Chitika Audited Revenue

[clkweb]

My audited revenue + audited referral revenue is only abount 10% of my unaudited data so I lost about 90% of the amount. This is really bad. I even use PPC to advertise Chitika last October. I will NOT be using Chitika again. Time to clear all their ads and bring all adsense back.

How's your experience so far?

That is REALLY bad! I lost about 14% in the audit, which means I kept 86%.

It just seems to me like the Chitika folks are commiting PR suicide.

First of all, they're not very forthcoming with info.

Secondly, they do away with "curiosity clicks" (without taking the time to explain what that means).

Now, they are taking more money away from publishers with audits?

Seems like everything I hear about them is bad.

Very disappointing. I've moved back to CPA ads instead of Chitika. I hate to do it...but I need to hear some legit good news about them before I'm going to invest more time.

Dr Adsense,

I have purchased one of your chitika secrets and I have respected your repuation.

For near 50 days, I have spend near 130 hours to place chitika into my website which are highly specialize. (for example, about dog will be about dog issue.. that's where chitika will put display on it). I have all website are well designed, well develping.. not like too many flashing ads, etc.

So far, near all sites has failed me. For example.. $150 for 2 month worth of unaduits.. and I'm getting ZERO for audit renenue. I think Chuck Brown is right about that.

I also failed myself to understand why your site, adsensechat is FORUM !!!! and chitika is very aware of your site and I think they woudn't dare to pay you much lower lower lower LOWER aduit renevnue. ipod ads, other digital camera is not EVEN related to your website. My opinon is that, chitita company wanted to keep their image good by paying more $$$ to you so that you can continue promotion chitikasecrets. I am sure that there are HIGH % of people are curioustly on your website! There are not many people knew about adsense very well as ours. I myself, do not click one of your chitika ads. I'm sure that another people would do the same thing.

I'm very sorry if I started to speak up like this.. and I don't wanted to see another people continue feels remorse by accepted fact that you get higher% of audit renenvue and they think they should buy and do the same thing?

I am sure that I'm not only one of like this situation.

I am aware of that I might be wrong about it.. but doesn't matter, i have lot of website and I think receveing zero aduit revenue is ABSOUTLEY no execuse for that.

I hereby to vote chitkia eminimalls out of my websites. Unless their policy has to change quickly.

I am sure that I'm not only one of like this situation.

I can't remember the exact percentage, but it's well over half that got slashed when they audited clicks. Once I've got a payment out of them I'll dump the ads.

Shame really - I liked the cool looking ads, and got OK clicks from them as a very minor earner.
