Greetings all, we have a Chitika shoplinc and so far are pretty happy with it. We are yet to make it our own and have only added a simple nav, but so far we are happy with what the solution offers. What is the general opinion of the room on the Shoplinc system, here and there I read bad comments, but I find it hard to see the foundation for such comments. We are looking at offering our clients exposure through the shoplinc system, and the way some of our promotional products work would work well with the "from expert material" It seems simple enough to customize the look and feel with CSS, and with the product integration via RSS this also is an attractive simple feature. Cheers for opinions on what you think of Chitika. Ps. our shoplinc is http://www.juvio.info - We will change the look of it in a few weeks.
Chitika is good for websites having traffic from USA ,UK AND CANADA .those website who dont have much traffic from usa or uk or from canada can not earn much from it they should use adbrite .atleast they pay something even ur traffic from anywhere. plus one disadvantage is that in chitika there is audited revenue and unaudited revenue if u got click from the same ip it will detect ur money in the end of the earning month so i must suggest those website which dont have enough traffic from USA ,UK AND CANADA they should use google as first option and adbrite as second . or only adbrite depends. thanks
Cheers for the input, so far we are quite happy with the service. We are still building traffic but with stats as a backing it shows that it will perform well. Will post here again with our own experiences as we progress. Ta - Patrick
For me Chitika rocks and now I actually plan websites to be monetized with Chitika. They also pay to paypal which is very convenient if you do any other online business (like outsource content writing, pay for directory submissions, ...) since most of them accept paypal.
I use chitika e mini malls and shoplinc. I'm actually running a comparison between chitika and widgetbucks. Check out the two sites: widgetbuckstester.blogspot.com chitikatester.blogspot.com Thanks for visiting in advance! Please provide input if you can!
Do they pay by check and I wonder whats the min payput.. i think ill go to the site and see about it all thanks mabye ill try it
Minimum payout is $10. It took me about 6 months to reach my first $10, but since then clicks have been better, October unaudited income is around $8 so far. I like Chitika as change of pace advertising, it looks different from adsense and banner ads.
Ok tried signed up but got denied i tried to sign up with my paranormal blog but they didnt like the site mabye ill re apply with a better site..
Does Chitika have a video game category? Consoles or games? If not, don't want to waste my time signing up. Thanx.
Sandyfeet, We 45 different categories and about 9 of them are video game related categories.. Lets see theres, Video Games, Xbox 360 Games, Xbox Games, Game Boy Advance Games, Video Game Accessories, PlayStation 1 Games, PlayStation 2 Games, Nintendo 64 Games, Dreamcast Games Remember when your setting up products for your eMiniMalls, if you choose keywords and a category- your eMiniMalls will first show products from your keywords only. Products from your category will only show if there is no product found from your keywords. So you may want to only use a category.
Yeah, I figured that out, joined and got accepted. Just placed the ad code today, so will see how it goes.
Could you give me an example of a page or a site that rocks for you, I have a nice site that I do well with cj and adsense and some others but never used chikta , I did apply for it and was accepted, I am just not sure what would be the best placement etc , If you or anyone else could give me an example of a top earning site or a site with perfect placement , please let me know Thanks in advance
My initial opinion of Chitika was great but it seems to be getting worse. It started out killing Adsense in earnings but now I'm getting as many or more clicks but the cost per click is declining to about 1/3 of what it was when I started. I almost get the feeling like these companies give you a good cpc rate at first and then slowlyl drop it. Maybe they assume once you're making money with them, they can start lowering the earnings but you're already involved so you won't drop them.
anyone using Vibrant Media Intellixt ?I registered with them on sept 2007 the first two months they their payout was good usd 3000 we have high USA and Canada traffic but from october 2007 everything stopped working we are now doing USD30 a day from Usd356 aday someone advice on thier trends for the last 3 months.Though i Greed with them the pay promptly via wire transfer.
Seems , that it is very good concept, but prices and product they not that great. more products and lower prices would help.
I just signed up with my gaming site: EvoWRZ® Games yesterday and got approved after four and a half hours , i`m using now AdSense, AdBrite InLine,InVideo and Chitika. AdSense and AdBrite work fine with me , gonna try Chitika now Regards, EvoWRZ®
I used chitika quite a bit at first, but not so much now compared to what I use to. I find it's a little harder to get clicks now plus there is also a wider choice of programs on the web now compared to what there use to be.
