i agree chitika is totally scam i suddenly can not log in for no reason i still have more than $400 on my account emailed them no response at all.. pls pls go away from this company..
Huh, how many actually really believe reviews like yours, what proof you have that you were not banned for braking their terms or sending bad traffic, atlesat I don't believe a company like chitika will ban an account for an reason. I completely agree their rate sucks its lowest in industry though they are still well established company and every other site use their ads, if they are scammer then people won't be using them If you were really banned for no reason than that really need everyone to see more details
I said chittika is a scam because they don't care to reply to emails, how can you know the reason if you violated their rules when they locked your account, no emails..
Lately more and more network banning more accounts to it looks like may be they trying to save money somewhere and do not reply since there is nothing to say or have no valid reason for banning account.
Just my 2 cents in using them, I have a suspicion that they skim clicks and traffic and under-report real impressions & clicks. The revenue generated is extremely low with them, I've never had an issue with getting suspended - but then again I was only making cents with a site that on other networks was making substantially more.
i agree.. but if you have enough money from them..you'll in trouble... try to figure it out when somebody stole a lollipop from a kid without valid reason...
Fraud has been growing this year at an insane rate. Even AppNexus integrated Integral Ad Science as a result of the need to keep their platform clean. As a result of companies making investments such as that, in security and fraud prevention, a lot of people who skimmed by undetected are getting caught and banned from networks. And as I think I once saw you say, no one is going to actually come out and post payment proofs and great reviews about a network every where, they are only going to come out to complain and call a company "Scammer people" and intentionally invoke amnesia to omit why exactly it was that they got banned in the first place. When you sign up for a network you should be able to prove the traffic you send them is real, if you can, then display that information when calling the network a scam. When you sign up for a network you should be required to identify your self to the network, and if they ask for proof of identification, don't send them things like fake id's, etc (which I have seen people do, then go online to complain). Publishers are even worse scammers than the networks (who have a fiduciary responsibility to protect their advertisers).
