Ensight - Jeremy Wright’s Personal Blog

Chitika eMiniMalls Review

by Jeremy Wright on October 6th, 2005

Bloggers have been trying to make money with blogs since shortly after blogging started. In the earliest days this was through tip jars and donations. Things have gotten slightly more advanced, and competitive now. The most popular ways for bloggers to earn money include Google AdSense and BlogAds, both of which have performed reasonably well for me in the past.

However, I make most of my ad income off a newcomer to the blog advertising space: Chitika.

Thanks to Darren’s chat with the Chitika guys, I can now reveal exactly what Chitika is earning me, though I can’t report traffic or CTR.

In fact, here are the overall earnings for Ensight for September:

Chitika: 500$
LinkAds sales: 700$
Direct-sale ads: 250$

This is my biggest month since I stopped putting 10 hours a week into direct-selling ads. In fact, my biggest month ever for Ensight income was about 1500$, and this is just shy of that.

My overall experience is the same as Darren’s:

The CTR for Adsense is significantly higher than it was for the eMiniMalls
The click value for eMiniMalls is significantly higher than it was for Adsense

Your mileage may vary. But, if you’re looking for an alternative to AdSense, this may be the way to go.
