How much I earned from Chitika so far?

Trying to find other method to monetize my blogs, I stumbled Chitika. The program looks promising so I give it a shot.  After 35 days of running the Chitika Premium Ads, I checked the stats and this is what I earned from them -  $301.50.

September 19-October 22 Chitika Earning Report:

The above earning is from Chitika Premium wherein I earn from the clicks generated from US & Canada visitors coming from search engines.  They pay via paypal or by cheque by the way.

Here is what they say about the payout:

Chitika will pay you 30 days following the end of the month that your commissions are earned provided that your total revenue has exceeded $10 (for PayPal) and $50 (for check where PayPal is not available)

Here is how the Chitika Premium will look like.

Chitika is another option if you want to monetize your blogs, they also offer referral program where you could earn 10% of the referred publisher earning for 15 months.  In case you are asking, the 10% will not be deducted from the publisher’s earning but from Chitika’s revenue share.  Aside from that you’ll also receive a $25 referral for every $100 ad spent of advertiser you referred to them.

As per my referral earning.  The report shows that I’ve earned a whoooping $1.88 from 2 publishers :) . Not big but I will not neglect it because even if it earns cents every day, in the end it will add up.  Anyways, I hope that my referral earning will increase next month.

If you are looking for another PPC program to monetize your blog / site, then I suggest you check Chitika.  You might also want to read what other publisher is saying to Chitika, read their success story here.

    Grabe naman. Yung chitika ko halos di umaabot 1dollar a day. Your site must be super in terms of SE traffic to be able to pull this off.

    Hi Dennis,

    Big chunk of my traffic came from SE from US/CA.
    I see you running chitika premium and it is positioned strategically below the post title.. try to modify the chitika premium color combination & let us know the result ;)

    If adsense is doing well in your site, then chitika will also works well.. for your site having more than 2K visitor per day – your chitika earning should be higher than $1 a day..

    HI zalds,

    well, sometimes the figures go up and sometimes they go down. adsense is pretty stable but chitika is kinda hard to tame. thats why im quite impressed with ur earnings..

    @ Dennis
    Yup.. Google Adsense is still the giant out there in terms of PPC earning.. maliit ang chitika earning compare sa adsense but it stills add pag total ang online earning at the end of the month..

    i hope na makuha mo na ang kiliti ni chitika premium.. :)

    Wow ang laki earnings mo sa chikita. Tinigil ko na yung chikita ko kasi walang earnings. Kung meron man napakaliit.

    @Lito,

    Welcome sa zalds
    Ang focus ng chitika premium is sa search engine traffic from US, AUS,CAN.. so pag mababa ang search engine traffic sa mga allowed country mababa rin ang chitika earning..

    I am new to this blogging arena, I am impressed with your stats. All I said was wow as I browse from pages to pages. I applied to Chitika 3 days ago, good to see this post, it inspires me. I wonder how much traffic you receive in Canada and US and coming from the search engine with that $301.50 income.

    @RTF,

    US/Canada traffic hovering between 70-80%, and 90% of it came from Search Engine (google, msn, yahoo etc)

    Chitika is amazing. The Chitika | Premium (or eMiniMalls) look very cool. They just make you want to click and check it out haha.

    I’ve also come know the Chitika representative on Twitter. He’s very nice and open. I really like this company and I plan to stick with it for good :)

    Di ba sa Chitika, you won’t earn from clicks unless the visitor came from US?

    @Millionaire,

    Most of their adversiter are from US/Ca.. Chitika ads will not show in countries not supported by their ad platform.
