Chitika is a pay per click ad network that many, most of which have been banned from adsense, are starting to move across to. Chitika’s ads have a similar look and feel to adsense making them familiar to visitors. The difference is that the ads are search targeted meaning the ads displayed are driven by the keywords in which the visitor typed into the search engine to get to your site.





Chitika vs Adsense

Chitika allows their ads to be displayed on the same page as adsense units. Adsense is contextual targeting and is picking up relevant keywords from your page whilest chitika will be displaying different ads based on the search made by the visitor.
