“Chitika” (pronounced Chih-tih-ka) is taken from Telegu (a South Indian Language) Language and means “snap of the fingers“, and represents the speed at which Chitika online ads display on a website.To understand why Chitika is a good advertising program you need to understand in which particular situations Google AdSense is unable to bring the publisher good revenue. Google AdSense puts everything into displaying content relevant ads, which is a good idea hence that way both publisher and advertiser earn more money. Less relevant ads means less conversions after clicking on the ad resulting in less revenue for the advertiser and consequently less money for the publisher. Now comes the part what makes Chitika special: Chitika does not scan the content of the page to display relevant ads, they scan the search strings which were used to enter the website. By displaying relevant ads they are able to pay the publisher top CPC rates because the Return of Investment for the advertiser is very high (advantage of content relevant ads). One example: Dating ads on a website about insurance will most likely result in absolutely no conversions.

Chitika ads can be clubbed into below group:

• Banner ads - They are standard ad type.Chitika does not show banner ad but they show images with text.
• Mobile ads - These ads are displayed only if your website is viewed from mobile device.The ads are displayed on depending upon device not the site.This means if a user browses your website using mobile device ads will show up.You do not have to create mobile site for this.Entire mobile traffic of your website will get monetized.
• Linx ads - Chitika Linx are in-text ad units that automatically identify relevant keywords on your page to hyperlink (double underline) to interactive paid (CPC-based) product listings. For those of you with a text-heavy site, Chitika Linx is for you!
• Hover ads - These ads will hover on the bottom right corner of your site, and will stay in the position as your user scrolls down the page. They are similar to our mobile ads, but make up less screen space and will show on all devices, not just mobile. A great way to make sure your Chitika Ads don't go by the wayside.
• Highlight ads - When one of your site visitors wants to copy and paste some text on your page, they will be served an ad based on the keywords that they have highlighted directly below that paragraph of text. The ads will disappear once they copy and paste different text. These ads will only appear when text has been highlighted.
