Since the release of our flagship ad unit eMiniMalls, Chitika has always provided products and services you can use in conjunction with other services. Thats right - we have no restrictions for using Chitika products with any other revenue-earning ad units on your website.
We’ve received many questions from users asking if Chitika | Premium can be used alongside Google Adsense on their pages. Chitika | Premium is not a text-ad; it’s an interactive, image-enabled widget that is non-contextual and behaviorally targeted. Because of this, you should be able to use both ad units on your page together without being in violation.
As was mentioned yesterday, Chitika | Premium is Chitika’s first-ever ad unit suitable for ALL types of content websites. This ad unit is the first of our ad unit suite to provide non-product content ads such as finance, travel, sports, and more!

In addition to the new Chitika | Premium ads being your highest performing ad units (eCPM), they are Chitika’s first-ever ad units suitable for ALL types of content websites.

As previously mentioned, Chitika | Premium ads will only show to your U.S. traffic, and since they are behaviorally targeted they will only display to SOME U.S. users. So how do you preview this ad unit?
You can preview in 3 steps:
1. Paste the code up on your site.
2. In your address bar add #chitikatest=mortgage to the end of your page URL.
3. Press ENTER then Ctrl + R to refresh your page.
This will show you what the ad would look like to a user who is interested in “mortgages.” You can replace “mortgages” with your keywords to view other ads, just make sure you then REPEAT STEP 3.

One month ago we announced the upcoming launch of a new, high-earning ad unit: Chitika | Premium. We are happy to say that this ad unit is now available to start earning you revenue!
What is this? A smart, personalized targeting ad solution that provides premium content. This ad unit is CPC and is designed to be your highest performing ad unit (eCPM).

Who should use this ad unit? Chitika | Premium ads are a great fit for any website with any type of content including finance, travel, sports, etc. If your website gets a lot of U.S. traffic, then Chitika | Premium ads are a perfect match for you.
When will this ad unit display on my site? Chitika | Premium ads will only show to U.S. traffic, and since they are behaviorally targeted they will only display to SOME U.S. users. When your Premium ad unit does display for a visitor it will show them advertisements they are interested in (because, after all, it’s behaviorally targeted).
What happens when Chitika | Premium does not display? The ad simply collapses into nothing. You can show an alternate URL in it’s place.

Continuing with our product suite Mini-Series from last week, wrapping up the series is our flagship ad unit:
eMiniMalls
What is it? An interactive, (mouse-over the tabs!) product-based ad unit that pays per click (CPC). It features a product description, a list of (up to) three “best deals” from which to purchase, and a search box where your visitors can search for millions of products without taking them away from your page. Go ahead and search for something to try it out :)
Any Special Features? Geo-targeting allows your eMiniMalls to display product listings, deals and promotions from merchants in a visitor’s country and in their currency. Use this geo-targeting preview tool to see this in action.
See that
link in the top right-hand corner of the eMiniMalls ad unit? That is your referral link; when someone clicks that link, signs up for Chitika, and starts using our service, you will receive a bonus 10% of their revenue for 15 months!
This unit will work great for you if you have a product-based website, your site has product reviews or if product-based ads compliment your content.
How do I get it? Current publishers: LOGIN and click the “Get Code” tab.
New users: sign up here.

Related Product Unit (RPU)

What is it? The RPU is a non-intrusive, product-centric text link designed to be most effective at the end of a blog post or product review.
Who should use this? If your website or blog has product reviews or general product discussion. The RPU is designed to be placed at the end of these articles. Using the RPU with other Chitika ad units have been proven to increase user revenue.
Are there any special features? By modifying the CSS of the RPU, you can match it to the exact look and feel of your website. This makes it look less like an ad and brings value to your website providing helpful information & resources about the products you are selling or reviewing.
