Chitika eMiniMall Craze

Friday, December 09, 2005

The latest craze in online marketing has been a new service from Chitika called the eMiniMall. The eMiniMall from Chitika is basically an ad unit for your website that chan be displayed in many different formats. The difference between Chitika and AdSense is that Chitika lists impulse items with prices. This difference enables customers to feel the urge to buy something and click the ad.

Unlike AdSense, Chitika ads are not viewed as a way to get visitors to click the link with catchy text. They are simply listings of good prices on products they are already visiting your webpage for. This relevance is what makes eMiniMalls a good service and a big money maker for site owners.

The eMiniMall program is a pay per click service. Advertisers can bid on certain prices or, be determined by the worth of the affiliate program. Many of the products are very high paying. The highest priced products I have noticed have been electronics. Things like laptops, iPods, iPod accessories, etc. are all good performers with eMiniMalls.

Now that you know a little bit about the pay per click eMiniMall service, I hope you use this service to make yourself some money on your own websites. It can be very profitable for many online publishers, and that should not exclude you.
