Chitika – A Good Way To Make Money With Your Blog?
I recently got an email from the folks at Chitika which informed me that I could make referral commissions on anybody I refer to Chitika for a full 15 months. They even provided me a shortcut link to send my referral link out to Twitter. But, is Chitika really any good?
I have been using Chitika for some time over on PCMech.com. I do not put very much into the program and it has been very much one of my minority income streams. But, even without putting much into it, I have been making a couple hundred dollars per month with it. It might not be much, but considering how little “face time” it gets with my readers, I’m not complaining. And surely, if I took the time to optimize it, I could probably increase my monthly income fairly easily through Chitika.
If you’re not familiar, Chitika is a company which delivers search-targeted ads. The ads are completely compatible with Google Adsense and does not compete, so you don’t have to worry about running Chitika and Adsense on the same pages. Whenever a user clicks into your site via a search engine, Chitika will deliver that user a targeted ad block based on the keywords used to find your website. So, it is super-well targeted. And as of just a few days ago, they are no longer auditing traffic using these types of ads. The auditing process has been a source of frustration for publishers because it usually means your actual monthly income ends up being less than what your stats showed.
This is the kind of ad I am running on PCMech, which means the ads are only visible when the site is entered from a search engine. If you go directly to the site or click in from another site, you will see no ad from Chitika.
These ads have been working extremely well for Chitika, so much so that it appears as if they are now making this ad type their priority. When you log in as a publisher, this is the kind of ad you will see first. Only when you click the link for other ad types will you see the other options, including Lynx (contextual ads ala Kontera), whitespace ads (which use your site’s white space on larger screen resolutions), the eMiniMall and the Multiple Product Unit (or MPU). Those last two are PPC ads which lead primarily to products.
The other ad types they’ve offered have been pretty disappointing in the past and this is the primary reason Chitika hasn’t gotten much play on PCMech.com. The ads they’ve given were poorly targeted and generated very little revenue. So, I’m not surprised at all that their Premium search-targeted ads are working so well. They alleviate the problem of poor targeting. With the new ad types, my CTR climbed dramatically and my income climbed to the point that it is.
Chitika works best when (1) you have a lot of incoming traffic from search engines, and/or (2) you have a product oriented website which people come to when looking for particular kinds of products (i.e. a review site). Additionally, you can make money by referring people to Chitika. That won’t work for everybody, but for some it can.
So, if you’re running a site and want to try making some extra month with it, I would recommend Chitika. I’m still not making enough from Chitika to justify replacing any of my other ad sources with Chitika, but specifically targeting my search traffic makes a lot of sense and it does provide a little boost to my income. If you run a review site, you could probably make a killing with Chitika. As anybody in this business will tell you, you want a bunch of different income streams and, for me, Chitika is one of them.

How to get free money from AlertPay and buy referralsforPTCprograms
Do you use PTC sites? For most of them you must have Alerpay account to receive your payment. You can earn more then $100 in a month with PTC sites, but how?
I will present a very interesting tip which I found lately in blogosphere. Implementation of this tip will be only the step closer to your success. As internet marketer and blogger I know that without investment is not possible to earn a big amount of money from PTC programs, by clicking 60-70 ads daily. You will lose a lot of time and nerves, but amount of money will be still small.
But, if you want to earn a pretty big sum of money from PTC programs, you must have referrals.
There is two ways to achieve that. The first way is to ask your friends, co-bloggers and visitors of your site to sign up as your referral. This is practical way, but you will spend time to achieve the goal of minimum 20 active referrals (active means that they must click on the ads each day). Another way for find referrals is to purchase some referrals from respective sites, but the problem arises when you haven’t money in your paypal or Alertpay account to purchase.
Now, most of the PTC sites shifting towards Alertpay payment processor. They accept payments for referral purchases or upgrade the membership from Alertpay and vice versa. Here is a opportunity to accumulate some money in Alertpay for free. Alertpay is giving $10 for just referring friends or known persons. When some one registers the Alertpay using your referral link they will credit your account with $10. That’s it, if you refer just three persons to Alertpay, you can purchase about 35 referrals from any site by using these $30 and these 35 referrals will earn for you about or more then $100 in a month (35 x 10= $3.5/day and 3.5 x 30= $105.0 in a month)
This is not just a mathematical calculation but thousands of people are earning thousands of dollars by investing small amount in initial stages and once they gain momentum they reinvest continuously some portion of their earnings. for example suppose in the first month you earned $100 and reinvest another 30 to 35$ for purchasing another set of 35 referrals and this time you will earn around $150 to $180 in a month, little reduction because of there may be some members stop clicking. If you have already account with Alertpay then start promoting your referral link to accumulate 30 to $40 in your account, and, if you haven’t yet, then open your account today. After completion of registration process you will get your referral link in your account page and give this referral link to your friends and start work right now.
