Chitika Affects Google Adsense Earning?

    Hi, I have run adsense in my sites for 2 months now.

    This month I applied for Chitika (2nd Dec) and got approval (28 Dec).

    However, after putting in Chitika Ads in all my sites (stupid me :( ), I notice significant drop in page impressions (-50%) and clicks (-40%) on my adsense report...However, earning isn't dropping as much...

    So, just want to ask the experts here who has both adsense and chitika ads. How do your adsense perform AFTER you put in chitika?

    Any special tips on sites with BOTH adsense and chitika ads?

    Thank you...

    p/s: Traffics from Google dropping by 90% :mad:

    I left Google and went totally Chitika and experienced better earnings than Adsense ever gave, but that is probably more to do with the fact I have more product based than keyword based content.

    I visited one of your keyword stuffed sites ;) and perhaps you could adjust your Chitika keywords to fit with what is on your page.

    For example, I clicked Buy Finepix Digital Camera and the chitika ad was for a Sony Cybershot. Shouldn't it be a Fuji Finepix? The content also never mentions the Fuji finepix, just some generic content about a company called argus camera with an incomplete URL for them listed.

    The rest of the site is similar. Click "Canon Digital SLR Camera" and you get the same argus camera blurb with an ad for a replacement battery for a nikon!

    Perhaps that has something to do with the low ctr you are getting? ;)

    What do you mean ? It looks like you replaced 50% of your AdSense ads by Chitika ads, hence impressions and clicks minus 40/50%.
