Think I did read in their blog that they allow it - but you should verify it with them.
Here is one that I've set up. Notice how the images are much better in some categories than in others.

Any opinions out there on how search engines will see them ( or ignore them? )

I'd be nice if a Chitika Representative would join in the discussion to tell us more about what they have planned.

So far it seems that it is only a tease of what it could be if they did a little work on it.

I just got an account their. I parked one of my domain which is already made around $15-20 from parked.com with $0.15-0.40 per click. Let's see how much RPC in the chitika.

I checked musicvideophone.com...& personal-computer.biz

and they both show this error

We're sorry!
We could not find any results for your search.
Please make sure all words were spelled correctly, or try again using different keywords.

same with toolshedkits

Would imagine that there is no revenue when they show that

Karla from Chitika here- this was actually an bug we found and fixed- should be all set early tomorrow. We are working on adding some great features to the domains service very soon.

Just to add some more to the discussion here. Domains is only about a week old and there have already been over 1,000 domain pages already created- We are very glad we were able to create this service for all of you

We plan on adding some customization features very soon, such as: being able to select what product categories are on the left hand side, adding your logo and navigation header from your website at the top, and some others.

Feel free to ask some questions but I urge you to please contact our Customer Support if you are having technical issues.

*More on technical issues.. a few bugs have been found and fixed immediately, we apologize for those small issues some users saw with categories. We appreciate your feedback so we can continue to make Chitika For Domains a great service for you all!

hi karla , thansks for join NP and reply this thread .

did you allowed Porn stores ? or any low-stats domains ?

CharlieA · Apr 4, 2008

Chitika pays well per click so if you have a busy domain expect big earnings.

CDS123 · Apr 5, 2008

What is their payment term?

PowerUp · Apr 5, 2008

My account has been approved. But the control panel seems confusing. Somehow... I couldn't find the instructions to park my domain with them.

From what I could understand, I'd need to have my own hosting and site. Then paste those generated HTML codes on my site to display those ads.

Is there a simpler solution like just pointing our nameservers to chitika, then customize the templates from within the control panel and then all set to go?

Power up

There is a seperate domain parking section that someone just changes name servers if I am not mistaken.

No hosting needed

This is the FAQ on the domains:

This is really cool.

I am ready to give it a try.

:bingo:

rickkumar · Apr 6, 2008

No one is talking about chitika RPM/Revenue stats. Has anyone seen any jump in revenue as compared to other ppc companies.

Thanks.

Pound · Apr 6, 2008

So do you get paid for clicks or is it commission based?

kong707 · Apr 8, 2008

Not so good . No product shown in parking page. Bug is still not fixed .

netmeg · Apr 8, 2008

I've got three of 'em up at the moment. Seem to be getting visits, but absolutely no clicks. There's no traffic stats, so I can't tell if they are any kind of real visits or just bots.

I've always had two problems with Chitika - for one, they seem to be very heavily weighted towards electronic/computer equipment, which is fine for those who are into it, but I don't usually play in that niche. And the other is that I never liked the way the minimalls looked.

The parked domains *look* pretty good. But, to quote a well known movie - show me the money. I haven't seen it yet.

Also, yesterday I was contacted out of the blue (on WMW) by a Chitika rep wanting to help me place some of their promotions on my developed sites; maybe they've got a big push on to get some fresh business going.

Agreed. I'm a little lost and decided not to push forward with testing more domains since I don't have many "shopping" niches.

I can't even give a review about CPC since there was ZERO clicks for a week as opposed to 5-6/day with traditional parking--which to me is odd in itself (except I couldn't really find relevant products for 'basketball' keywords).

BizBot · Apr 8, 2008

I did not get approved because the domains I submitted were not related to products -
(product reviews, product news, etc.).

I did receive a same day response from them and may re-submitt with some of my computer/equipment related domain names this time. I like the concept and see some potential here if the clicks improve for those who joined.

netmeg · Apr 8, 2008

They have a new 'premium' type ad that is not supposed to be product-oriented. The problem is, I went in today to look at their ads, and I can't help it, I can't stand ANY of 'em. None of them would fit well with any of my developed sites, and that small tabbed thing just looks too gimmicky to me.

So, unless the parking stuff suddenly starts to garner some actual clicks, I think I'm going to have to move on.

Timewarp · Apr 9, 2008

I tried to take a look but everyones site is down again, doesn't seem very robust.
