In order to challenge Google AdSense, Chitika has offer a brand new Chitika | Premium unit, known as the MEGA-Unit. From the first look, there is a great level of similarities between the MEGA-Unit and one of Google AdSense's publisher unit. How well does it works? Well, it will depend very much on your site, target geographical location, audiences and incoming links.
What are the benefits of using Chitika's MEGA-Unit?
To simply address the question; in comparison to other Chitika's units, the MEGA-Unit's Click Through Rate (CTR) is approximately four (4) times higher, thereby generating more clicks and therefore more revenue. Below are some reviews from various websites:
- AskDaveTaylor.com increased his Chitika earnings from $85/month to $2000/month by adding the new MEGA-Unit to his site (Dave talks about this in greater detail on his site).
- ArticleAlley.com tried the new MEGA-Unit and reports that "The result was a massive 721% increase in income - without any noticeable knock on effect to our other income providers." - Adrian from ArticleAlley.com
- Couponmom.com added the MEGA-Unit to just 1 of her pages, and immediately doubled her eCPM and revenue.
In other words, these are proven benefits through the use of Chitika's MEGA-Units. Whether it benefits your site or not, that's a totally different question. Why not try it out for a month and see the change?
To maximise the earnings, I encourage you to choose the 550x250 "MEGA-Unit" from the drop-down. The ad unit at its best when placed directly above or below the main content.
However, I do have a piece of advise. Please ensure that you read through the terms and conditions of Chitika and other various revenue-generating techniques that you use on your site, e.g. Google AdSense. Sometimes, it is against the policy to use similar ad units on the same page.

Hi Keith,
I'm the Director of Marketing at Chitika, wanted to chime in with a quick answer to your question about compatibility - we are fully compatible with AdSense. In fact, we find that people have the most success using AdSense and Chitika both - since our ads only display to search traffic, having AdSense ads display to the rest of the traffic makes for an ideal combo.
Cheers, and thanks for the killer writeup!
Daniel Ruby
