Chitika Ads are another way to monetize your site but they work only specifically for people who have a lot of American and Canadian search traffic.

Basically, Chitika will only show the adverts on your site to visitors who enter you site via the search engines and also if they started that search from America or Canada. If this describes you, read on.

As a publisher, there are a few types of adverts for your to choose from but the easiest to get you started are the Chitika Premium Ads. This type of advert pays you for every click that is registered on the advert and encourages this with small pictures placed next to the link to make it more appealing (unlike Google Adsense).

There are a number of ad sizes to choose from, so have a look through them and choose whichever one best fits your site. The color of the font and the font type itself can also be customized.

Have a look at my other site, http://thegadgetmonster.com and if you’re viewing the site from America or Canada it should appear.

If it doesn’t appear for some reason or if you’re viewing the site from another country, type this into the address bar instead: http://thegadgetmonster.com#chitikatest=mortgage then press ctrl + f5 to refresh the page. It will show you a preview of what the advert would look like if my site was about ‘mortgages’ or if someone was searching ‘mortgages’ on the plugin.

I’ve only just installed it, but it looks promising as another way to make money online, on top of that I have Adsense placed in strategic positions on that site as well. Gadgets are highly advertised online so I should get some targeted adverts for my viewers to click on.

I’ll let you know how it goes,
