Just presenting a basic interpertation of the Chitika affiliate program for publishers…
Overview : Founded in 2003, [tag]Chitika[/tag] provides bloggers and website owners the opportunity to harness their independent original content and opinions to monetize the traffic to their site. Chitika offers retailers a new channel to merchandise their products, and gives consumers better access to a broader base of independent expert advice from the blogger community.
Click Fraud : In commission based [tag]affilite programs[/tag], click fraud is irrelevant because earnings are based on sales and not on clicks.
Tips : Chitika shows a lot of potential for one of the newer affiliate programs in the industry however they do not have the mass amount of vendors as Google Adsense or Yahoo Search Marketing so you will mostly be seeing ads for products such as iPod’s, Playstation and ringtones when you put them on your site. Below is a sample of how the average Chitika ads look on your website.
Considering the vendors and products offered through Chitika, we believe that blogs and websites with a younger target [tag]demographic[/tag] might be more well suited for their service.
Customer Service : Chitika has very professional support either by email or phone, and they offer a public forum for users to discuss the various aspects of the program. We’ve had very pleasant experiences with Chitika via phone and via email.
ABP Opinion
Chitika continues to grow, evolving their online marketplace to now encompass a network of more than 12,000 participating blogs and websites. Setup of the code is very simple and Chitika is very fast in paying affiliates. It seems Chitika is intent on building a community driven network and they encourage publishers and vendors alike to communicate and support each other to make the experience worthwhile on both ends of the spectrum.
To join Chitika Affiliate Program : 
Good Luck with this program !!!
