Chitika is one of the fast growing ad networks and it’s premium ads took it’s success to the next level. Since Chitika Premium ads are compatible with Google Adsense, publishers are using both these ads on their sites/blogs. However, there is a chance of ruining the income growth if you don’t place both these ad units properly. Do note that a single mistake can harm your online income severely while a few ad optimizations can give you a sudden high growth.

Here is the tutorial on Adsense and Chitika placement guide. This tutorial will contain ad placements, ad branding, good ad slots and possible result with screenshots. But before moving to the optimization tutorial, let’s start from the fundamentals.

What are Chitika Premium ads?

Chitika Premium ads will only appear to a visitor that clicks through to your website from a search engine. Why? Because they believe that targeting a search query and showing a relevant ad will result in a higher CTR and they don’t want you to feel like they are ‘annoying’ your regular visitors with irrelevant ads (this is especially important for forum owners).

Can Chitika Premium Run with AdSense?

Yes! You can use Chitika Premium and AdSense together on the same page because:

1. Chitika ad units are NOT contextual
2. Chitika ad units do NOT look like AdSense units

You should always keep testing with the ad placements and customization so that they don’t just earn the most revenue possible, but also raises the overall advertising revenue. Most publishers display Chitika and AdSense ads together on their websites, and as a result earn a combined higher revenue than using AdSense or Chitika alone.

Kenneth of EnvironmentalChemistry.com, customized his AdSense and Chitika Premium ad units throughout his site. With a Chitika Premium ad unit at the top as well as in the sidebar and AdSense complementing nicely above his comments:

Mariana from TheEasyRecipe.com proves a great point that no spot is too small for a Chitika Premium ad unit. With limited space to work with she made a great choice of using a 468×60 ad unit on her homepage as well as an AdSense block towards the right:

Anton, AntonAmoto.com used an AdSense square above his titles and a Chitika Premium Mega Unit below them. The links were all customized as well making for a nice sleek integration:

Amal from ComputingUnleashed.com has placed an AdSense block at the top of his page and then a Chitika ‘Mega-Unit’ at the end of his content. This ad implementation is a perfect example of how you can use AdSense & Chitika on the same page without cannibalizing revenue from either sources:

Chitika Ad Customization Tips

Ad Blending :

Try to match and blend ad color with your template. Matching site background color, site text colors and links will help your ads blend nicely with your content and as the result you can expect a higher CTR.

You can insert the the following piece of code in the ad code to open the Premium ads in a new window or tab:

ch_target  =  "_blank";

You can customize the ad font to match your template using the following codes :

ch_font_title  =  "Arial";
ch_font_text  =  "Arial";

Matching the colors on your page to your ad and then matching the text will make it blend even better.

Alternate Ad :

Since Premium will only show to US/Canada search engine traffic, displaying an alternate URL can help make sure you keep a steady flow of ad revenue coming in. Insert the following code to show an alternate ad unit when the Premium ads do not display:

ch_alternate_ad_url  =  "INSERT  URL  HERE";

You can edit all above customization options right from your Premium Code Panel.
