It is with no doubt that Chitika Online Advertising network
is the next widely used after Google Adense. One reason been that,
unlike Google Adsense which can terminate your account any time
without a valid reason, Chitika rarely ban user's account but that does
not mean you should incur invalid clicks. No ads network will allow that
and any invalid clicks would led to your account getting banned.
Most bloggers get discouraged while using Chitika ads due to the lower CPC rate compared to Google Adsense. Chitika ads are also meant to show to visitors coming from search engine from specific demographic region (countries). This makes it even harder to make money from Chitika unless you have a considerable amount of traffic coming from those regions.

But despite this, there a few things
that I will be discussing in this post which can help you in improving
your Chitika earnings.
1. Creating Chitika Channel
2. Ads Placement
3. Customization
Chitika Channels
Chitika Channels allows you to know
which ads in your blog are performing better than others. If you have
placed ads in different places, let say one of your ad is placed in
between your posts and the other one on side bar, you will be able to
know which one among the two is converting better or which one has
an increase in the number of clicks.
Creating channels is very easy;
Creating channels is very easy;

- Fill in your channel name on the channel field
- Click on Get Code
- Copy and paste the code in your blog whenever your want your ad to appear.
Placement
In this blog, I have been testing
Chitika ads placement for sometimes but so far, what seems to be working
best for me is when I have placed them just below the post titles. I
have noticed an increase in the number of clicks unlike in the past when
I placed the ads above the post title.
Customization
Customization of Chitika ads involve
two things; matching the color of the the ads text and links with your
blog color and customization of Chitika ads code. I won't
deal much on customizing of Chitika ads links since I know anyone can
be able to do this. I will focus on customizing of the code by
targeting a specific list of products.
So, what is the purpose of doing all this? By customizing your code, you will be making sure that what will be displayed is only what you have listed in the list of your products. You will simply be targeting a range of different products. Everytime a user clicks on any page or a link in your blog, any of the listed item will be randomly selected and sent as query parameter and then be displayed as the ad.

Here is sample of my original code from Chitika;
ch_client = "Your Chitika Username";
ch_width = 468;
ch_height = 180;
ch_type = "mpu";
ch_sid = "Your Chitika Channel Name";
ch_color_site_link = "549CCC";
ch_color_title = "549CCC";
ch_color_border = "FFFFFF";
ch_color_text = "000000";
ch_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
This is how the ads looks like using the above code;
Here is the customized code that I made using the same code but targeting a specific list of products;
ch_client = "Your Chitika Username";
ch_width = 468;
ch_height = 180;
ch_type = "mpu";
ch_color_site_link = "549CCC";
ch_color_title = "549CCC";
ch_color_border = "FFFFFF";
ch_color_text = "000000";
ch_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
ch_sid = "Your Chitika Channel Name";
var
ch_queries = new Array('laptop', 'web hosting', 'weegy', 'media tools',
'online brokers', 'iphone', 'electronics', 'computer', 'Motorola
proton'); //list of products
var ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length)); //chose a random onefrom list
ch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected]; //submit the random choice
//-->
Here is how my ads looks like after customization;
From the above Chitika ads display, you can clearly see that the ads displayed text is the "computer" which is an item in my list of products. This can help in increasing your daily earnings especially if you are able to understand your target audience well. By including in your list of products the items or products that your audience are more likely to buy, there is increased possibility that your users will click on your ads.
