What should i expect from Chitika?

[skyhawk133]

I just froze my Chitika campaign on one of my larger sites. I was really unhappy with the results i saw in a 24hr period.

50k+ served ads
8 clicks
and i made under $2

Should i stick it out?

Was Chitika the only ad on the page? Which format did you use? Did the ads blend in?

From my experience, here's the answers to the questions:

#1: Using Chitika with Adsense (and presumbly others) makes Chitika perform not as well as when it's placed alone.

#2: For me, the only formats that work are the ones where the Best Deals tab has multiple prices, preferably highly differing.

#3: Chitika has said that they notice higher CTR's when the ad blends into the page.
