Hi, I've placed my Chitika Ads on my site, but my CTR is very low at 0.39% only How do I increase it? My site is: http://elitehackerspro.blogspot.com/ Thanks
Chitika was recommended by many blogs that I read and so I decided to use it. I liked the idea of an alternative to adsense. However, the CTR was low and I was getting around 5 to 6 cents a click. I have to say that although I would get 5 cents a click occasionally on adsense, overall It is much better. I just took down ads from pages that were not performing well and my CTR on adsense went up. I will not be using Chitika again.
Keep in mind that Chitika | Premium ads target ONLY your search engine traffic, so if you are not getting a good amount of that, you may not do well. chroncile: Right now you have the Premium ad units below the fold on your site. I would try placing one above or below your title for a few days and see how that does for you. Many of our users do this with no problem because the ad won't bother your regular readers, only your search visitors.
It really depends on the placing. Search Google for AdSense's heat map. Use the heat map and you will have your ads at top locations.
