Chitika – Ads for the right user, right time and right place? Really?

Gayla — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:20:44 +0000

I signed up for Chitika a few years ago and to be honest, I just hadn’t done anything with it. I didn’t invest time in learning the setup or even exploring the advantages. I just signed up, set up a few referral buttons and let it go.

It wasn’t until I got a notice that I had received a payment from Chitika that I even thought about looking into it further – but hey, if someone is paying me, I’m thinking if I made money for doing absolutely NOTHING, I wonder what I could make with a little effort.

Chitika is an alternative to Google AdSense Contextual Pay-Per-Click Advertising. I run Chitika on a couple of my blogs. It performs best on product related blogs, but can achieve good results on blogs such as this on also.

Here is a snippet from the Chitika Publishers website that contains two stats that show Chitika is a respected Ads Publisher:

Fact 1: Chitika has over 70+ power-packed revenue earning ad units, the largest collection of revenue-generating solutions catering to publishers of all sizes.

Fact 2: More than 17000 bloggers and publishers are already using Chitika’s ads to earn revenue.

Fact 3: Chitika passes over 50,000 publishers in June 2009

One of the greatest advantages to using Chitika is that you can use them on the same page as Google AdSense. This allows you to maximize the earning potential of your blog. Chitika tends to have a higher CPC than Google AdSense in alot of the areas I have used it in.

Since Chitika is still kinda sorta new to me, it will be a short while before I can give you much detail on profits – but I’d say $50 for absolutely NOTHING is something. What I can tell you however, is it is currently outperforming Google AdSense on two of my blogs and I’m only a few days into actually using it.

What you waiting for, You should sign up for Chitika Now!!!

Do share your personal views or experiences with Chitika and how it has performed or is performing for you.

HostGator versus BlueHost

I’ve had a few people email me asking about my hosting preferences. So I thought I’d offer up the same answer here – as the one I’ve been offering in private email exchanges for those who may be questioning the difference.

I use both, and they are nearly identical honestly.

I actually started out using Bluehost with MomGadget.com and that site is still hosted there.

When I began looking at developing a few other blogs, I was introduced to Hostgator by a friend and went with them because of their reseller account which comes in real handy if you have multiple sites you wish to develop or that you may eventually sell. I’ve also used my reseller package to host blogs for friends and family members too – to let them explore their own level of interest in blogging.

Aside from the fact that you can host multiple sites, you’re not gaining one thing from the next, and the pricing itself is almost the same.

Disclosure: I do receive a small commission if you sign up through my links for both Hostgator and Bluehost.
