    New feature by Chitika. This is what they say about it:

    Has anybody tried it yet? I stuck the code into my site but it messed up my entire keyword targetting and ad size.

    From what I understand, you have to use an actual html file (page) as your alternate URL. Pointing to a subfolder probably will produce some wacky results.

    I thought I could just stick in an Amazon link as backup but I guess it's not meant to be that way. :(

    You could build an HTML page that has the Amazon info in it, and then point to that page.

    I have a question about using Google AdSense as my Chitika alternate ad:

    Do I simply insert the AdSense script as the alt URL?

    Such as:

    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
ch_client = "XXXX";
ch_width = 120;
ch_height = 600;
ch_color_border = "#FFFFFF";
ch_non_contextual = 1;
ch_sid = "V-F Block";
ch_alternate_ad_url = "<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-XXXX";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_ad_channel ="XXXX";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "0000FF";
google_color_url = "008000";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>";
var ch_queries = new Array( "digital cameras", "stereo", "sony playstation", "dell laptop" );
var ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));
ch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];
//--></script>
<script  src="http://scripts.chitika.net/eminimalls/mm.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
    Code (markup):
    Or is it more complicated then that?

    I would normally just test it, but my IP is not in a country that would show the alt ad...

    No, you would create a webpage such as 'alternatead.html' and put your AS code in there. Then in the CH code you'd simply point to that html file.

    This is for Rage and others who are scratching their heads.
    Here is a little template for you to copy for making an alternate ad.
    To change the dimensions, change the cssin the section called "#content"
    Easy :D

    Dont forget to fill out the info in the <head> for better SEO.

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta name="robots" content="all">
    <meta name="keywords" content="Keywords here!">
    <meta name="description" content="Descriptio ie. Alt Ad for Chitika">
    <meta name="generator" content="your page editor">
    <meta name="author" content="Your Name">
    <meta name="copyright" content="Your name 2005">
    <title>Page Title Here - Product name perhaps?</title>

    <style type="text/css">

    BODY {
    position: relative;
    padding: 0;
    border: none;
    font-family:"verdana";
    color: #ffffff;
    font-size: 10pt;
    }

    a img {border: none;}

    a:link {
    color: #00cc00;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    a:visited {
    color: #00ff00;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    a:hover {
    color: #ff0000;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    a:active {
    color: #002200;
    text-decoration: none;
    }

    DIV { background: #ffffff; }

    #content {
    width: 468px;
    height: 60px;
    }

    </style>
    </head>

    <body>

    <div id="content" style="border-style:double">

    Ad code goes here. Look at http://altads.ath.cx/amazolympus.html for example :D

    </div>
    </body>
    </html>

    Some ad groups like www.clicksor.com will give you a properly sized url to pop in there as an alternate ad. They will display ads that could earn you money during Googles PSAs or when Chitika has an out of zone viewer. You won't make big bucks but will find some change.

    The problem with clicksor is they have nothing relevant. Most of the links at least for my sites ended up with "looking for xxxxxx?" and a link probably to a search engine or links to join clicksor itself. There seem to be very few advertisers on clicksor from what I could tell. I'm removing them.

    While I don't use Chitika I'm pretty sure that Alternate URL Ads (alternate-url-ads.com) will work as an alternate ad service.

    I use them for my Google AdSense. I like them because they offer a fully automatic contextual system, geo-targetting and unlike clicksor, alternate url and default ads alternate url ads has lots of relevant ad inventory. Ads for alternate url ads come from SearchFeed which has 30 million bidded words/phrases.

    If anyone uses them with Chitika let me know if it works because I'm curious :).
