Has anyone had any success at all with Chitika?

I was thinking about signing up, but I've heard a lot of conflicting information on them.

All the things I read lately about them is they have really bad service and don't pay - at all!

Whe people try contact them about it they get hung up on or ignored.

Seems like their success took them by surprise so they just stopped paying people.

Wow, that's really terrible. I guess that answers that then.

Ah but I haven't had any direct experience with them. I'm only going on what I have read. Others may refute that totally.

I've been using them since late September.

They really rocked when they just started, high CTR and very high EPCs. I earned a huge amount of money from them in the first 5-6 weeks but I knew it couldn't last because I couldn't imagine that advertisers were making a good profit. So after a while Chitika received complaints from the advertisers and they made some changes to the ads to lower the CTR. The advertisers were still probably not satisfied and they started lowering their CPCs. The lower CTR and lower EPC resulted in six times lower earnings so I decided to remove them on some of my sites and pages.

They pay on time and they still bring in about $500-600 a month but the performance of Chitika isn't as good as when they just started.

See the funny thing is, I would say that $500 - $600 a month was pretty good. Especially since lst month I made just over $60 from adsense.

I've read many mixed reviews about them. Check out the other forums and you'll know what I mean.
