Our Chitika | Premium WordPress plugin has made it easy for so many of you to add Chitika | Premium to your blogs, but it is limited in customizations.
Not anymore! As of version 1.3 we’ve made it easy to customize more about the placement appearance of your ads.
You already know you can change the size, colors and placement (above and below) but with just a snippet of code added to your style.css file in your theme you can really make the display your own.
Is your ad too close to the post?
Just add the following lines to your style.css file:
.chitika-adspace { margin: 10px 0;}It will add some visual space, or white space, above and below the ad.
Don’t like the way your ad looks aligned to the left? Why not center it?
Add this line to your style.css
.chitika-adspace { text-align:center; }Do you want your ad to appear to the right of your post?
There’s a couple steps to accomplish this:
Once you’ve done that, just add the following line to your style.css file:
.chitika-adspace.aboveboth, .chitika-adspace.above { float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px; }We also think this option looks cool with a 120 x 600 skyscraper ad (above positioning only) – it’s almost like adding a dedicated sidebar to display ads only to your search traffic!
For those of you who are familiar with style sheets or coding style sheets the plugin now adds the following classes to the divs containing the ads:
chitika-adspace (all ads)above (above only)below (below only)aboveboth (above when both are displayed)belowboth (below when both are displayed)Tell us about your customizations in the comments below!
Another update to your favorite Chitika | Premium WordPress plugin went out earlier today. The new upgrade to version 1.3 is available for download now from the WordPress Plugin Directory:
Three new features in this upgrade are:
In addition to using a customizable channel name you can now also have the Chitika | Premium WordPress plugin add ‘above’, ‘below’, ‘above – both’ and ‘below – both’ to your channel names simply by checking a box.
Why would I want to do that? Now you can change your setting in the plugin and always know in your reports where the plugin placed the ads. You can track your ads performance this way. For Example: if you choose to display Premium ads above and below your posts, your reports can show you which placement was more successful ‘channel name above – both’ or ‘channel name below – both’ letting you decide if you want to continue to display your ads using that configuration or if you’d like to change them up to find your best placement CTR.
Chitika | Premium ads are set to display whenever you full post is displayed. If your homepage or archive pages display more than one full post the Chitika | Premium plugin will display Chitika ads for each post. Some of our users prefer to only show on a permalink page because that’s where most of their search traffic lands and this helps keep their CTR more accurate.
When you first install the Chitika | Premium WordPress plugin a demo username is used in place of your Chitika account username. You’ll need to change that in order to receive credit for your clicks. The built in reminder will let you know if you forget to enter your username. We want you to receive your credit (where credit is due!)
So go on, download the update to the Chitika | Premium WordPress plugin.
