I advise publishers not to even try using chitika as they are for sure a bunch of scoundrels. I have been using their network for over 2 months, and more than 5 weeks ago when I realised that I was eligible for a gold account due to my high quality traffic, I applied for it. They said it would take 3 weeks however it has been 5 weeks yet nothing. I have hundreds of thousands of impressions but close to 0 clicks since the ads they post are 100% unrelated and thus not clicked at all. I emailed them again last week and they replied with the same email I had received 5 weeks ago that their system takes approx 3 weeks for approval. I'm sure they make millions of dollars by eating up impressions of small publishers and not paying them for it. A BIG 0 for chitika. Worst ad network ever
simple way. create new blog with blogspot. publish everyday for 3 month. Then, try apply adsense. Make sure, all content in english. And put some "colours" to your blog. Make it interesting.
