What was Your Best Day With Chitika? Earnings

http://www.amazon.com

Find the most expensive products related to your website, and post them up on an advertisement randomizer.

Check which ones are making the most money ($1.10 - $1.50 is probobly the highest you'll find), and take off the ones that pay under 50c.


Heres a keyword randomizer I made that you might find useful if you don't know php, it will track each product with it's own channel:

ob_start();
$chitr1quotes[] = "Keyword 1";
$chitr1quotes[] = "Keyword 2";
$chitr1quotes[] = "etc";
$chitr1quotes[] = "etc";
$chitr1quotes[] = "etc";
$chitr1quotes[] = "etc";
$chitr1quotes[] = "etc";
srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);
$randomquotebchit1 = rand(0,count($chitr1quotes)-1);

echo ("$chitr1quotes[$randomquotebchit1]");
$chitika1 = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Code (markup):

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
ch_client = "********";
ch_width = 120;
ch_height = 600;
ch_non_contextual = 1;
ch_sid = "<?php echo ("$chitika1"); ?>";
var ch_queries = new Array( "<?php echo ("$chitika1"); ?>" );
var ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));
ch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];
//--></script>
<script  src="http://scripts.chitika.net/eminimalls/mm.js" type="text/javascript">

But iam seeing a huge drop in keywords CPC.

After the inrease in number of publishers.

The keywords which gave me 0.90$ are now giving just 0.43$

 

I get around the same impressions numbers as you, amitpatel 3001. But i get around 0.30% Click through, whats WRONG WITH ME!?

 

May be your Placement of ads is Wrong.

 

or................

 

or.....?


What do u want to say!

 

what do don't want to tell

 

hahah no my ad placement isn't wrong. Its right in the middle of the contents page. I think you got some kind automatic chitika ad clicker program.

 

My highest day was just under $23 CTR overall is low but I am working on it

 

No way i hav recieved natural clicks.

Also if there is any automatic chitika ad clicker plz PM me

 

mr.s2x what website do you own. I mean I find it pretty hard for someone to get 1000$ from ads, you must be a really big website owner... Could you give some statistic screen shots? thx

 

Iam also eager to see his website.

 

im assuming people click on the ads on amit's site because there's nowhere else to go

 

Hello
all good Chitika Earner!

I do only earn little
Please tell me the Keywords,
the Articles please!
What keyword do I have to set in?
Please answer.
Thank you!

 

im assuming people click on the ads on amit's site because there's nowhere else to go

Ouch!

Wally, a better CTR can be had by associating the Chitika ads with an article about the product. In a sense, pre-selling the item so that the reader wants to buy the product can induce clicks on the ads and therefore income for you.
Random chitika's can produce clicks but not as many as clicks that are encouraged by the aforementioned technique.

 

New top day now that I have the keywords sorted out, 10xx.xx

 

That's awesome! Gotta get this stuff figured out.

 

ya me too.... hope if even i can get xxxx.xx i can get xxx.xx

 

I keep trying different things, but even giving it prime placement on totally product-focused pages that really kick a$$ with adsense, Chitika CTR is in the toilet...making pennies per day on thousands of impressions.

Maybe my visitors are finding the AdSense blocks more attractive?

If Chitika's reporting was updated more frequently, I'd try pulling the adsense for part of a day to see if that helps.

 

It is frustrating that they can't get their reporting more up-to-date. Seems to me it would be easy enough to be funneling log data into a database in something that more closely approximates real-time. This would also save them from bringing down the power grid when they run whatever horrendous job they have to run that takes them 12 hours to complete.
