More Chitika tips and tricks
My previous article Chitika tips, tricks and hacking : the definitive guide was not that definitive I guess :) Here are a few more Chitika (aff.) tips and good news !
- Customise background color
The javascript code was already in, just not enabled, and now it’s done : you can change your Chitika ads background color. The new parameter to add is :
ch_color_bg = "#303060";
Be warned however, product images generally show up on a white background. - Earn more with affiliate links
Average click value on Chitika is just juicy. Why not add even a bit more ? Once you have a Chitika account, you can earn referral points. Sign up, give it a try, go “oooow” with your revenues and tell friends to sign up too ! - Fine tune your keyword targetting
The Chitika folks have published a comprehensive catalog of relevant keywords you can use. Great for product accurate selection ! - Use title and categories keywords
Over at the official blog, they have a smart tip : use post title as keyword. I have even better : use categories as keywords !
With Wordpress this is, as always, easy as pie :
var ch_queries = new Array('<?php the_category(', '); ?>');
Till now, Chitika ads are really worth the buzz they are getting. Rather low click-through rates for sure, but average Cost Per Click way above everything else. Try them, and make a few bucks to spend on Ebay before Christmas comes :)
Note : all links to Chitika are referral links. Nothing changes for you, a few cents for me :)
This is my geeky log about everyday life and web technologies.
