Chitika announced yesterday they will be giving away 5 brand new dell mini-9 laptops to new premium publishers. These laptops are pretty hot and I have been looking to pickup one for a bit cause you can install MacOSX on them.
The only trick is you have to earn atleast $50 to be eligible to win…. but seriously who can’t make $50.
People like Darren Rowse have claimed Chitika out earns Google AdSense on their niche properties.
What is Chitika Premium ? Checkout this video here:
Looks like they are doing some snazzy referrer based targeting among other things with their new Chitika Premium.

Wow is great opportunity
Thank’s shoe for the info
September 2, 2009 at 3:44 am
Which brand laptop they are giving and how to increase the chances of winning ??
September 2, 2009 at 12:37 am
Hello Dr. Shoemoney, do you own Chitika, and if not why do you advertise them so much (banner across top of home page)? Just wondering
August 31, 2009 at 11:44 am
This is great opportunity, I must try
thank’s shoe
August 25, 2009 at 9:01 am
Will surely have to take a look at this! Thanks
August 24, 2009 at 10:18 am
Wow that’s great a branded mini-laptop like dell.
I would be nice also if they could share with us the complete specifications of the mini-laptop.
I’m still hoping for my entire life experience what does Mac OS look like. Is it friendly user OS?
September 10, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Yup, I a gree with you Jack
August 21, 2009 at 6:36 pm
This looks like a great oppurunity and 50 dollars doesn’t look too hard to make. Im sure there will be a lot of people to chose from for the winners.
August 21, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Sounds like a great opportunity. Does Chitika normally bring in more $ per click though, or is it only through certain niches?
August 21, 2009 at 11:14 am
Two things to consider –
# If you have good and stable traffic …
# Traffic should come from European and US …
If you have these two than you can get the earning as well.
August 25, 2009 at 5:52 am
So far as the second point is considered, I feel that any average website will see that it is the European and US traffic that is the second highest in their quota. So going for Chitika will always make sense.
August 21, 2009 at 2:22 am
I like the ability of these Dell mini-laptops to run MacOS. You can at least have some of the benefits of being an Apple user without having to fork out for the expensive hardware.
August 20, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Chitika Premium has been a good source of income for me as well. Initially when I got to know that they were withdrawing the old ads and were introducing the new Chitika Premuim I was disappointed because of the many ifs and only-if associated with it. But when I saw that the income from Chitika Premium was almost 4 times my old Chitika ads, I realized the importance of the change.
August 20, 2009 at 6:41 am
Shoe finally my account got approved and i have placed codes. Awaiting results
i will surely share my experience soon.
August 21, 2009 at 5:32 am

August 19, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Sweet Offer!
August 19, 2009 at 6:56 am
Hmmm now this will be one more reason to come at Jeremy blog because we will get update about the latest interesting offer from Top affiliates.
August 19, 2009 at 11:40 am
Zubin – Little misunderstanding bro
Chitika is PPC company
August 20, 2009 at 12:01 am
Yeah I know Chris even I have chitika on my other 3 blogs as well. To manage those blogs I outsourced to four Indian guys and they are doing very fine on them.
But here at Jeremy blog we generally get the information about affiliates.
August 19, 2009 at 5:03 am
Chitika is the only network that regularly rejects me.
August 19, 2009 at 8:24 pm
You being rejects, hmmmm is the chikita accept people from outside US ?
August 20, 2009 at 8:34 pm
That is unfortunate. Do you know the exact reason for the rejection? Is it got something to do with the blog or, something, though I have not heard of any such things till now?
August 21, 2009 at 11:00 pm
OOooo thank’s R Kumar for your info
August 31, 2009 at 11:48 am
yup so do I
August 19, 2009 at 4:12 am
What about existing Chitkians? Premium is not easy to use specially for people who attract traffic from outside the US.
August 19, 2009 at 12:57 am
Just signed up and verified Email. Says that it will take 2-3 days for them to approve the account my website is approved
August 19, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Is that simple chris, just sign up?
August 21, 2009 at 10:37 am
Well they will see and check your traffic and from where they are coming. Generally Chitiki prefer European and US based traffic.
August 21, 2009 at 10:58 pm
Oooo Ic Thank’s ZK for your info
September 10, 2009 at 10:02 pm
ooo IC thank’s ZK for sharing
August 23, 2009 at 2:39 am
it will be a mere luck…some accounts will be approved immediately when u apply at the weekends[Sunday]…some may be approved based on the blog traffic and readership immediately and for some others the approval may take a few days…
August 19, 2009 at 12:16 am
This seems to be coool, but i dont think we get earn better in this..
August 18, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Wow. Thats a pretty awesome deal on behalf of Chitika. Will give it a whirl.
August 18, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Awesome Contest.
August 18, 2009 at 8:41 pm
I signed up with Chitika about 2-3 months ago, and after many attempts at getting help with the referral code to send other to Chitika (the guy handling my affiliate account never would get back to me), I decided I was through with them.
There are too many other networks out there to put up with companies refusing to care about their affiliates.
August 19, 2009 at 11:42 am
Well i agree with your saying Steven. Seems they do not care about it any more..lol
September 10, 2009 at 10:20 pm
It mean chikita is lie and
un trusted
August 18, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Interesting, that is great opportunity, and thank’s shoe for the info
August 18, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Thanks for the heads up, looks good. I haven’t used my Chitika account for years, because for ages I saw problems with their ad units (always being cropped for some reason) but seems to be fixed now
August 19, 2009 at 6:57 am
Yes now they are making news among affiliates community.
August 18, 2009 at 1:36 pm
I’m diggin the search traffic only feature.
August 18, 2009 at 5:46 am
chitika is by far kicking adsense’s butt… Been using it since a year now on my site and it actually is working pretty well. Steady income and much higher ppc than adsense, at least in my case.
August 21, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Good to see that you are having success with Chitika, might have to switch over to it.
August 21, 2009 at 11:02 pm
Yup, i am glad to hear that, i must try
September 10, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Is that true, that is a good news, and i am glad hear that, it mean i must try chikita. Thank’s bernard

Really happy to read this nice post. I was already looking to buy a laptop but chitika has solved my problem. I m there primum publisher as well so looking to get a laptop from them.
Shoemoney Rocks!!!!!
August 18, 2009 at 2:26 am
I like Chitika BUT you really need the right niche. But them on the wrong type of site and it’s really easy make bugger all, never mind $50
August 17, 2009 at 10:41 pm
I’ll probably get some hate from this comment, but I’ll just lay it out. Chitika only wants your best qualifying traffic which is search engine traffic. They pay peanuts compared to Adsense especially when they are arbitraging high affiliate commissions against the pennies they pay. I don’t run them any more. Gave them lots of chances on lots of sites in lots of niches and they consistently underperformed. You are better off posting affiliate products or running some other PPC. Some CPM plans even pay better depending on the niche.
This is obviously just my experience, but I gave them a more than fair chance over a three year period. The payout was great with minimalls back then, but I finally gave them the axe earlier this year.
Just one guy’s experience.
August 19, 2009 at 11:45 am
Well they talk all big talks about their paying style & talk it works as adsense alternative ..lol
Thanks for sharing any way
August 20, 2009 at 9:42 am
Hey Marc,
Sorry you didn’t see the results you wanted with Chitika | Premium. You’re right – we want a publisher’s search traffic, and only display to search, but that’s because we base the ads we show on a visitor’s search query. Out of curiosity, were you running us instead of AdSense or in conjunction? We tend to see the best results when people combine the two – it’s generally a very nice incremental jump from AdSense alone.
The eMiniMalls were nice (before my time w/Chitika), but what we try to do now is serve ads based on the immediate intent of a visitor.
Cheers,
Dan Ruby

That was a pretty nice explanation of the entire thing. Though I disagree with the view that Chitika doesn’t generate enough cash, I still feel there could be areas of improvement in the aspect that these Premium ads only appear to Search engine traffic.
August 17, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Hey Shoe, have you released week 12 of your course yet? Waiting for it…
August 17, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Interesting, but I’m reserving judgement.
August 17, 2009 at 7:56 pm
how can you go wrong!
August 17, 2009 at 7:31 pm
wow this truly great opportunity
