Alternatives to AdSense: Chitika

Its hard to find a blog out there that doesn't use Google's AdSense as a part of their monetization strategy. But there's much more out there than just AdSense and if you're not testing other advertising options then its likely that you're leaving money on the table.

One other ad network that I've had some great success with on other sites that I run is Chitika. I use Chitika's Premium Ads which are targeted to your search traffic coming into your blog. By working this way Chitika Premium ads are in compliance with Google AdSense's terms and conditions and can be used on the same page as AdSense. You also have the option of showing untargeted ads to visitors that didn't come from a search engine, for example the ad below, if you came from a search engine, will be targeted to whatever you searched. And then if you didn't arrive here via search then it will just show a random advertisement. When you sign up you'll get the choice of whether you want to show the random ad or would rather insert blank space instead.



So that's the basics on Chitika, its totally free to setup and definitely worth a try on your blog. Click here to sign-up.
