Chitika has taken a step of dedication to its affiliates to help them make more money from running Chitika Ads on their Blogs. They have started a 3 Part mini series of tips on how to maximizing revenue from displaying Chitika Ads. So far I have received Part 1 and Part 2 in my Mailbox, Part 1 consist of the Chitika Ad Layouts that attracts the highest payouts per click and how to customize the ads on your blog to increase your CTR.
Tip #1
Premium Size: Mega Unit (4x more clicks and revenue).
Try the Mega unit. It comes in two sizes: 550×250, 500×250. Why? It
delivers 4 times as much clicks and revenue than our traditional Premium ad banners! Who? Publishers like ArticleAlley.com added the new MEGA-Unit and reports that “The result was a massive 721% increase in income – without any noticeable knock on effect to our other income providers.” – Adrian from ArticleAlley.com
Where do you put it? Directly above or below the main content
Tip#2
How to customize your ad units
Customization.
This will vary from site to site, but simply copying and pasting the default ad code in your code panel, while it may be easiest thing to do, it could be highly effecting the CTR of your ads. At the very least, match the title/link color to the other titles and/links on your site. Making it blend with the site like this will directly increase your CTR. You can go as far as selecting a font type. You can even do all of this without logging into your Chitika account and starting over.
