I have to hand it to Chitika, one of the lesser known contextual advertising programs in the market. They have a hit in their new eMiniMalls product.

I had tested their text ads recently but didn’t find they paid as well as Google Adsense so I abandonded them. I then stumbled across one of these mini malls and –WOW!! This is really great!!

Take a look at the ad right below this post to see a eMiniMall. What is a eMiniMall? As they put it:

“eMiniMalls are the industry’s first and only intelligent and interactive product merchandising service. eMiniMalls present Web publishers with a feature rich service that offers online product merchandising, a dynamic recommendation engine and robust comparative shopping information in one solution. They are a way to supplement your existing ad revenue while providing a completely new revenue stream through interactive merchandising.

In addition to the revenue opportunities generated from its comprehensive merchandising engine, eMiniMalls offers a more informative window shopping experience in which users can browse and learn about products that are dynamically targeted to the content of the site and their interests in particular-all without having to leave the site.”

This product looks like a home-run to me and I hope the folks at Chitika get rich from this. I also expect Google and the others to try and play catch-up to Chitika, whom I consider the leader in their field now.

Congratulations Chitika!!

For bloggers that use blogspot blogs and aren’t adept at html Google has just added a new AdSense interface right into their dashboard.

It features a new tab within the control panel where bloggers can sign up for AdSense as well as manage their AdSense placement and options for the ads that will appear on the blog. This makes it just about as easy as can be for bloggers to sign up for a new AdSense account.

One unique feature of this new integration is that you can preview the placement before it goes live, changing ad units and ad styles on the fly… all without ever having to touch the HTML code or the AdSense javascript.
