I have received my payment of Novmember. So, how was it? Any drastic changes? http://chitika.com/blog/?p=33
Finally! But I had 21.79% revenue audited off. Not surprised as this clicks were before they added alternate ads feature. Chitika's blog post.
Well I got my first payment... maybe I will put em back up on my sites.... such a good product, I just hope they get it together!
Lost 24.50 bucks for November... still would love to have them disclose their audit system... however, December I'm yet to figure... as their system of an ongoing tally is simple silly - should separate the audit and un-audited into months with the final tally for each ... would make life a lot easier all round,
Lost 17% in Nov. and 19% in Dec. How does the bonus thing work? Is it included in audited or unaudited numbers? Rich Owings
Kind of a catch-22 there. If they disclosed their audit system then all of the cheats would know exactly what to do in order to bypass it. All ad systems have auditing mechanisms in place and I've never heard of one that disclosed their audit system. The only difference with Chitika is that you see the difference between raw and audit.
Thanks Tim. Great info here. "The bonus amount is already reflected in the daily and the final monthly audited earnings numbers for November and December." So does this mean that in a non-bonus month the difference between audited and unaudited figures would be 10% greater?! Rich Owings
Edited because of my stupidity. It actually turned out ok, lost only a couple of $. Chitika will stay on my sites because of this.
I lost about 30%... :| I make *so* much more with adsense, even on my product orientated sites - Chitika (For me) Has just been a waste of time.
I "lost" about 30% too, and it is not a fiew dollars.. Still, it is ok. Mostly becouse I worked really easy for that sum. Does anyone get payed by check?
