I decided to try Chitika, and put them first tier in my banner rotation. I think the results speak for themselves..
Chitika is terrible, I still don't understand why they have there own Forum dedicated to them here on DP, they should replace and close this section, all the threads are about how bad ChEATika is. The results you are having are typical of chitika, they rob publishers. Sigh.
Your eCPM are higher than mines. Mines are at 7 Cents. I've sent them an email hopefully we can work something out. If we can't then I'll drop them.
I have a site (not the one of my handle) that gets 50k page views a day, about 13k UV daily, and making about $20/month. They are at the bottom of my page now and will be gone as soon as I have a replacement. The good thing is I sold the spot they were in for $400/month. Which number sounds better to you?
I just want to say that I completely agree, took chitika down today as well. Not going to show their ads for free.
Well, well, if you think that an eCPM of over $1 is BAD, then please post some numbers from adsense or any other competitor. Recently, all companies have bad eCPM numbers, not like it was 2 or more years ago. I used to make with adsense x3 more than Im making now. Im making slightly more with Chitika for US traffic than with adsense. edit: I just noticed the last records: 3 clicks & 14 c? Certainly, I dont have these kind of numbers with chitika yet.
It is similar to my Bidvertiser stats. I have more than 15k impression and 75 clicks. I've got only 5.50$.
Hmm.. I actually do quite well with Chitika. I don't make as much as I do with Adsense, but they definitely add to my total earnings.
I have tried Chitika on my two blogs previously before I took it down and replaced it with Infolinks. Chitika did a poor job in these two blogs. Now I'm implementing it on another blog. I'm not giving up on chitika yet.
