Chitika Inc. (pronounced
CHIH-tih-ka) is a search-targeted advertising company. It is located in
Westborough, Massachusetts, USA. The name Chitika means "in a snap" in Telugu language.Primarily Chitika is a non-contextual advertising
company. In contextual advertising, the publisher script filters
the website for keywords and returns advertisements based on those
keywords. It can be use with Google Adsense, that’s great for your website.Overview:
Chitika is
very good for many websites where Adsense results are poor. For example,
Chitika can show relevant ads for a site with very few text and lot of
video content. Likewise, local sites especially do well with Chitika ads than Adsense.
This is because Chitika scans the search strings that they used to reach the
website.
How Much Will You Earn with Chitika?
The
potential earnings with Chitika may vary based on several factors:
- Which advertisers appear on your site: Chitika’s technology is designed to serve each individual user with the most relevant and engaging ad based on each impression. The rates advertisers pay for a given ad, which directly impacts that ad’s CPM, increases or decreases depending on the ad topic (keyword), and competition within that industry for online ad exposure. For example, finance-related ads typically demonstrate higher CPMs compared to those for consumer packaged goods, as seen in the most recent edition of their Ad Monetization Matrix.
- Geographic location of your website traffic: While Chitika serves ads worldwide, advertisers generally pay more for U.S. and Canadian Web traffic, which correspondingly increases the publisher payout on those impressions. Beyond that, users browsing from English-speaking nations will also yield higher CPMs than traffic from non-English speaking countries.
- The Chitika ad types you use, and where you place them on your site: Chitika has a variety of ad unit types that vary in size and user experience. The placement and size of the ad unit typically impacts earnings. Publishers who choose to combine certain Chitika ad types, like the Chitika Hover app, with search-targeted ads, often see an increase in earnings.
