Introducing the CLU: 32% Higher CTR

Hi Masrul, We want to announce our newest, best-performing ad unit - the Chitika List Unit (CLU).  We are excited to be able to give you another way to increase your Chitika earnings from a new unit that has proven to directly increase your CTR. What is the Chitika List Unit (CLU)? The CLU looks just like our regular Chitika text ad units, except with the ability to expand & display up to 9 ads in the unit. Here is an example of the CLU on a website:   The More Ads In One Unit, The Higher The CTR   Why should I use the CLU? 1.  CTR Increase = More Money for You!  Initial tests have proven that the more ads within an ad unit, the higher the revenue for you from the unit.  (See graph below). 2.  Great User-Experience.  The CLU will expand and contract to however many ads are supported for a query within our ad inventory.  In other words, if we cannot supply 9 ads for a particular query, the ad will automatically adjust its height, ensuring no ugly white-space.  How do I get the CLU? Click here to login & get your code.  Where should I place the CLU on my website? This unit is designed to go directly below your content, or mixed in/bottom of a list (directory page, etc). Login Here to get your Chitika List Unit.

Let me Re-Phrase: Mobile Is Not Web

1.9 billion people on the web - and 4.6 billion on mobile phones. Mobile is here to stay, and you can't treat it like the rest of the web.  The power of the click is replaced by one-touch phone calls, and the right Ad means everything. 

Initial results of the mobile ads on the Chitika network have seen a 76% jump in user engagement. Across the Chitika network, mobile traffic grew 500% over the past year. Stay tuned for updates on the rollout of the mobile ads. 

 

New to LAX: Map-Enabled Local Ads

Chitika's Local Ad Exchange (LAX) now features local ads with embedded maps.  Local is now even more local, and users will be able to see exactly where they need to go.

Announcing On-Site Search Ads

One of the highest forms of monetization for publishers is when a user searches for something and your site reponds with a search results page. Chitika has recently announced an on-site search option for publishers that get such on-site search traffic. 

If your site receives more than 5,000 searches per day of search traffic, please contact Chitika Support with information about your site and the traffic you get, to get started with On-Site Search ads.

 Chitika Offering Local Ad Exchange

Where will we be next?

 

In the News:

I have often wondered aloud why there has been no competitor to Adsense in local search. Now search-based online ad network Chitika has announced its LAX Local Ad Exchange.  Read More.

Like CityGrid it will span platforms and reach into mobile. There will also be an emphasis on PPCall in mobile. Read More.

For Yellowbook, the exchange offers a way to better monetize its own local traffic while offering its existing advertisers broader
reach. Read More.
