Chitika vs Google Adsense
Well Google adsense beats chitika in the CPC i.e. cost per click. Google adsense program gives much high Cpc as compared to Chitika CPC. However if it is used along with Google adsense it will turn out to be best monetization program . Suppose you earn $ 100 every month by 2 Adsense Units then , putting 1 Chitika unit will give you additional $ 25. So your total earning will be $125 . So I will suggest all the webmasters and bloggers that they must use Chitika along with Adsense inorder to earn maximum .
Also Google adsense stats (page views ,Clicks ,Ctr etc ) updates in real time while Chitika stats are updated once in a day.
However if you are not able to get adsense till now, You must give a try to Chitika ads.
