They are looking to improve their reporting and the timeliness of those reports. It is a new service that so far has been improving over time.
Don't forget that Chitika eMiniMalls is still in beta form. They are working on improving the time it takes to process the previous days stats. I actually don't mind having to wait for the stats. It keeps me from constantly checking my clicks like I seem to always be doing with Adsense. And it is always kind of exciting in the morning to login to Chitika and see your stats. Kinda like Christmas!
I agree. I like that it only updates once a day. The fact that adsense update time varies from 10 minutes to 6 hours kinda makes me crazy sometimes. I shudder to think of the total amount of time I've wasted over the last year checking my adsense #s. Analyzing CTRs and CPM (and staring at $ ) is definitely important, but probably not more than once a week or so.
That's funny...sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to check my revenue...it's addicting!!!
I'm adsense free now so I don't have that problem any more I have to wait until about 21:00 to se my Chitika so I check before bed just to depress myself enough to get a good night's sleep
Yup, it's really annoying here in Europe where the results come in in the afternoon/evening - I'd so much prefer if I saw them in the morning so that I could tweak the sites accordingly.
Mine haven't been showing up until around noon (U.S. easter time zone). It does throw off the nice "check + adjust" cycle I have with AdSense where I can log in early morning and see how yesterday was and then make adjustments to my sites before the day gets rolling. But the service is new & I know they're working on making it better.
