Turning Page Views Into Profits

Readers that have been following my site for the last 8 weeks (10 – Feb – 28 – Mar) know that I have been experimenting with different Network programs such as Amazon and Auction Ads to try and find the best suitable one to fit the needs of the site. I did not like the format of Amazon and it seemed that Auction Ads was making the site load slow. However I was making money with Auction Ads so later on I may find another use for them from time to time.  Last night when I was reviewing a site that exchanged links with me had this network called Chitika eMiniMalls a beta program that was recently released by them.

So I went to investigate a little further and liked what they had to offer.  The signup for Chitika is really simple just input your personal details and site details of course. When signing up they do have requirements which are they only accept sites with at least 10,000 monthly page views, contain significant, good quality content and are predominantly in English and are well-organized and regularly maintained. Luckily I already meet that requirement and I’ve accomplish that in less than two months, not bad in my opinion.

Chitika (pronounced CHIH-tih-ka), founded in 2003, is the industry’s leading impulse merchandising company. Based in Marlborough, MA, Chitika helps web publishers generate revenue using innovative publisher-side advertising and merchandising solutions and services.

The following day I checked my email I found my email from Chitika welcoming me and stating how excited they are to let me know that I am approved to start using the new eMiniMalls on my site. Chitika a distribution network, currently catering to over 1 Billion monthly pageviews, is made up of  12,000 participating blogs and websites and according to Chitika they are the leading merchandising network.

There are many categories to choose from but the majority are electronics related and there are 17 ad formats available.  Chitika ad units can be used along side Google Adsense and their ad format is really nice compared to other networks I’ve used. You get rewarded for bringing your friends to their network and Chitika eMiniMalls brings a new way of shopping to your website brining in the extra income that gives a nice balance to your overall blog income.

Referral Program. Clients can refer publishers to Chitika’s Paid Merchant Listings Program and earn 10% of the referred client’s earnings, for the first 12 months, for any referred Publisher accepted into the program. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and commission fee accrual, Chitika will provide Clients with special “tagged” link formats to be used in all links between the Client’s Website and Chitika’s Merchant Listings Program application page.

Chitika also offers two other services the Tag Cloud and the Related Products Unit.  If you want to see an example of the tag cloud I put an ad on my wife’s site on the right sidebar Ja Kel Daily Media.  The related products unit has a requirement that unfortunately I do not meet at the moment, which is a Chitika publisher who has made at least $100. OR: Your site or blog must receive at least 50,000 page views per month.
 
Payments are sent out monthly via Paypal when your balance crosses $10 and for checks the minimum balance must be greater than $50.
 
I have intalled my Chitika code directly into my main index template but however they do provide to plugins for Wordpress v2.0 available for download here.

    Well, Chitika is good especially for sites that do and focus on product reviews. :D I can’t use it for my Humor blog though.. How about using something similar to text link ads as well for your blog?

    Yes i bet it a little hard for a humor guess you could sell joke books from Amazon. Yes, text links are good I have it under my featured sites but this blog is to new still. Working on it.

    Now that you got rid of that payperpost.com, you site is a lot more user friendly. I hope your blog makes you some good money. I will visit regularly.

    I use chitika on my site and have been very happy with the results. They pay on time also which is a good thing, they did have a few problems when first starting up but I have nothing but praise for their service now.
