“How could you possibly know unless you ask”

Similar to the Nintendo Wii being 2007′s most-wanted item, according to your poll votes, the Chitika | Linx was this year’s most popular CPC ad unit for our publishers.

Linx is an in-text ad unit that automatically identifies key products/keywords on your page to hyperlink (double underline) to interactive paid (CPC-based) product listings. Linx stole the show this shopping season for 3 reasons:

1. Incremental revenue- Earn more revenue without taking up more space.
2. Keyword driven- You choose the ads so it will be more effective.
3. Linx has the the looks- A makeover for the ad unit and it’s code panel made setup more manageable and Linx more attractive on your pages. Love at first sight? Linx before & after.

Last year our RPU ad unit was a huge success story and continues to be. I wonder what it will be next year, we are always up to something ;)
