Chitika

Did someone try it again recently?

We dropped Chitika sometime in Jan. this year due to a low performance. Now it seems like they implemented some changes, and I am thinking to put it back and test. Is anyone using it now? What's the performance? How does it compare to what was last fall?

Thanks,
Nova

Same here. I love this product, so I tested it again over a few sites. In 4 days, I had some 3,000 impressions and not one single click. So I took it off again.

Also, I noticed that the minimalls tend to load very slowly and prevent the whole page from loading before.

A pity it does not work. There are no other PPC programs compatible with AdSense. An opportunity for someone to take a.s.a.p.

I have had similar experiences with low payout - however, I have found Chitika to complement Adsense quite nicely on my travel sites.

On the sites I have placed Chitika on, I put two medium rectangles side by side - one rectangle will be Adsense, the 2nd rectangle will be Chitika eMini Mall (I usually choose cameras or camcorders). I seem to get more clicks on the Adsense ads that are next to a Chitika ad.

Your mileage may vary.

You are probably putting too much info into large Tables. Split up your tables and/or use a DIV to contain Chitika for the page to load faster.

Chitika now has multi-product units in several sizes.
