Hi guys, I'm trying to confirm if there is something wrong with my sites/traffic or Chitika system-wide. Has anyone else here experienced a sharp 50%-60% drop in Chitika's eCPM since around April 1st, this year? On my site there was no change in traffic volume, traffic sources, site layout or any other change I can think of that would affect eCPM. Also, other types of ads are largely unaffected during the same time. Please share your Chitika performance experiences in the time period. Cheers!
Thanks for your input! Well, I do have an alternative (Chango) but I've been with Chitika for more than three years and I would like to avoid resorting to drastic measures such as pulling their ads completely. They haven't always been that bad, I do hope they'll improve but ever since that integration (takeover , customer database exchange - whatever the hell that was) with YPN last year the trajectory has been down and down There's one interesting aspect to their performance: their international (not US or Canada) eCPM has lately been higher than US. This strikes me as rather unusual. Anyone else made that observation?
