Just got my Chitika payment via Paypal for the month of November
Audited revenue=68% of unaudited revenue.

Chitika explains November payments & valid clicks here: chitika.com/blog/?p=33

TJ3 · Jan 12, 2006, 21:48

75% payout here.

OnlineGuide · Jan 12, 2006, 22:19

Lost 38%. Last time I use them. Waste of time and resources.

El Camino · Jan 12, 2006, 22:48

Looking at my stats December (to be payed end of January) is the same eCPM but lower CTR. Time to stop wasting valuable real estate. Maybe Chitika does better on other types of sites. I don't blame Chitika - surfers just aren't clicking. I'm sure Chitika is just as disappointed as the rest of us & are looking for solutions.

TJ3 · Jan 12, 2006, 23:49

Im thinking of giving them another run, I will try it for a week or so.

BLazeD · Jan 13, 2006, 01:12

My revenue has been audited (about a 20% loss), but still no paypal payment...

tolkein · Jan 13, 2006, 02:46

Just got my Nov. payment - lost 42%

eKstreme · Jan 13, 2006, 03:41

Got payment this morning. I lost about 25%. Bye Chitika.

kidbuu · Jan 13, 2006, 03:50

No payment yet, but hope to receive it today. Lost bout 50%-60%.

Kilkenny · Jan 13, 2006, 08:49

Audit for nov, 30 percent, despite having 90 percent U.S traffic (shakes head)

No paypal received yet though.

Martin64 · Jan 13, 2006, 09:21

I'm just happy I received my payment and wasn't kicked out like lots of people. Stopped running them mid-november.

GeorgeB. · Jan 13, 2006, 10:01

Thing is the audits shouldnt be bad anymore because the clicks are supposedly audited real time now.

I never took them down on my blog (forgot). May give them another go since they paid net 45.

TurtleX · Jan 13, 2006, 12:16

I only lost 3 bucks from unaudited to audited. Most of my traffic is from the US. I'm just glad I got paid $$$

WealthStream · Jan 13, 2006, 14:51

Down 10% here. A bit annoying, but evidently not as bad as what a lot of you are dealing with.

Vadim22 · Jan 13, 2006, 15:42

I've been declined by them twice, and now i think: "thanks God!"

neoenvision · Jan 13, 2006, 16:00

good ole $34 i got, lol, well at least it's good for my dinner

tolkein · Jan 13, 2006, 17:16

Just realised they sent the audited reports for both Nov & Dec. While there was a difference of 42% in Nov, the difference was only 13% for Dec - probably due to the daily filtering.

t0x1c · Jan 14, 2006, 04:25

10% down... not the end of the world, but it's a little annoying.

Venix · Jan 15, 2006, 07:27

Now that I have received the first payment I am actually quite happy with the Chitika program. I am looking at an extra 500 -1000$ a month as the ads don't directly compete with my other ads. My experience with this company so far has been pretty good.

And That is Interesting

Can anybody tell how much eCPM can be expected from Chitika typically? Please share your own experience.

detzX · Jun 5, 2008, 18:16

It all depends, it doesn't hurt to try their ads and the new premium ads work really well for US traffic. They pay much better rates for US(obviously) and I've heard rumors of well over $1 for premium stuff.

You mean they pay higher for US traffic? $1 is quite a lot. I'm considering to give them a try on my website. Hope the payout will not put me down.

detzX · Jun 6, 2008, 06:25

Sorry, not $1 cpc but $1 cpm which is usually a lot higher than most places. I'm not sure if they pay different for different countries but I know MOST ad services do because they get paid different for US traffic, US traffic is "great traffic" because they are more opt to convert where if you get some guy from china or india they do nothing for the US retailers.
