Chitika Rolling Out New Text Ads
January 11, 2006
Chitika was the new darling revenue maker for blogs all over the blogosphere. When it first launched many bloggers noticed that they were recieving more per click using Chitika than they could ever hope to get using Adsense. But as they say all good things must come to an end and it soon did when Chitika began to change eMinimalls, delaye revenue audits, and drop CPC rates.
Even this month Chitika announced that their would once again be an audit delay and it’s publishers are not happy. Truth be told they haven’t been happy with ad company for a while. Now Chitika is hoping to make their publishers a little happier by bringing by text ads.
Chitika text ads strongly resemble YPN and Adsense ads but it’s not immediately known when these ads will start being offered again. For more on this story: Chitika text ads. Amit Agarwal of Digital Inspiration also has a nice screenshot of Chitika text block.
Text Ads Out, Video Clicks In?

Almost 1 year old Revver offers users a chance to make money by uploading their videos. At the end of your video will be an ad and if anyone clicks on it you make a cut of money. They also have an affiliate program and bloggers can make money by featuring videos on their blog and if anyone clicks on the ad the affiliate will make 20% from that click.
The videos are using the oh so popular tags for easier searching, and if anyone takes the video and posts it all over the internet the ad stays with it, so you continue to make money off the clicks no matter where your video ends up. Revver seems like they can be around for a while. I do wonder, has anyone created blogs around this, a video blog featuring the different videos? Let’s wait and see I guess.
