Content Ads Guide

Chitika ads are not for products only anymore. In addition to the new Chitika | Premium ads being your highest performing ad units (eCPM), they are Chitika’s first-ever ad units suitable for ALL types of content websites.

As previously mentioned by Chitika, Premium ads will only show to your U.S. traffic, and since they are behaviorally targeted they will only display to SOME U.S. users.

Do you have parked domains that are earning you little or no revenue? Now you can use Chitika’s updated ShopLinc product as a CPC revenue source for your parked domains. Chitika’s parked domain solution looks like a great shopping site with product images with a listing of well known merchants and an easy-to-navigate category listing.

Please take a look at it chitika.com

What cool about Chitika For Domains is manly:

1. $$$ Get paid on the first click! Other solutions typically show text listings of products or services which usually pay after a 2 or more click through from the visitor.

2. Kick-ass look and feel! This has a different and refreshing look and feel featuring a variety of products, offers and promotions, as opposed to regular “vanilla” dead-end pages with many boring links. You can choose the look of the shop and apply for categories or keywords.
