Earn Money Resources

Another way I earn money from sites is by using Chitika eMiniMalls. Chitika have been around for a while and I joined them pretty much at the start.

Chitika is a CPC based network that offers a whole range of different shopping based advertisements. They also offer in-text ads.

Many of their ad formats provide a good alternative to the standard banner ads. Their ad units are contextual, so products related to the content of your site are shown.

The profitability of Chitika is very much dependent on the types of people that visit your site. Chitika ads offer items for sale in online shops, and therefore they are only likely to be clicked by people with money to spend, and who are comfortable shopping online.

Publishers getting search engine traffic are benefiting from Chitika’s newest product. Advertisers are extending their SEM campaigns beyond Google and Yahoo to benefit from this new traffic source — yielding high conversions and increased targeted traffic.Chitika calls this ” Search Behavior Marketing

Chitika Premium and Google Adsense.

Can I use Chitika and Google Adsense on the same page ? The answer is definitely: Yes. But dont take our word for it. 20,000+ publishers are using Chitika along with Google (and of course — for further confirmation, you can always contact your Google rep).

So why would you want to use Chitika | Premium and Google Adsense on the same page anyway ?

1. Increased Revenue
Google Adsense + Chitika is a lot more than Google Adsense alone. The incremental revenue from Chitika and the diversification of revenue is a huge bonus.

2. User Experience
The Chitika ads do look a lot different from Google and are super-targeted to the exact keywords that the user is looking for. Users love targeted ads.

3. Flexible Integration
If they don’t have a super-targeted ad to show, they don’t show anything. Yeah — they collapse and the ad disappears. This allows creative integration on your pages (like between content). This is not something you can do with Google (which always shows up).

Chitika Premium For Publishers: How It Works

Search engine traffic is the lifeblood of most web publishers. When a user comes from a search engine to your site, Chitika | Premium targets the ad to the exact keywords that were typed by the user. The ad is super targeted and the user is much more likely to click on it (this has been confirmed by our high CTR — which beats all other ad units, including Google AdSense, about 99% of the time). If a user comes directly to your site (like your regular readers), the ad collapses and does not show up. This way you are not bothering your regular readers (who are unlikely to click anyway).

1. New Traffic Source
With the Chitika Network, on a PPC basis, you get to target the same users you are targeting with your Google Adwords campaigns. These users have typed your keywords in the major engines and will then see your message as they hit the sites in the Chitika network.

2. High Conversions
Your campaign is targeted to the exact keywords being typed by the users in the search engines. This represents “high intent” and consequently high conversions and ROI.

3. Scale
The Chitika network is currently serving over 400M+ sponsored ads per month (and growing at around 25% month-over-month).
