Chitika Going Berserk!

So, I recently started using Chitika ads services and after just a couple a days my account was terminated due to fraudulent click activities. The interesting thing was that during my time Chitika, all my reports showed that zero clicks were ever made. This makes sense as my blog is small, but I do not understand why they terminated my account, especially since nobody ever made a single click to any of the ads and the reports show it.


After, doing some research online, I found that this is a common occurrence with many Chitika users. Fortunately for me, I did not lose any money; however, it could have been a big problem if your account can suddenly be terminated; especially, if you are driving-in a lot of traffic and making serious money. Of course, this is also common practice for other companies, such as; google ad-sense, who are infamous for terminating accounts based on pure conjecture. This can be detrimental if you are counting on the advertisement income.


This behavior is unacceptable and it should not be tolerated. Thus, I recommend people to avoid Chitika and Ad-sense. There are plenty of alternatives, and a quick search online will provide you with many more ways to create ad-revenue. Also, you may also want to consider to advertise your own products, or perhaps exclusive advertise certain products from a company of your choice. If you are generating enough traffic, then nothing should stop you from earning more ad-revenues. Chitika and Ad-sense started out as great companies; however, now they have become monstrous and arrogant. If they choose to treat their partners in such a bad manner, then so be it, we will not use your services, and we will move on to a different company.


For me, I think the best course of action is to keep producing good content, drive-in traffic, and then choose a method of advertisement that best suits you. A direct deal with a company selling a product that you believe in would be the ideal situation; however, even if that cannot be possible that are still many more alternatives one can try.
