March 04, 2009 Silicon India

The professional networking site SiliconIndia has announced 10 Internet companies to 'watch out' for in 2009.

#3. Chitika. It is really interesting to watch the fresh ideas being executed this time around as compared to the first dot com era. The new age companies have not just changed the business rules but also have altered the rules of the world.

March, 2009 Silicon India

"Chitika attributes its success to knowing when, and more importantly - when NOT - to show an ad"

It is common knowledge that the majority of online ad budgets are wasted on mismatched ads that do not convert, and only serve to annoy web users.

Are You Cashing In With Chitika? [Video]

So far so good. It’s a great compliment or alternative to using contextual ad programs like AdSense, Kontera, Infolinks, etc. Here’s a video with an overview of how it works…

How do I get started with Chitika on my site?

I recently made a few little tweaks to how I was including Chitika ad units on this site and suddenly saw my revenue jump 20x. No complaints here about that!

Chitika Mega - Massive Increase in CTR and Revenue

Chitika gives me the option to choose something new and that really works great towards making money online. [They] never stop inventing great ad units that are helpful for publishers too.

May 17, 2009

Chitika has introduced a new ad unit called the MEGA-Unit

And so far they say the MEGA-Unit's CTR is 4 times higher than their other ad units across the Chitika network.

May 16, 2009

The "mega unit" premium ad unit

Chitika (the #2 way that I make money blogging) have come out with a handy new ad unit option for publishers wanting to monetize traffic arriving on their blog from search engines - the 'mega unit' premium ad unit.

May 15, 2009

Chitika has announced a new, large unit

I'm testing out the new format on a couple of blogs that already do fairly well for Chitika advertising.

721% increase in Chitika income!

After replacing our existing Chitika Premium ad with a larger size, updated format and location change, we received a massive 721% increase in income!!

May 11, 2009

Cooler than Chitika eMiniMalls, from the same company itself: Chitika Premium!

Since the Chitika Premium has also a wide range of categories, you can use it in any site and it still works up to its best!

Jensense with Chitika at SESNY

At SES New York, I was one of the guest judges for Chitika’s SearchAppalooza, to find the best new search app for 2009 (and there was also a pretty hysterical Oreo cookie eating contest at the end).  Video of JenSense here.

May 06, 2009

We can conclude from this experiment that size and placement of the adverts are very important to your success with online pay-per-click (PPC) advertising

With some input from Chitika's team, we made a few tweaks to the size and style of the advert... The results? Pretty amazing considering how little effort was involved.

Yahoo! Search at SES & SearchAppalooza

Joining Chitika takes about 2 minutes

but then they advise you that it could be 2-3 working days before a human can check your website to approve you. They actually approved me within about 20 minutes!

Chitika performs very good for all websites. The sites AdSense performs bad for are the sites Chitika performs very good for.

Poor text-content websites for example. Chitika is able to display relevant ads for the visitor by just analyzing the tiny search string which reveals what the visitor was actually looking for!

February 16, 2009

Impressive Chitika - 3 time increase in income over 6 months

Now I am about to complete using Chitika as a Google Adsense Alternative in few of my sites. I must say, I am extremely happy with the Chitika performance.

February 12, 2009

Chitika|Premium is a CPC search-targeted advertising solution brought to you by Chitika.

It can be run on the same page as Google AdSense, or on its own as an AdSense alternative.

January 15, 2009

Chitika Premium is a clever ad programme with clever adverts that only appear to visitors who have come from North America via search engines.

They sit quietly on your blog, and stay invisible unless you receive ne of these visitors. Then the ad unit turns itself and appears however you have designed it inside your blog post. The really clever bit is that the advert is selected based on the keyword that the visitor was searching for.
