What i can say that chitika customer service was not good. I tried it before and when i paste their code into my blog i wont see any ads. I have requested from their help but didnot get any thing. hence didnt try them. but i use adsense with some what success other than any other networks.

Chitika doesn’t really perform well on my blogs, even when they are above the fold. Three tier program sounds to me that they only want just a few publishers instead of thousands. Bad move, in that thousands working for you is better than just a few. I will have to seriously reconsider my participation in their program.

I agree with what Max Powers said above me. Chitika might be alienating a lot of potential publishers who are small now, but can be huge by this time next year.

While dividing people up into categories like this can motivate some people to work harder, others will just move on to another ad program.

As the new kid on the block (O.K., maybe the old kid) programs like this make me feel neglected and ignored. If they thought it out better they could have promoted a “newcomer” program alongside the Premium program.

As Jon Kelly mentioned above, you never know who might be next year’s top tier.

Chitika seems more concerned with attracting only the top publishers. This can be a dangerous attitude for any business.

Higher revenue share for those who earn most? The rich get richer ;)

Guess I need to work harder on optimizing my Chitika.

It’s not supposed to work. That image is just an example.

The mouse over does not work. Maybe it’s just me.

Very interesting, I’m always fascinated to see what other networks are doing. We’ve taken almost the opposite approach. After seeing the “super affiliates” panel at affiliate summit last year, we heard that the best publishers want to be treated well and given a top rev share right out of the gate without having to spend a lot of time in lower tiers. That sounds far more critical than I mean to be — there’s no obivous answer as to how to reward your current top publishers without putting off new publishers who may be next year’s top tier.

Nice, I’ll have to reconsider putting this on my more product oriented sites. I haven’t had the greatest experiences with Amazon and Shopzilla’s aff programs.

CPM + PPC is *very* intriguing.
