After 2-1/2 days of running Chit on my sports/outdoor forum site, I'm seeing daily earnings 2-3X of my AdSense earnings. I have AS and Chit (non-contextual) running as wide skyscrapers in the left margin of my forum pages. AS typically pays $3-5/day while Chit is paying $7-10/day for roughly the same number of clicks.. in very preliminary results. AS has a higher CTR but Chit's CPC/commission seems to be well above AS's.

There was fall-off in my Chit campaign from day 1 to 2 and I suspect that maintaining fresh non-contextual inventory is going to be a pain. I'm pulling all my skus from shopping.com, and I found that to avoid missing thumbnails from shopping.com, I couldn't use keywords but rather I had to exactly specify each sku I wanted to advertise. I remember doing this with Amazon and it wasn't something I found I could keep up with.
