Another Chitika convert.

I rotate ads by using different keywords.
I disabled the Search feature.

I want to add my experience so far with Chitika yester day was the worst day 7 clicks worth of $.99 with 5000 Impression the CTR is Definetly low.

1. Clothes,Under garnments, Fashion Magzine ADs are Low Paying.
2. Gadgets, Laptops, Mobile Phones etc ADs are high Paying.

What you judge so far from the earnings which Ads are paying more and which are Less.

I also write a blog Entry for this if any one want to read PM me.
I dont want that people will consider it spam.

 

CTR is definatly lower, mostly because Chitika still has a bit of an banner feel to it, it clearly looks like an ad, unless your background is white and you blend it in really well... But hopefully this will change soon!

 

I am glad to see Chitika though, it really eases a lot of fears, if one gets bans for some reason from AdSense, at least we got one program that seems pretty good to fall back on, I am still waiting though for YPN. But I think even with the 'smart pricing' curse etc, I may just stick with AdSense.... for now anyway

 

I use all 3 programs (Adsense, YPN and Chitika). Haven't really got enough stats on Chitika yet, but I like how it adds content to my site (pictures, comparison shopping, etc).

I'll post more when I get more stats from them.

 

If you signed up under someone else then that was a totally selfish thing to do!

 

That already changed. You can set background colors.

It can look like tabbed navigation. The main problem is that nobody saw the format coming so most sites aren't designed to integrate it well. We have to fit it in as best we can.

 

Yeah I know you can, but that looks plain ugly...

 

Wow everyone here keeps talking Chitika. I really do think Shawn needs to open a Chitika forum cuz the affiliate forum is being overtaken.

 

Can you use chitika on other websites like adsense or will you have to register another account?

 

You can use it on all of your sites.

 

Rules say: "Affiliates may not refer other websites that they own in full or in part."

 

Well I've accumulated my first few days of Chitika stats. Nothing to brag about. I took the approach of keeping them away from my G and YPN ads (but on the same page). I replaced some static banners with Chitika. Added a nice touch of content/products to my site.

Probably making around 20% of what I make with G and YPN. But it is 20% that I did not have before, and it doesn't seem to negatively affect my CTR of my other ads. So i'll probably keep it up for rest of the month and see how it goes.

 

I'm seeing quite a few questions here about using eMinimalls - I've written a tips page that has been endorsed by Chitika and have posted it here. Hope it helps some of you who have signed up with them.

Everyone is still in learning mode about how to use them best - but I know of quite a few people who are making serious money from them so far - hope more of us can join them in that!
