Chitika Linx: Chitika Linx will automatically identify key products/keywords mentioned in the content on your website or blog and hyperlink (double underline) those keywords to interactive paid (CPC-based) product listings featuring best deals, offers and promotions from name brand merchants. When users mouse-over these links, a small bubble-like scroll over is revealed listing offers from merchants. This in-text advertising solution gives additional revenue stream to you with no effort and space. You can preview a chitika linx example on left and have an idea what it looks like in your webpages/blogs.

Whitespace Ads: Chitika whitespace ads shows matching ads whenever large whitespace appears when viewing your site on high resolution monitors. When visitors click on the ads, you earn money.  What a pity Chitika whitespace ads only display ads to US based traffic and all other visitors coming from other countries will see no ads and blank space only. It is a floating banner on blank spaces of your  sites/blogs. Definitaly a new stream of income worth to  try. To start using this new income stream with a simple to use widget all you need to give them is your chitika username, how your sites aligned (centered, left, fluid) and your sites width (800px, 1024px, fluid) information. Paste this widget to your site/blog and start using chitika whitespace ads immediately.

Chitika Premium (formerly eMiniMalls): Chitika Premium displays ads for websites of any category or niche, including finance, health, automobile, etc. Anyone who comes to your site via Google, Yahoo!, etc., will receive an unobtrusive text ad based on the keyword they used to find you. Chitika Premium ads don’t show up to untargeted visitors like regular readers for example. They’ll mostly not be interested in it anyway, why show them up? Chitika Premium ads only show up on search engine traffic from USA and Canada. If your visitors are not coming from search engines and if they are not from USA and Canada, they will not see the ad (but you can show them alternate ads if you like).
