It's So difficult to get money from Chitika because you can only get revenue when you have targeted USA/UK/CA traffic.
You need a lot of US/UK traffic for sure... But depends on your EPC... I also advise you to redesign your site in such a way that it gets a higher CTR. Otherwise, Google AdSense pays better... far better than Chitika. Though, you might have a well-paying niche. You might also want to try out Media.net and BuySellAds.com - perhaps Chitika will accept these ads beside their own units.
eCPM of chitika acc very low, about 0,05 - 0,1$. my blog to have traffic from us, indian, canada, eu.. http://free-download-linkmf.blogspot.com/
Mark my word:- for chitika it's the search visitor you need and from a specific part of the world like: Canada and USA. Visitors from other part of the world won't help you with chitika.
TBH I have used chitika on thefreetube.com and artandflow.com but haven't had much luck. I am unable to use adsense or yahoos adsense like platform due to this being an online TV and Movie streaming site which is not allowed on their platforms. I have virool, adsense, chitika, game promote, and a couple others. They work well and I have decent traffic but I am always looking to upgrade. Any thoughts?
If you want to have higher chitika revenue then the first thing you have to focus on is getting decent amount of traffic. Once you have plenty of traffic then clicks will follow through. You can get traffic by ranking you website on search engine results. You can rank by great SEO. Big part of great SEO is quality content.
Everybody know that you need more traffic and quality traffic. Right... improve SE results... indeed. It's like telling a racer "if you want to win, you have to run faster". The only question is: "HOW?" Quality content is not enough for SEO, despite what's circulating around. You have to spread the word, advertising still is important. But Chitika pays very low. AdSense is still paying better.
The best way to increase earning in Chitika is to post contents which will drive traffic from US and then need to place the ads in such a way that they will give you more clicks. I am talking about traffic from USA because Chitika pays best for those ads which are served for the visitors from USA.
I am using chitika from last five years and gain a little experience which can help you. 1. Increase organic traffic up to 60% 2. Choose text ad unite and place starting and ending of post. 3. Edit ads and match with your theme and fonts color.
True, you have to be patient and work on a blog at least for 6 months, create a good quality user base. There are no shortcut of earning. And for chitika this is more tougher. USA and Canada is the favorable visitor for chitika. I would love to see anyone have a plan for chitika.
