Chitika Premium Upgraded to Chitika Select
Posted by Mert Erkal on Mar 4, 2010 in Make Money with Blogs | 9 commentsBack in Nov 2009 I posted Chitika + Adsense Ad Placement Guide. Chitika is still my 2nd largest make money online revenue stream. Since Nov 2009 my Chitika income increased significantly in parallel to the increase in the number of referrals and blog posts. The best is yet to come. Today I would like to share a very good news about Chitika. I am very excited to let you know that Chitika is expanding their ad display to show to more than just your search traffic! What this means to you? Your Chitika ads will now show to some of your non-search traffic so you can generate more revenue. Great, isn’t it?
The new ads are called Chitika Select. Using their click-prediction technology, Chitika will display Select ads on your blog when there is a higher chance the ad will be clicked.
How will this affect your revenue/stats?
Whenever Select ads are displayed on your blog it will result in more impressions to your Chitika ads automatically. The more impressions to your Chitika ads, the higher revenue. Chitika estimates Select ads could give bloggers a 5 – 10% revenue increase on top of Premium alone. Not so bad, huh?
The good thing is, you do not have to make any changes to your Chitka ads; this will happen automatically starting Monday, March 8th, 2010. Excellent news!
You might have some questions about the new ads. Bearing this in mind, I copied FAQ section from the official announcement for your easy guidance:
Can I Still Use Chitika | Select With Google AdSense?
Yes! Just like the Chitika | Premium ads you can use the new Chitika | Select ads and AdSense together on the same page.
How Can I Upgrade My Chitika | Premium Ads?
You don’t need to, it will happen automatically Monday, March 8th 2010.
Are Chitika | Select Ads PPC (Pay-Per-Click)?
Chitika | Select will always show the highest-paying ads possible. This will include PPC ads as well as CPM image/banner ads (which pay per impression, whether a user clicks or not).
Will Chitika | Select Ads look different than Chitika | Premium?
Sometimes. Similar to how Google shows image/banner ads if they determine that it is the highest paying ad for a certain user visiting the site, we will do the same. Some of your users will see ads with the Chitika | Premium format and others will see ads that look different but will pay more.
thats great news an added innovation for there feature, thats really neat.. i wish they keep on making new innovations and making there service better.
It is a wonderful article, I like it, Thank you very much!
Chitika Eminimals burst on the scene with great buzz. Many webmasters have reported EARLY success, but changes in the program, and its beta status have taken some of the lustre off the program.
I have an email from Chitika that I haven't even opened yet in my inbox from Mar. 31st. It's probably talking about the new Premium format. See what we miss when we don't read our mail? lol Thanks Mert, I'll look into it.
The new ads of Chitika are surprising. That's good.
GREAT article
Chitika has its own reputation on the web. No doubt, both publishers and avertisers are surely going to earn a fortune.
I have used Chitika before, but didn’t know too much about it. Thanks for the info.
