I am running chitika on my blog since 15-20 days.. But no revenue I earned till now.. Also, today i changed to shopcloud instead of ads.. Can any body tell me - Is shopcloud a pay per click program ? Whats your experience with shopcloud ? Also what is better - shopcloud or Ad unit ?
Think of the ShopCloud more like a Google Link unit if you are familiar with those. The first click will take you to the list of ads, and the second click (if applicable) is what you would get paid for. Since the eminimalls earn from the first click, it is likely that those units will earn more money in the same spot over a ShopCloud. But like anything else, you need to experiment and find what works best for your site. People with ShopLincs sometimes find trouble getting getting traffic to flow over to their ShopLinc, ShopClouds were designed in part to help with that.
A Shoplinc is like having a custom store within (or separate from) your domain. Similar to setting up an Amazon store, but the clicks are paid CPC. The Shoplinc provides its own site that provides pricing comparisons, etc. Here is an example of a Shoplinc.
