Darren Rowse at Problogger has posted some great tips on How to Grow Search Engine Traffic to Your Blog. How does this relate to earning revenue with Chitika?
Chitika|Premium ad units are specifically designed to display when, among other behaviors, your visitors are coming from a search engine; so it only makes sense that you’ll earn good revenue from Premium ad units if you have a good amount of search engine traffic.
Since we already know that search engine traffic is more likely to convert to ad clicks than non-search traffic (see our Google/Digg traffic study here), increasing your search engine traffic will give your Premium ads more exposure and, therefore, increase your revenue.
This winning combination yields a high eCPM for many of our publishers already.

Chitika | Premium targets a portion of your traffic that we consider “Premium” Traffic. For this traffic, we are able to use our behavioral targeting technology to show better-targeted ads, and really increase your eCPM.
How to increase your revenue with Chitika | Premium ad placement:
TIP #1: Place a Chitika | Premium unit near your article titles (directly above or below) like this (click to enlarge):
Publishers who do this have seen HUGE increases in revenue.
When the Chitika | Premium unit does NOT display – you have 2 options:
- By default, the Chitika | Premium unit is set to “collapse” into nothing. This is a great option for people who want a very clean-looking website, because our ads will only show when we know that we can generate great revenue for you.
- The other option is to use our Alternate URL feature to set a different ad to show when Chitika | Premium does not display. This will help you generate the most revenue from that placement on your site.
TIP #2: Add Chitika | Premium units to the rest of your websites! We now have ads for ALL types of content, including finance, health, travel, autos, and MUCH MORE! By adding Chitika | Premium units to all of your websites, you should see a nice increase in your overall advertising revenue.

Chitika users have noticed fantastic things going on in their accounts lately; one example is that our new behavioral targeting technology has resulted in an excellent boost in CTR and eCPM. As a result, we have not only integrated this into our new Premium ad units but now this new technology can be found in all our ad units – eMiniMalls, MPU, RPU, etc. In the past few weeks this new type of targeting has proven to be extremely effective in helping you to earn higher revenues.
Chitika ad units were known in the past to work best on websites that centered around consumer products or were product-related. If you were hesitant to use Chitika on your website because your site didn’t fall into a consumer product category, then there is great news for you. Our new ad unit, Chitika Premium, caters to websites and blogs of all types not just product-related. Instead, it serves content ads related to topics such as travel and finance, to name two examples:
What everyone needs to know about Chitika Premium
Because this ad unit is “behaviorally targeted” it does not display on websites as our other ad units would; only when it can display premium ads specifically to a visitor to your page. All you have to do is paste code on your site to integrate the unit just like any other; however viewing it on your page will not be as simple as “save and refresh”. While there is a preview tool you can use to view how your ad unit will display, this still leaves you with what to display when Premium cannot target your visitors’ interest:
Here are two great revenue-boosting options:
1. Place the Chitika Premium ad code where you currently have no other ad unit on your page(s). So when it does not display, it will simply “collapse” and show nothing at all.
2. (Recommended) Place the ad unit in prime locations on your page, such as near your blog/article titles or within the content of your page with an “alternate URL” ad as a backup, so Chitika Premium can earn you great revenue when displayed and supply your space with another ad when it cannot so you are continuously earning revenue.
Setting an alternate URL for Chitika | Premium is easy. Follow these steps for using an alternate ad such as Google Adsense, in the event your behaviorally targeted Chitika Premium ad unit cannot display.

Since the release of our flagship ad unit eMiniMalls, Chitika has always provided products and services you can use in conjunction with other services. Thats right – we have no restrictions for using Chitika products with any other revenue-earning ad units on your website.
We’ve received many questions from users asking if Chitika | Premium can be used alongside Google Adsense on their pages. Chitika | Premium is not a text-ad; it’s an interactive, image-enabled widget that is non-contextual and behaviorally targeted. Because of this, you should be able to use both ad units on your page together without being in violation.
As was mentioned yesterday, Chitika | Premium is Chitika’s first-ever ad unit suitable for ALL types of content websites. This ad unit is the first of our ad unit suite to provide non-product content ads such as finance, travel, sports, and more!

In addition to the new Chitika | Premium ads being your highest performing ad units (eCPM), they are Chitika’s first-ever ad units suitable for ALL types of content websites.
As previously mentioned, Chitika | Premium ads will only show to your U.S. traffic, and since they are behaviorally targeted they will only display to SOME U.S. users. So how do you preview this ad unit?
You can preview in 3 steps:
1. Paste the code up on your site.
2. In your address bar add #chitikatest=mortgage to the end of your page URL.
3. Press ENTER then Ctrl + R to refresh your page.
This will show you what the ad would look like to a user who is interested in “mortgages.” You can replace “mortgages” with your keywords to view other ads, just make sure you then REPEAT STEP 3.

One month ago we announced the upcoming launch of a new, high-earning ad unit: Chitika | Premium. We are happy to say that this ad unit is now available to start earning you revenue!
What is this? A smart, personalized targeting ad solution that provides premium content. This ad unit is CPC and is designed to be your highest performing ad unit (eCPM).
Who should use this ad unit? Chitika | Premium ads are a great fit for any website with any type of content including finance, travel, sports, etc. If your website gets a lot of U.S. traffic, then Chitika | Premium ads are a perfect match for you.
When will this ad unit display on my site? Chitika | Premium ads will only show to U.S. traffic, and since they are behaviorally targeted they will only display to SOME U.S. users. When your Premium ad unit does display for a visitor it will show them advertisements they are interested in (because, after all, it’s behaviorally targeted).
What happens when Chitika | Premium does not display? The ad simply collapses into nothing. You can show an alternate URL in it’s place.

Continuing with our product suite Mini-Series from last week, wrapping up the series is our flagship ad unit:
eMiniMalls
What is it? An interactive, (mouse-over the tabs!) product-based ad unit that pays per click (CPC). It features a product description, a list of (up to) three “best deals” from which to purchase, and a search box where your visitors can search for millions of products without taking them away from your page. Go ahead and search for something to try it out 
Any Special Features? Geo-targeting allows your eMiniMalls to display product listings, deals and promotions from merchants in a visitor’s country and in their currency. Use this geo-targeting preview tool to see this in action.
See that 
link in the top right-hand corner of the eMiniMalls ad unit? That is your referral link; when someone clicks that link, signs up for Chitika, and starts using our service, you will receive a bonus 10% of their revenue for 15 months!
This unit will work great for you if you have a product-based website, your site has product reviews or if product-based ads compliment your content.
How do I get it? Current publishers: LOGIN and click the “Get Code” tab.
New users: sign up here.
