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.
Conclusion: Although Chitika can’t compete AdSense, it doesn’t mean that it is the worst PPC network of the market. It pays good than several other networks. If you are facing difficulties in getting an AdSense account, you can give Chitika a try as something is better than nothing
