Chitika Pays
Thursday, January 12th, 2006Chitika had just posted to their blog that the November and December final earnings reports were ready.
Now that we completed our audits, we will start processing November payments. Clients who opted for PayPal based payment can expect to see the PayPal payments in email and clients who opted for checks can expect to receive the payments in mail over the next few days.
Well, less than 30 minutes later, I received an email confirmation from Paypal, that Chitika had been deposited my revenue share for November 2005.
I started running Chitika ads starting in early October 2005 on some of my other sites. Their interactive eminimalls are a cool way to showcase products related to the content of your blog or website. If you are looking for a new way to display targeted products and get paid for the clicks, take a look at Chitika.
