Chitika Changes

Chitika has changed display and other things

[aeiouy]

According to Chitika's Blog they have made some changes. Including reducing curiosity clicks (which seems to be by removing the ability to click on the product description on the product page.)

They believe this will reduce the CTR across the board, so they are offering a 10% bonus to all publishers for the remainder of the month.

Indeed, they changed it yesterday. It's already discussed in this topic: [webmasterworld.com...]

>> so they are offering a 10% bonus to all publishers for the remainder of the month.

And who knows how an already lowered income will fair when clicks are audited, and who knows how they will audit?

10% of almost nothing is almost nothing!

Wow - my Chitika stats are plain embarrassing compared to what they were a week ago this time.

I figured it was too good to be true. It cleary was.

Their blog states that they have added some kind of filter to eliminate more "curiosity clicks" - this in addition to eliminating clicks on images, etc awhile back.

CPC has remained fairly steady - but the CTR turned to crap for me, and the program will no longer work on my site at this rate.

I tried to comment in their blog, but they have scripting errors that make it impossible.

Chitika - it was fun while it lasted, I'll be patiently waiting for my last deposit to turn up in my PayPal account. My statistics say you are filtering more clicks than what I am comfortable SENDING YOU FOR FREE. Good day.

..to drive qualified clicks and improve conversion rates. Just how they are doing this, they don't say. My daily earnings have fallen to 1/4 of what they were.

Right. Curiosity clicks are still clicks. Don't run a freakin' CPC program if you aren't going to pay for all clicks!

What's the differene between a curiosity click and a click that doesn't buy anything? If they don't pay for all the clicks it's not a CPC program as they are advertising on their site.
