Most webmasters and bloggers make money online by placing ‘targeted’ ads on their sites. The most common ads provider used is Google Adsense. Google Adsense displays ads relevant to the contents of posts/articles.
Those who generate traffic mainly from the search engines can earn more when visitors click on these ads which are matched with the search keywords they typed in search forms.
While Google Adsense is still one of the more reliable sources of website revenue, there are other programs that also offer similar opportunity, and one of those is Chitika | Premium.
Just like Google Adsense, Chitika | Premium is a CPC-based advertising program, which means you earn when somebody clicks the ads on your site. However, Chitika | Premium ads are only served to US and Canadian visitors.
Visitors of other countries will not see the ads, making your site neat and free from empty ad boxes. There are several ad sizes you can choose, and there’s even a plugin for WordPress blog users.
This snippet from Chitika | Premium says…
Chitika | Premium helps you make money by serving highly targeted, AdSense-compliant ads to your search engine traffic. Anyone who comes to your site via Google, Yahoo!, etc., will receive an unobtrusive text ad based on the keyword they used to find you.
The Chitika | Premium Referral Program
Chitika pays you 10% of what your referral earns for 15 months from the time your referral was approved into the Chitika program.
The Payout
Chitika will pay you 30 days following the end of the month that your commissions are earned provided that your total revenue has exceeded $10 (for PayPal) and $50 (for check where PayPal is not available).
Over-all Assesment
If you have a good traffic from US and Canada visitors, you’ll earn big with Chitika | Premium. If you do SEO on your posts and draw traffic from the places mentioned, putting a Chitika | Premium ads on your site/blog can increase your revenue than just relying on Google Adsense alone.
My Chitika | Premium performance in terms of average cost per click and eCPM is comparable and at times even higher than Google Adsense.

I use chitika on my sites (minimal placements though). I Receieved series of payments.. The only problem is that, ads are catered on US and Canada searches only..
Hi Jolly! How u doin dude? Hehe, I bet you’re earning well with Chitika since your traffic are mostly from the US and Canada. Thanks for dropping by.
Although I’v heard of Chitika long ago, I never tried it. I recently removed my infolinks because it earns very very little and sometimes, it changes the font making the appearance annoying to my readers.
I will try it now with your advice.
Chitika is also doing well for me – well, Infolinks revenue are not as big as adsense but they somehow provide additional revenue. So far, I don’t have any problems with how it is displayed…
I haven’t tried Chitika yet, hmmm let me see as I have just placed Infolinks in my webby and so far, I am so happy with the outcome.
Good for you Snow, Tyrone’s not so lucky with Infolinks eh. Hehe. But try Chitika, esp that you also have a good number of US and Canada visitors.
Rest assured that I will Chitika after my experiment with Infolinks bro. But so far, I’m earning well…
I have just applied for an account with Chitika using the link provided in your post. Once approved, I’ll try it. Thanks!
Wow pare! hehehe, thanks Jay! Good luck!
Experimented with it and it looks very promising! I have just started to implement on other locations on my blog, I guess you will also know the results come month end… hehehe!
Maybe it depends on the type of blog or website. Too bad for me I really did not earn much on Chitika. Good luck on your venture.
Some of my friends have been using Chitika to earn online. Only a few of them really earned and had a pay-out, while most of them never succeeded.
I have this also in my blog. Luckily, I am now getting visitors from Canada and the US wherein their ads are served.
It’s nice to know that there are a lot of Filipinos on the blogging scene. My vision is for the Pinoy bloggers to dominate the internet marketing scene. I know we can achieve that if we help each other out.
ow! i got $7 dollars in my account. and that’s for a year. i’ll try putting it in my sports blog as that one has better traffic from US and canada. i almost forgot about it.
As you described Chitika premium ads seems good alternative and one of best options for google adsense….
Hi kuya? mzta na po? papalapit na bakasyon ko..hehhe.. saying good bye to the corporate world..
My vision is for the Pinoy bloggers to dominate the internet marketing scene. I know we can achieve that too !!!
hy nice blog
…………
so far, i am a google adsense fan and have not placed any other advertising system on my blog.
unfortunately i have a low turnout of visitor from u.s. and canada, mostly philippines.
I think you should optimize your blog bro. I also have chitika installed on my site. But only US and Canada visitor will see them if they searched through Search engine.
Made a few bucks already! I think you should try it out.
