Was It Idiot Genius Or Moronic Greed That Sunk Chitika?

Chitika Inc. advertising had a lot of promise and part of that promise were reports that advertisers could earn quite a bit by running their clever little ads that offer products from large companies like Best Buy, Dell, and others.

 

We signed on last Fall and despite low traffic on the sites that the ads ran on, we made a few bucks which encouraged us to add them to more sites, and in some cases displacing ads from Google.com.

 

Then in December we received notification that our account was suspended for un-specified reasons. Our emails, phone calls, and support tickets that we opened on their system have all gone un-answered. After being ignored for several weeks, we went through the long process of pulling all the ads and restoring Google's ads once again.

 

Since we have NEVER BEEN PAID A CENT from Chitika (aka Shitika), we are helping to get the word out that this is one company to avoid like the bird flu. Here are some other resources that are saying much the same thing as we are:
