I got a chitika account. I have my site.. http://www.topholidaygiftideas.com I placed really good chitika ads, I did everything I can think of.. THIS is what I got. 2005-11-29 1425 impressoins 0clicks and ZERO CENTS. This has been going on for a couple days. You guys must help me here. I realize a lot of people get around 10 clicks + with 1000 impressions. THanks
Welcome to the world of Chitika. Looks almost identical to my stats from a forum website. That is why I posted a thread here asking if "Gift Guides" would be a more practical use of this, with around a bazillion ad units on the page.
I should clarify- I think it's a great ad program. Getting people to actually click is another story. It's obviously not for everyone. (...and this is in the wrong forum, BTW)
No I think its a great program. New way of advertising. Anyone got any tips how I can drive more clicks? Thanks
Put an ad box beside the "Christmas Gift Ideas" banner on the top Your ads blend in too well, giving them a border will make them stand out a lot more, and grab some attention to them. "Welcome to Top Holiday Gift Ideas " --- Put an advertisement above that text. I would put another table above the banner (make it match your layout so they don't look so much like advertisements), and have four or five of the small 180*150 ad boxes beside eachother. TAKE CLICKSOR OFF OF YOUR SITE. They are a waste of space, the Chitika staff are crooks. They pay you what, 2-9c/click? Add more products and product reviews to your website. I wouldn't stick around on your website for more than a few seconds if I went to it.
Hey S2X I've seen you on forum and I look up to you. Thanks a lot for your tips, I've done all them except writing more articles, for now. Hope to see results. Thanks!
I would also try putting one of those new google link units above or below the left navigation, and make the text on the ads the same color as your navigation text color.
If you think it sucks now wait till you get your audited review and your find out your ownly earning half of what you thought you were
Tom_e_rock i've seen that you r publishing Google Adsense and Bidvertiser on same page.... thus google allow this ????? i dont think so you better confirm it first or google will take no time to disble your account ( same thing was hapen to me thats why i am saying ) just a friendly advice
Took of bidvertiser. Didnt bring in more than 78 cents during 3 days. Sure wouldn't want my account to be stopped. Thanks for the tip.
S2X you are a genious!!!! I changed the site like you told me, yesterday 3 quarters of the day. I got a stunning $3.67 in revenue. Today getting lota traffic and I hope to make $10.00 Unless someone from this site is just playing with my head hhaha. Thanks so much!
