Chitika Select – Chitika’s new Non – Search Targeted Advertisments
I am sure all of us bloggers and webmasters know about Chitika. For those who do not know Chitika, Chitika is an advertising network which shows targeted ads to all your search engine visitors coming from US and Canada. This advertising network provides ad unit called Chitika Premium Ads which is only showed to your site visitors from US and Canada. If the traffic is non-US and non-Seacrh engine then this ad unit remains invisible. This advertising network can be used along side Adsense and has a good revenue generation rate.
The main news that I would like to update my fellow bloggers and friends about Chitika is that they are now slowly trying to spread their share in the non-search advertising segment too.
Chitika have now upgraded all their Chitika Premium ads to Chitika Select. Chitika Select is the recent upgrade to the Advertising module of Chitika. From now on, Chitika will not only display ads for search engine traffic but it will also display ads for some selected non search engine traffic. That is whenever Chitika feels there is a higher chance to receive a click on the ad, then an ad is displayed. This is truely a unique mechanism that Chitika is coming through with.
By default, this is an opt-out system instead of opt-in so all your ads will be using Chitika | Select by default but you can opt out of the Chitika | Select (i.e. both search engine and non search engine traffic targeted ad) and use only Chitika | Premium (only search engine targeted ad). Chitika put this as an opt-out option because of the feedback they had got back from their publishers. 90% of Chitika users wanted non-search engine traffic trageted ads also in Chitika.
Technology Behind Chitika Select
Chitika seems to have done a lot of work and research on the technology they will be using in Chitika Select. As according to them,
We have been conducting HUGE amounts of research over the past 1 year which allows us tremendous amount of insight into how users interact with ads. For example, did you know that IE users are twice as likely to click on an ad as FireFox users? These types of statistical studies are the core of this new predictive technology. This type of analysis is common in other industries such as insurance, credit cards, etc., and now Chitika is bringing that to online advertising. [Note: This new click prediction technology has been running on select publishers on parts of our UK traffic for the last 3 months — the results have been outstanding
They also guarantee highly relevant advertisments somewhat similar to Adsense. This to be seen as time passes by.
This new version of Chitika will also display Image ads like Adsense. You can opt out of the image ads if you want and then only text ads will be displayed in your site. This can be done in your Account Manager. Also you have the option of opting out of Chitika Select and showing only Chitika Premium ads in your site. It completely will depends on you.
You do not need to worry about a ton of ads showing up in your site. Chitika will be implementing select in small number of impressions and gradually increase the impression.
So as a wrap up, I would like to say that this comes as a good news for many people who still do not have their Adsense account approved by Google and for those who want and extra source of income along with adsense.And now seeing this development in Chitika happening, I think in the future if we want we will be able to use Chitika as the sole advertising network for our site.
For those who have not joined Chitika till now you can click here and join. Joining is very easy and free. And if you have been searching for an extra source of income along with adsense then Chitika is the most compatible.

Not sure if Chitika performs well on a Tech (non-gadget) blog. Any idea?

You need good traffic from US.

I tried its search targeted advertisements, but don’t know why it didn’t work for me. Will give this one a try too. Hope it will work for me. Fingers crossed!
The main reason the search targeted advertisements may not have worked is because you have most of your traffic from non – US countries but I am sure slowly they will be putting up more non-US advertisements too
That is a great development and Chitika also give us a chance to opt-out and keep Chitika Premium as usual. However, opt-out is not a smart choice as it always provides a higher pay. Happy earning!

Chitika and Click bank do not come to comparision with each other while Chitika is a Adsense clone, Clickbank is a affiliate network like Commission Junction. And ya it does not need money to sign up

As far as I know, google adsense and chikita can be on the same website and this just means that we can double our profit by having two PPC ads.
never heard of chitika select .
Opps, Chitika select sucks, my earning decreased after this. earlier i got an average of 1$ per day, now its .2 $

I think other webmasters should use this site as an model, very clean and magnificent user-friendly style and design, let alone the content. You’re truly an expert on this topic!
Where does traffic come from? are you affiliated with any sites?
Terrific paintings! That is the type of info that are supposed to be shared across the net. Disgrace on Google for no longer positioning this post higher! Come on over and discuss with my website . Thank you =)
