The most successful contextual advertising program to date is Googles Adsense program - which is a mixture of text and image based ads.

How do Eminimalls Work?

The Chitika Eminimalls concept is exactly that - a very aesthetic minimall of a size you choose is displayed on your site and the site owner is rewarded each time a visitor clicks through on the Eminimall.

For some items comparison prices are displayed right in the mall - and if you know a little about trends in the marketplace - comparision shopping is proving to be a very successful way of driving sales.

Advertisers benefit by displaying their ads to a growing Eminimalls network.

There is even an affiliate program which currently pays 10% of the revenue of anyone that joins the program through the referrer.

What is the most frequently asked question about Chitika Eminimalls?

The most frequently asked question is this: Can I use it with the Google Adsense Program? Well the answer is yes with certain provisos. It's not complicated. But this is outside the scope of this article.

How do I know I will make more money?

Well, quite simply, you don't. Each site is different. Some sites are reporting increased earnings of 4 times. These figures haven't been validated. But my recommendation is to trial it in tandem with other contextual advertising and see if it works for your site - then based on your statistics decide from there.
