Another way to make money online is with Chitika. Chitika is a leading blog advertising company with a network of thousands of blogs/websites and hundreds of name brand advertisers and merchants. Chitika provides bloggers the opportunity to monetize their blog or website with Chitika ads.

Chitika offers many ways to monetize your blog. However, I will only focus on eMiniMalls as that is the most popular ad unit. eMiniMalls provides your visitors with relevant content and comparative shopping information without leaving your blog or website. Every time a visitor clicks on an eMiniMalls ad, you make money.

Here’s an example of an eMiniMalls ad unit:


The ad unit above is 468x180 when viewed in its natural form. However, you can choose other sizes that are more appropriate for your blog or site. The ad sizes range from 180x150 all the way up to 728x90. You’ll be able to easily configure the right size for your site.

Here are some additional features and benefits of eMiniMalls:

1. Choose from millions of products, offers, promotions and deals, ranging from iPods to baby strollers, from thousands of name brand merchants and advertisers.
2. A convenient, non-intrusive and interactive shopping experience for your audience.
3. Geo-targeting in U.S., Canada, Europe, New Zealand and Australia allows you to display localized merchants, products and prices.
4. Intelligent coding learns and adapts to emphasize products your viewers are interested in buying.
5. As users interact with eMiniMalls you earn PPC revenue.

You can also use eMiniMalls on the same page as AdSense as long as you switch off the contextual part in the setup of your eMiniMalls ad units. By default, the contextual parameter is set to off.

Payments are sent out monthly via PayPal when your balance crosses $10. However, if you choose the check option, you will not get paid until your balance reaches $50.

Chitika also offers a referral program. You'll earn 10% of what your referrals earn - the more friends you refer, the more money you’ll make. You're eligible to earn commissions for each referral for 15 months following each referral's approval date.

In summary, the Chitika eMiniMalls is a great way to monetize your site. However, I would recommend only using Chitika ads on product based blogs or websites. This will make you the most money.

What is WidgetBucks? WidgetBucks is an advertising network that displays shopping ads on your blog or site via a widget. You get paid for each click made on your ad by a legitimate website visitor. WidgetBucks is an alternative to Google AdSense. However, you can include both WidgetBucks and AdSense on your site.

The difference between WidgetBucks and AdSense is that WidgetBucks dynamically cycles through a list of products, rather than showing a static ad that only changes with a page refresh. WidgetBucks ad code uses JavaScript, which is provided to you once you sign-up.

You get paid via a check or PayPal. However, your account balance has to be at least $50 to trigger payment.

Here’s an example of a WidgetBucks ad:

You can choose from various ad format sizes, including Skyscraper 160×600, Rectangle 300×250, Leaderboard 728×90, Full Banner 468×60, or Custom 660×330.

Here are the three ways to make money online with WidgetBucks:

1. PPC, or Pay-Per-Click ads. Each time a user from the U.S. or Canada clicks on a WidgetBucks ad widget on your site, you get paid.
2. CPM, or Cost-Per-Thousand Impressions. When a user from outside the U.S. and Canada views one of your pages that contains a CPM ad from one of WidgetBucks' ad partners, you earn revenue.
3. Referrals. When you refer a new WidgetBucks user, you will receive a 5 percent referral fee based on the commissions earned by the people you refer. You'll receive this 5 percent for the full 12 months after the new member joins.

In summary, the WidgetBucks advertising network offers another great way to monetize your blog or website. Please keep in mind that WidgetBucks works best on blogs or websites that are product related.
