Chitika | Premium Success Story – PopularWealth.com

December 5th, 2008
6 comments

Chitika publisher Jean Harris of PopularWealth.com has been a computer fanatic since 1982 when he wrote his first program on his first machine, the Vic-20. He’s been an owner/webmaster & a designer of content-based websites since launching his first business in 1997. Starting to blog in 2007, he found it to be a challenge because he was used to digging into code & sharing statistics, not sharing his personal view on things, but found it to be a lot of fun.

Jean soon decided to take the “next step” and start using affiliate programs like Chitika to monetize the traffic to his site and earn revenue.

TESTING
“I’ve tried every major affiliate ad network and service as well as most of the second tier or smaller services. I’ve been disappointed a few times and pleasantly surprised a few others. Chitika Premium has been a most welcome surprise,” says Jean.

Jean, being the “techie” that he is, likes to test and re-test every line of code on his sites for maximum results. So when he started using Chitika Premium one month ago he found it to be easier than he thought. He notes, “using the Premium code has been the best no-brainer move I’ve ever made online.”

RESULTS
My CTR reached 4.60% and eCPM peaked at 7x average AdSense levels. Which is why I feel that Chitika is in a group all it’s own, it can’t be compared to other services because of its unique delivery approach,” says Jean

The ‘unique delivery approach’ Jean is referring to is how Chitika Premium ads are ONLY displayed to his search engine traffic; which means his regular readers are not bothered by any additional ads. He notes “it doesn’t scare off the regulars while at the same time it helps search visitors a great deal. It’s a win-win-win situation.”

He believes that Premium gives the freedom to help visitors find what they want instead of forcing them to see what he wants, “this is key moving forward and Chitika Premium fits that mold perfectly”, he adds.

    We’re going live with Chitika|Premium for the first time today at CheatCodes.com. We’ve previously used AdSense to monetize the very last bit of our remnant inventory, but I’m curious to see if Chitika can beat Google’s eCPMs on the ad sizes we’re displaying. With the amount of traffic we get, it shouldn’t take long for us to have some decent data for comparison. Hopefully, we’ll be one of the next Publisher Success Stories. :)

    This would be a nice shot to start to for this year, hope that cheat site I use, like ConsoleCheatCodeswould also try this alternative ad to make a popular wealth using Chitika|Premium and have more upgraded cheats to use.

    I think the system is still young ;-)

    I have just built a new account. I know I should wait for the confirmation email to confirm as a publisher.

    The confirmation didn’t arrive. I used my login information to request resending my confirmation email as suggested by the system when I finished registration.

    To do that I entered my login info to receive a message that means this account does not exist.

    Strange!

    @Khalid

    There may be an error with your application, please submit a ticket to our support so that they can look into this for you: https://chitika.com/support/

    Thanks.

  5. Khalid Osman Says:

    To submit a support ticket I need login info. I said mine did not work when I tried to login to submit support request before. I said the activation email has never sent to me. I requested that email many times and the system failed to send it.
