General Ads Placement Tips:
* On your top search pages. This is probably the most important. Premium ads only display to your search traffic- so this is a given. Even though this seems simple, it's often overlooked.
* Above or below article titles. See it in action here.
* Within your text/content. They typically perform better in the middle of your pages than on the side-bars of your pages. Where your readers' eyes go, the clicks will follow.
Remember – since your Chitika |Premium ads only display to your search engine traffic, your regular readers won’t even see them (less ads keeps your blog cleaner ) :)
Optimize via Channels.
Channels are what you use to track the performance of your ad units separately. This is important for you know which ads in which sizes and placements do better than others.
After you figure out which ads perform the best, it's smooth sailing from there-on-out. You can sit back and relax knowing you're receiving the best payout possible from your ads.
Easily set this up in the Chitika|Premium code panel or simply edit the following line from right within your code on your site: ch_sid = "PutChannelNameHere";
You can use channels to track multiple ad units on different pages even though they are the same size and vice versa? All you need to do is label them differently, such as: “Mega_Unit1” and “Mega_Unit2”
