Is anyone using them?

Do they 100% pay?

I am using them around 25 days, results are very fine.

Regards!

I tried them out. They said their eMiniMalls product gave much better results than their straight contextual, so I tried it.

I gave them a very short test run a couple weeks ago on a few domains. Their ad serving was slow and impressions were undercounted by half or so. Relevance was a problem.

CTR was less than 1%. I pulled them pretty quickly. Great people to work with, I wish the actual ad experience was better.

I haven't tried their e-minimalls out yet, but I was an early beta tester for their contextual ads. Thought their targeting was pretty good for what I saw, and didn't have the same slow serving experience as Drastic. Payouts for the beta test weren't standard, so I'm not certain how revenue would compare to adsense.

I will likely load them up again soon, as their e-minimalls look like good content filler for some sites that [cough]don't have much content[cough].

I have just joined it, Google pays me 3-5 cents per click for my website keywords, Lets see what Chitika pays, Banner UP, will post results after 24 hours.

I just check the 728x90 banner on my website, The ads are totally different from other contextual networks. Its contextual + Graphic ads. Lets see if it effects CTR.

I really hope this and other contextual programs take off, Google and Yahoo do need some copetition. So letīs give them a chance and some feedback. I donīt work with them by the way, but I want them to succeed.

CPC very high than adsense, My Average earnings per click is 1$ ,but Chitika says that it will filter the clicks at the end of the month. Maybe Chitika filter all of my clicks, but can't tell about it now.

What about ad targeting? Are you seeing many PSAs or unrelated smilies ads?

The eMiniMalls product is not a banner product. No psa or smiley ad.

Their network default ads are for tech items like ipods.

I was actually talking about Chitika's RealContext (which, I believe, is similar to adsense).
