FAQs – the Answers

Most Popular

Can I run Google AdSense and Chitika | Premium on the same page?
Yes! You can use Chitika Ads 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

Why would I want to run both AdSense and Chitika | Premium together?
There are three main reasons:
- Increased Revenue – Google AdSense revenue + Chitika revenue is generally much greater than AdSense revenue alone. You can see real publishers’ examples of this here and here.
- Flexible Integration – If we don’t have a super-targeted ad to show, then we don’t show anything. Yeah, we collapse and the ad disappears (not leaving any blank space). This allows for creative integration on your pages (like between content). This is not something you can do with any other ad units.
- User Experience – The Chitika | Premium ads do look a lot different from AdSense, and are super-targeted to the exact keywords that the user is searching for. Users love targeted ads.
Are Chitika | Premium Ads PPC (Pay-Per-Click)?
Yes – Chitika | Premium Ads are PPC (Pay-Per-Click) ads.

Correct – Chitika | Premium Ads will only display to users that come to your site via a search engine.

What about the traffic that comes to my site from any other source (non-search engine traffic)?
You have 2 options:
- The default option is to have the ad collapse entirely – it will not display, and it will not leave any blank space.
- The other option is to display another ad of your choice (AdSense, Tribal Fusion, etc.). You can do this easily using our Alternate URL feature.

What type of ads will users see on my site? (How does the targeting work?)
Chitika | Premium will target the ads to whatever your user entered into the search engine originally. For example, if you run a site about cars, and the user found your site by typing “new ford explorer” into a search engine, then Chitika | Premium will show ads targeted to “new ford explorer.”
