Chitika VS Google Adsense:
Google AdSense is undoubtedly the best blog monetization PPC network which has been unbeatable in world of online advertising. Now a days, it is hard to get Google AdSense and for that reason, blog and website owners look for any good AdSense alternative. Chitika is one of AdSense alternatives which is loved by several publishers due to easy account approval at the network. At Chitika, you don’t face any big trouble in getting approval, but Chitika can’t be the true AdSense alternative and it is a reality that an AdSense competitor hasn’t born yet in the world of PPC advertising.
I tried Chitika for one of my blogs last year but after a month, I removed their ads. In this review, I will compare the two networks, Chitika and AdSense, and will look over the similarities and differences among the two. I am not going to write a lengthy and boring review, instead I am comparing the two networks in below table where I have compiled a list of most important features for which a publisher looks at the network he is going to join.
Chitika vs AdSense:
Feature | Chitika | AdSense |
|---|---|---|
| CPC | Below Average : +/- $0.3 for Regular and +/-$3 for Premium Publishers | Best (Up to $100 per click) |
| RPM, CPM, eCPM | Below Average | Best |
| Ad Design | Horrible (Ads look spammy) | Attractive |
| Customer Support | Good | Poor |
| Fill Rate | Low | 100% |
| Technology | Basic | Advanced |
| Ad Choices | Limited | Diverse |
| Ad Customization | Limited | Extensive |
| Account Approval | Easy | Hard |
| Advertiser Care | Average | Great |
| Publisher Care | Good | Average |
| Publishers Feel | Okay | Happy |
| Long Term Retain | Easy | Hard |
| Publisher Activity Moderation | Poor | Strict |
So these were the most important features for which I look before joining any PPC network and above was what me and my friends have experienced with Chitika to date. Have you also experienced Chitika? If yes, then don’t forget to share your experience.
I think chitika is only for USA, UK traffic but if we have adsense then we can monetize our all country traffic, that's why I always recommend to Adsense, this is the one of best alternative for blog traffic monetization.
ReplyDeleteI would say that this would be really an inspirational article for all those who’s adsense was repeatedly disapproved. Demotivate and fear of not to success just destroy one’s blogging future as in most of the case it has been seen that after 3-4 months a blog which was active for few days is now in vain and totally inactive resulting in spams and place for the spammers.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, we need to accept the challenges we face in our blogging journey, Adsense too is a part of it when we always don’t get success. Well, for all those who’s adsense is disapproved I would say, keep clam, and keep trying. Try, Try and Try, success will come to you. Thanks for your motivation Tharun and thanks a lot for this wonderful and inspiring article. Have a great weekend.
