Chitika Ads on Squidoo

Ranked #2,728 in Squidoo Community, #214,392 overall

Chitika - the search engine version of adsense

Chitika is the latest ad revenue program (as I write this) that Squidoo has added to our lenses. It's basically a similar program to Google Adsense except that where Google Adsense focuses on page content, Chitika matches it's results to the keywords a searcher used. It won't be visible to everyone, and has a separate option for opting out, if you don't want it on your lenses.

If you know of an important point, or have experienced an annoying bug, please add them to the plexos! And if you have a question about Chikita, please ask it, and I'll do my best to find the answer and add it to the lens. But generally, these ads are pretty straightforward - it's just one more ad pool to opt in or out of.

Chitika Analysis: Bing Traffic vs. Google and Yahoo! - The Chitika Blog Archive
We at Chitika are quite fond of search engines: since all of our ads serve only to search traffic, they're our bread and butter in the online world. So with Microsoft's new Bing decision engine making so much noise, we thought we'd take a closer look at the clickthrough rates of visitors from the three major search players: Yahoo!, Google, and Bing.

Chitika not Chiquitita!

It's a funny name, but the spelling is important!

As I was putting this lens together I realised that not only did I keep spelling 'Chitika' as 'Chikita' and pronouncing it (in my head) as Chiquitita! (Curse you ABBA for your addictive and catchy tunes!)

I am still learning about this whole Chitika on senses thing. Do I have to configure anything or is it automatic. Do I get paid per click or is it a fixed rate based on how many views my lenses get.
