Chitika famous for their eMiniMalls and ShopCloud$ are introducing Chikita Linx an in-text alternative to their existing service. Recently I have seen more webmasters using in-text advertising. You may have seen it. When you move your mouse over an in-text ad a small bubble pops up with some advertising or offer.
With Chitika Linx when a visitors moves their mouse over the underlined keyword then a bubble appears showing relevant advertising based on the keyword. Like Chitika’s other ad formats you get paid each time a visitor clicks on the ad (not the keyword itself).
Is Chitika for you?
I have used Chitika’s eMiniMalls and it works quite well compared to Google’s Adsense. Their new Linx offering give you another alternative if you use similar in-text advertising from the likes of Kontera and Intellitxt.
You will get the best results from using Chitika product related sites, electronics seem to work particularly well. You need to choose a category or keywords to suggest what types of products to display in the ads. So if the available categories do not match your sites topic then they will probably not work well for your site.
