How to use Chitika
First Off what is Chitika? Chitika is a Targeted Advertising Service that will place ads on your site that are relevant to your Keywords. Also these ads only display when a searcher reaches your site through the search engines.
If your site is accessed through other means (direct link, affiliate link etc) then the ads will not be displayed. This serves a purpose of not overwhelming your repeat visitors with ads.
How about that name Chitika. Well in a South Indian Language "Chitika" means "snap of the fingers" . So with a snap of a finger ads appear on your site.
If a searcher is searching say for Soy Wax and clicks on a link to your site they will see your post with your products and also ads from Chitika for "Soy Wax" (Your Keyword)
Also Chitika is a Free Premium Ad Service for Publishers. All you need to do is sign up and get you ID. You can sign up through the banner below if you have not done so yet.
Once you receive your ID you can place it into the location on Affiliate Mage or your Core Options Area and all your new sites will display the ads if you check the box in the Select Monitization Methods area of Posting Mage.
Now you can also have the ads displayed on your already created sites by creating a small template: and adding it to your templates in Posting Mage.
Once you have the template created you can go to the repost wizard and select the template and Prepend or Append it to you existing sites.
Remember if you create or created your own templates make sure you add the call to your templates.
You can view the video on the repost wizard by clicking on the link on the right sidebar.
Again if you have not signed up to Chitika just click on the banner below.
If you have any questions PM me or leave a comment.
Here is a video that I hope explains this for you.

You are welcome
Hi Mike,
Just got approved by Chitika for one of my mage. I was wondering is the Chitika ID the Username?
Thanks for that wonderful chitika video.

Yes
Hi Mike,
I went to my account in Chitika yesterday and I believe they were asking everyone to register all their sites running Chitika ads. And that until they do ads will no longer be run on those unapproved sites. Something about new advertisers and some quality control. I went ahead and gave them the info and have not yet heard back from them.
Best,
Jamie
Hi Mike,
It’s me again.You use in your videos {$KEYWORD} but Affiliate Mage plug in uses KEYWORDS, without {$}. Does this affect on the keywords that the software will pick up?
Thanks for your help.

Hello Mike,
Thanks for your blog!
I have cpmage 1 1/2 month ago and still have 4 mage sites up. I created a new site but changed it after with a new template through your Template and Repost Videos. I placed chitika and smart tags at the end of the template with this code:
[affmage source="chitika" results="0"][/affmage]
[mage source="tags"]{$KEYWORD}[/mage]
But when I previewed the site: there is no Chitika yet.
Also, the smart tags are on the left sidebar, not at the end of the main panel. Your video is at the end of the page on the main panel. Is this due to the wp theme that you specifically use? I used 7 color theme, the first one on the list.
Thanks again for all your help to all new mages.
