Many of you may be well aware of Google adsense affiliate program which is the market-leader in PPC(pay-per-click) affiliate marketing. However, many of you may not be aware of "Chitika" PPC affiliate program which is closely following Google adsense. Google AdSense and Chitika are the current two top players in the PPC advertising market. The best alternative to Google Adsense as far as earning money through Ads is concerned. Many sites tried to be like Adsense but each of them failed just because they were not innovative.
Chitika allows you to display ads on your website, blog, app or mobile site, with content from our high-quality network of advertisers. Chitika offers search-targeted, mobile, and local ads to best target your users.
If you haven’t yet implemented Chitika ads on your site, you may be missing out on some extra revenue.
Most of the bloggers use both Chitika ads in conjunction with Google Adsense. A good Chitika + Adsense Placement guide reference is mentioned by Mert Erkal. Chitika and Google Adsense are two major sources of making money from blogging by Darren Rowse. The reason for top bloggers starting using Chitika ads was a great potential to make money from it in the long run. The recent Chitika Premium Ads from Chitika has made it more popular and competitive from Google Adsense resulting in more and more people making money with Chitika. Hence Chitika is considered as the best Google Adsense alternative.
Getting a new blog approved from Google Adsense is a bit difficult. Google has a strict advertising policy now. Good and ample content with certain search engine visibility is better before going for an Adsense account. In the meantime new bloggers after at least 10-15 posts should apply for Chitika. Chitika approves submitted domains either for Bronze, Silver, or Gold-level Chitika ads depending upon the traffic and visibility of the domains on the search engines.
Chitika is a good way of monetizing a blog for bloggers who do not have an adsense account or whose adsense account has been banned, that is why it is a good alternative adsense advertising program for Google Adsense publishers as well as others.
