    I put one in and got back a not-too-helpful reply saying basically they're standing by their claim of invalid clicks. Now they send me some upgrade notice about Chitika Select... do they have any idea what they're doing?

    They've apparently lost it... today I get an email asking me to rate the "service" I got. I was forced to choose "very dissatisfied" because "you suck" wasn't available as an option...

    Its not only chitika. Its the same with most of the ad publishing sites including. They only pay selected few attract more customers. Try finding a direct advertiser.

    We work directly with advertisers and publsihers, so payment is of no concern. While we a re a new network, we have no minimum payout amount and have a track record of on time payments for the past 5 months that we have been in beta.

    No surprises. They are all the same. Especially when you near the payment threshold.

    Has anyone here recently got dumped by Chitika and are still receiving emails constantly? I am... this must be some strange new usage of the word "suspension" that I wasn't previously aware of...

    Actually I was searching for a good alternative to Google Adsense, but after reading the posts I don't have any other option.

    Hi,

    Once I tried to sign up with Chiita, but they said that my blog (had more than 100 posts by that time, I guess, since now has more than 240) had little content :)
    I guess that from those available ones, although I've not used them, I suppose that Comission Junction and Pepperjam must be among the most reliable.

    I can highly recommend Prosperent, makes Chitika look like a joke.

    An earnings of < $1 a month and they stated it to be due to invalid clicks?

    I can only say 'WOW'.
