-
Chitika eMiniMalls
Although they serve up the most attractive contextual ads, the jury still seems to be out on the Chitika eMiniMalls network.
With many affiliates reporting income audits with losses of 30 – 50% of their expected Chitika earnings, numerous publishers have pulled the plug on this fledgling contextual advertiser, still in beta.
While Chitika publishes Net 30 payments, so far that hasn't been the case, and to make matters worse, rather than sending publishers notice of this contraventionof their terms of service, they merely posted in on their blog.
Maybe they haven't heard about ‘blog to email' yet?
Follow the boards on this one though and cross your fingers that they rise to meet their initial expectations.
