I’ve just logged in to Chitika and opted out of the program. Chitika started serving up the new ads this morning at duncans.tv and they are still crass. Many of them don’t fit the size of the ad, leaving unsightly gaps in my posts. With eminimalls and related product units often on the same page I’m getting double whammies. I’d rather put up with small amounts of income or none at all than have my site cheapened like this.

I think the best move an ad provider can make is to weed out flashing ads, which Chitika seems be to doing. Most readers won’t click on them and most publishers will go to great lengths to get them off their site.

Chitika is not as Big as Google so it has to work its way up. Thus, in doing so it has to keep the publishers happy too. Otherwise they have many options these days. with YPN (for US only) MSN Ad Center around the corner and other PPC Campaigns …..

Thus, if any PPC Advertiser other then Google Adsense is to survive they need to take good care of publishers too who are working hard on their behalf :-)

Chitika doesn’t perform very well for me. I wish it did. No matter what I try to increase daily revenue, the end result is just poor. Adsense beats it in droves for me.

I tried out Chitika about a year ago with almost no success at all and just put their ads back on my blog a few days ago, I have high hopes for Chitika, I like the company and I love what they are doing. I’m glad that they continue to improve and offer more and more innovative ads, I just hope that this turns into more success for me as a publisher.

I’m glad they are looking into it. The Chitika ads were becoming a waste of space.

At least Chitika is working their way.

Chitika is a great company and well, great companies do face problems, don’t they?

How is Chitika as compared to other click ads like adsense ? Anyone? We tried Chitika once but abandoned it as it did not seem to generate enought revenue.

I’m glad about this too, hopefully their change helps us earn more as publishers. Makes me want to go check my stats right now!

I agree with David. It’s refreshing to read the effort being made towards better quality.

At least they are making an effort to help the publishers and keep them informed.

How much do you get paid on a avg CPM ad in chitika. Just an approximate figure or is it dependent on the niche.
