Big changes at Chitika

Chitika make some bad changes.
At mine,from 2000 impressions/ day , now I have max 15 impressions/ day. I don't know why.....

Someone with same problem?

Other good alternative for Chitika and Adsense?

Regards,
Floryn

 

Same here. Went from 3000 average a day to 70 then 32. Lost impressions to three of my sites. Checked my approved list and my #1 site was missing. So I reentered it and it showed back up. They are having major problems with the upgrade(downgrade) they put in on the 28th. 90% of my traffic to the three sites is search engine and 98% is US and CA. This @#$%^&*()(*&^%$!

 

use for clicksor,... that work for me before google banned my site as site report attack,...

hope you fine

 

Clicksor was where I was before Chitika. Clicksor fell from .15-.20 per click to .01-.04 so I switched to Chitika and LINX was producing very well for me then they changed that and now this.......

 

Try something like bidvertiser etc.

 

You should receive email from Chitka with following content:

So far I hearing only decrease in impressions and revenue, but it is logical, as people whom got increase will not complain about it.
May be it is related to YPN service discontinued. YPN in their email advised people to switch to Chitika. In such case Chitika received many publishers. If that the case, the proportion of advertisers vs publishers went down and it will negatively impact publishers revenues. It will also explain their recent technical difficulties, reporting delays and "Problem in Database Connection" as shown now, when trying to access affiliate admin.

So, I'm also now looking of other alternatives.

 

Yes i also received this email. They used to pay minimum $0.11 per click, but now, they really suck. My blog gets around 2700UV and my earning these day is around $2-$4, and i get 75% US traffic. They are ruining their position of being the second favorite after Adsense. They have stopped concentrating on CPM rather than CPC. Chitika select ruined all.
I already removed their ads i am using CPM ad network now, i am getting around $1.98 eCPM, n its beter than them.

 

Once again a form response to my support ticket!

"Hello,

Sorry that you are seeing a drop in impressions/revenue. As we continue to optimize our ads to get the best yield (eCPM) for both publishers and advertisiers, you may notice some fluctuations in how many impressions you see in your Chitika reports. Some publishers can expect to see an increase in impressions, and some will notice a decrease.

Why would I see an increase or decrease in my reported Chitika impressions?
Chitika ads do their best to optimize the yield (eCPM) for both publishers AND advertisers. This means that if the advertisers want more impressions/clicks from your domain, we will be able to serve more ads to you. However, if the advertiser does not want the traffic that they are receiving from your domains, then you will see less impressions because we will serve fewer ads.

If you are seeing an increase in impressions:

* We are doing our best to serve you as many ads as possible at the optimal eCPM. We hope that we are doing a good job - please let us know what you think by submitting some feedback!


If you are seeing a decrease in impressions:

* Right now, our advertisers are only interested in a portion of the traffic from your domains. However, as we continue to optimize and bring on new advertisers, this will change and we should be able to gradually serve more ads to you. In the meantime, when our ads do show, you should continue to see a strong yield (eCPM).

Do let me know if you have any additional questions.

My ticket stated that Chitika ads WERE displaying on three of my sites but NOT showing impressions counts for those ads. There's one thing to have a decrease in impressions but that's not what is occurring. Ads ARE showing but NOT being counted.

 

I got this message on April 30.
