i do agree with this...chitika showed a boom in the begining ....i think it was just to attract publishers towards it...i saw a lot of ppl complaining about chitika..........
Read the conversation between Ryan & Jame here about how Linx and Premium's earning are treated: http://chitika.com/blog/2008/11/21/chitika-audits-a-thing-of-the-past/
guys, they all are playing dirty including google. but atleast chitika is making payments. Adbrite is dad of all of them. It doesn't even bother to pay. There support sucks big time. Adbrite doesn't even treat customers well.
I was thinking of using Chitika for my site......but thanks of ur thread..i will not use Chitika. I m using Kontera and it offers nice revenue...
i never used chitika anymore since november 2008. at the beginning, i could make hundreds per month but it got down and down.. it started when the launched the premium ads.
I also tried chitika for more than a month.. The reporting is what I hate from them I felt like being cheated everyday seeing the reports, some click are being disregarded.. I just hope they still pay my earnings even I have stop using their service..
I am using them for the last two weeks. For the first couple of days I received good cpc then it went down drastically. It is not worth the 22 cents I am getting. I am removing their ads slowly. I will not recommend Chitika to anyone.
Yes, i agree with you. I think chitika cheating their pubhlisher. Now, I removed all my blogs from chitika
when chitika started, few years ago, I had account and they made a payment first month, second month when I had $1k earned they closed my account for "bad traffic" :| since that time, I've never used them again
They obviously aren't cheating their publishers. What's the point? Just wait until you get payed, hasn't been a problem for me so far.
