Chitika eMiniMall:Another alternative ads
Banners,text link and contextual ads. Is there any other ad format than that? I want something new. 3 weeks ago while i was surfing to find a good RSS program i found rsscache.com. From the site, it stated that i can generate revenue from my RSS. So i gave a shot and i see the ads by chitika under the example ad. Chitika?Never heard of it. So i just open another tab in my browser to know the further details. Thats when i saw the eMiniMalls ad program. I signed up and after that i’m not happy with it.
Why??
First,i tried to make the eMiniMalls to suit my color but it was weird. It always stick to the default color. Its so not match to my blog color which is greenish. Then, i surfed to other my favourite blogs to see if any one them using this new program but i was so surprised there was no one. So i think this program is a crap. I shouldn’t use it and wait for other blog’s result (quite regret it, suppose i just try it and review about it earlier to readers). But luckily it came cross my mind to test it to my IT Savvy Blog to see this ad performance. I just let the ads running without checking it until yesterday. I was quite surprised. See the picture below. (click to enlarge)
It just show one if my clicks revenue. 1 click=$1.26. Its not bad. After looking at this good news, i straight away surf all my favourite blogs (i’m so busy lately as i’m going to resign as System Analyst in EPSON within 2 weeks to be an Executive in another company). I was surprised again. They all now use it. Now i cannot call it a crap program as it has gave me something. I can say the pay per click is quite higher than google. Ok, i cannot say like all you that reading this post is a pro. I’m sure a lot of newbies are reading too. I will brief about Chitika eMiniMalls now.
