I prefer Chitika over Adsense, it is really faster than Adsense to reach payout. What do you opt for?? Have you ever heard of Chitika?

I never heard of Chitika before. I think that I would use anything alternative to Adsense because the latter is too strict and like you already said the payout is hard to reach.

I have not heard of Chitika either. I do not mind Adsense as I find that it is easy to work with and pay is extremely reliable. A new company would have to have a proven track record to get me to change.

I haven't heard of Chitika but so far have been pretty impressed with Adsense and haven't found the need to change to anything different. How long has Chitika been around?

The original post didn't make clear that this is a service intended only for blogs. There are a bunch of different options available in terms of what types of ads are displayed and how they pay.

Hmm, I've never heard of Chitka either, but then again, I don't have a blog. It's good to see there are some alternatives to adsense though... even if they are just for blogs.

Can you use both AdSense and Chitika on your blog as ad revenue sources or do the companies not allow for both to be used at the same time? If so I'd love to incorporate both just as a method of diversifying the methods of ad income that I use.

Google has a bit of a monopoly when it comes to Adsense, purely because it has a very big name and everyone will recongise it. Other companies have trust issues with customers and also issues getting a good customer base. Google Adsense isn't the best out there but it is the most popular, simply because Google is so popular.
