I wonder if these kind of ads would pay better than Adbrite on page views.

I have been looking into Chitika more, based on your other post, and based on the need to increase the monetization of my blogs. I think this is a great idea. I am going to implement it in a few blogs and see how it goes.

I love the fact that it can only shows to those who arrive through search engines and otherwise collapse, so that, as you said, regular readers or people who come directly to your site through a link etc, won’t be put off by the ads, but searchers will be benefited by them.

I immediately tried the ‘mega unit’ at first reading on the Chitika newsletter. Good God, it works wonders and wonders.

Expanded my content width in order to make room for a mega unit after my posts. Gonna test it out and see how it compares with Adsense, for the first three days, I’m getting 2% to 4% CTR. Tomorrow’s the day I find out how much it’s actually making per click.

It’s worth noting that these ads will also be displayed to search engine visitors from Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

I too am not at all interested in Chitika. Adsense pays me very well and the banners I’ve used before with Chitika have been pennies a day.

I wanted to report back with some results. The new ads have much better click through rate. 2-4% for us. Unfortunately, Chitika has a pitiful CPC, at least for our niche.

I have been using chitika since a while, thanks Darren, first heard from it via you after which I signed up and the results are quite interesting. Chitika delivers me triple the income that I used to have with Adsense (add to that that the Adsense CPC has gone down enourmously + idem for their click through) and it gives no problem for my normal users. In fact due to the very bad results of Adsense lately I plan to get rid of them pretty soon once the new site layout is ready. My site gets between 7000 to 12000 unique visitors a day.

The more options the better. Sounds good.

This sounds pretty good. I’ve just placed it on some of my sites. But I can already say that this new ad units by Chitika really looks promising.

Its a shame that it is only shown for visitors from Google search.

I’ve been very careful to make sure that I get traffic from a wide variety of sources – I dont want to have to depend on the big G. So only about ~10 to 15% of my traffic comes from google search.

So I will consider trying it out (I always experiment to see what works), but I cant see it being worthwhile because of their very restrictive terms.

I just tried Chikita for about a week but they didn’t seem to pay as well as Adsense – about 10 cents per click. Also, I noticed my Adsense CTR went down a lot. When I removed Chikita, it went back up. Same thing happened when I tried Kontera. Was it just coincidence, of does can Adsense detect competitors ads and get ticked?

Well chitika is for the already made bloggers not starter with low page ranking. Its still a great way for bloggers to make money on the long run.

I’ve been using Chitika premium ads for almost two months now and have a few things to say about it:

1. The click-through rates are good. Mind you, it’s high quality traffic.

2. So far, it’s paid less per click than Adsense.

3. I find that Adsense ads look nicer.

4. Chitika should provide more advanced statistics.

All in all, I recommend anyone to try them out to see how they perform in your niche.

I definitely wouldn’t use them because it would lower the quality of my website. Users would soon become ad blind. Am I right?
