I have heard different things from different places, so I am wondering, is it true that Chitika now filters out invalid clicks and doesn't show them, even before the audit? Or is everything shown up until audit time?
yes....now they speed up their process.. but they wont say this is the final audited report.... see http://chitika.com/blog/ here This will decrease the difference between audited and unaudited...
Prior to December, there were no invalid clicks excluded from unaudited reports. Starting in December, some invalid clicks are excluded from unaudited reports. Venkat Kolluri, the CEO of Chitika, recently confirmed this to me via email.
