I'm not sure of the max. However, there was someone on another post that mentioned that they've seen $5-$10 clicks before. Not sure if that's true or not, but generally Chitika will pay lower than Google Adsense.
We'll never know because Chitika does not break down stats by number of clicks and there are several different ways you can arrive at the eCPM value that they actually show to you as a publisher. Many people call that a deceptive practice but I'll let you decide for yourself. How does their eCPM look compared to other types of ads you may have on those pages?
I am skeptical about the $5 to $10 clicks! Anyway, you may want to try out Infolinks or Kontera in conjunction with your Chitika to create additional stream of revenue...
If you have sites about lawyers and plastic surgery, then you can get some very high cost clicks. If your site is about video games and wallpapers, then you can expect pennies... and perhaps half a penny.
Chitika pay less then Google adsense but can earn high,how ?It depends upon the keywords on search engine,You may know this is not contextual networks but it is search targeted ad marketplace so better keywords better earning,Visitor come to yours website directly and click on chitika ads you will get 0.00$,If Visitors comes from search and clicks on ads you will get some cents
I think because of the large participation of members, select a new theme for example: the iPod, iPhone, iPad
yes, chitika does have high priced ads in its system but for that you need to get a gold member approval and have nice website , but that's not it u can get high priced ads if you have a good niche and traffic from us/Canada or UK. Don't worry about the money , it'll come work on your seo and traffic. coz when traffic improves the income will too.
You are right, If Visitors comes from search and clicks on ads you will get some cents, but it depends upon your contents or niche, also on the interest of visitor, how much they read your posts or pages. Because the ads change when visitor click on the other page related to the blog.
Infolinks and chitika intext ads will get your site / blog slow. infolinks and kontera don't have high paying ads. If an advertiser is giving 1 dollar a click on adsense, adsense pays you 68 cents. but in the infolinks or kontera, you will get only 2 to 3 cents. so its up to you if you want your site / blog slow with infolinks/kontera and decrease your site earning due to downloading time or leave as it is.
