Drawing on the Web

A new web advertiser showed up in late 2005 with an innovative product — the eMiniMall from Chitika. Chitika has continued to innovate with their ShopCloud and their Related Products Units, too.

The eMiniMalls system (the starting point for new publishers) provides a tabbed interface for ads, multiple sizing, even multiple products per ad, color choices for text, background, borders, the ability to include a search tab, and lots more.

You can even pick “context-sensitive” ads or choose the keywords yourself. At first, you might wonder why you wouldn’t want context-based advertising. The reason is that, if you use other context-based advertising, the Chitika context-based ads might violate the rules of the other system). The ability to choose the ad keywords yourself solves that issue — and you can even enter a set of keywords for an individual adblock that will be used randomly.

I’ve found the Chitika eMinimalls to be rather effective in monetizing my sites. If you’ve got a content site, you should check out Chitika eMiniMalls for your site.
