Important Change to Google AdSense Alternate Ads

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Are you using Google AdSense as an alternate ad to display when a Chitika ad cannot display (for example - in non-supported countries, or for non-search traffic, etc.)?  If not, then you do not need to even bother reading this.

However, if you are using AdSense as an alternate ad in a Chitika ad, then you will need to make a quick change to your alternate ad setup.

Google changed the way AdSense is served and it now MUST be on a page with proper HTML coding.

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE YOUR ADSENSE ALTERNATE AD SERVES CORRECTLY:

  1. Open the .HTML file that contains your AdSense code with Notepad or any other text editor.
  2. Place <html><head></head><body> before your AdSense code and </body></html> after the code - for example:

    <html><head></head><body>
    
    <!--ADSENSE CODE GOES HERE -->
    
    </body></html>

This will ensure that your AdSense alternate URL will display properly.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly, leave a comment below, or post in our forums.

 

Announcing the Winners of the AdSense + Chitika | Premium Placement Contest

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Ladies and Gentleman - we have your winners!

After carefully reviewing all submissions (blog comments and email) we have chosen one grand prize winner to receive their choice of:

  • Google/T-Mobile G1 Android phone
  • Blackberry Storm
  • Apple iPhone 3G 8Gb

And 2 runners up to receive $200 each!

GRAND PRIZE WINNER: Donald Yeck of www.DoItYourself.com

The forums at DoItYourself.com are 100% text-based - no graphics at all!  Since Chitika | Premium shows images next to the ads, it provides a nice visual “flare” for his site (and needless to say - the CTR on these ads is quite high!).

Here is what his users will see who come to his website from a search engine:

And here is what his page looks like when a user comes to his page NOT via search engine:

You can see from these shots that the Chitika | Premium units add a nice variety to his layout, which not only is pleasing to his users, but it also puts additional revenue in his pocket.  ;)

The 2 runners up who will receive $200 each are:
www.PurseVillage.com
www.WoodFloorDoctor.com

Congratulations to the 3 winners and thank you to everyone who entered the contest! Subscribe to The Chitika Blog here so that you don’t miss out on your chance to enter & win our next contest.
