Hello, I have asked chitika support to turn on my contextual version as I am not running google adsense or the like. While I wait the 2-3 business days (snort!) for that to happen I thought I'd ask what peoples experience has been with chitika contextual ON? Thanks in advance!
I have 1 site running with contextual on. I don't get very high CTR although I don't get many visitors either. I do get great CTR on my site where I choose my own keywords though.
I emailed them...but it's taken more than a week for them to set it up...they still haven't and I sent another email.
Well.. On the forum where I just tried it shows digital camera ads in a thread about digital cameras, it show wool coat ads in a thread about winter coats. It shows paper ads in a thread about paper. If it's not contextual it's a darn good coincidense. I run them with non_contextual = 0; and remove ch_query.
Running "contextual on" in one place, just by switching the settings mentioned above. It's definitely contextual, as I have no products defined and I'm getting aquarium stuff in the ads: http://www.aquarianews.com BTW I emailed support as well and it's taking them forever to get back to me...
