
    What can I do? Please answer, I want to try it.
    (A paypalaccount I have already)

    just go here to apply http://www.chitika.com/

    I believe they will give you approval within 1 day. I don't think the site language will be a problem because we can set our own keyword for chitika MiniMalls non-contextual

    I applied overnight and was approved by this afternoon. I just now put the ads on http://yirmumah.net in our ad spots-- I'll try it out for a week or two and compare earnings to what the adsense was doing in those spots.

    One thing I do like, in the blog posts, the little images show up, which is nice and gives people something visual to think about. And the quality is actually good.... i was tempted to click a couple things on my own, who wouldnt want some of the awesome gadgetry in those listings!

    I'll report back after we see some results. Thanks!

    hey!
    I also applied and one hour later an email:

    "Thank you for your application for the eMiniMalls beta. We are excited to let you know that you have been approved to start using our service. Welcome aboard!"

    good:) !!

    So one or two weeks later, I will come here and tell you wheater it is good or not, compare earnings ....

    So, thank you!
    PS: maybe Digitalpoint must open a new Subforum for Chitika :D

    I had chitika account approved for a while, but never got chance to put those on my sites. Today I added it to homepage of my photogrpaphy related site, it looks attractive and hopefully generate good revenue :)

    I don't see the setting in my account to make sure it's not contextual? Where would that be at exactly---- if I can use these on the same page as googleads, that would be great.. but I'm not seeing it...

    Google said this to someone else:

    Interesting AdSense alternative (or indeed even complimetary).

    They are a pretty blunt bunch there:

    Pretty generous though:

    This rules out AdWhoring:

    And

    And this rules out 99% of us DPers :D

    So... Who's going to write a FAQ here on DP for this :D

    So are Nigerian clicks okay, that is a pretty biased view in the online community and will certainly not win them any Indian friends.
