Chitika is one of my higher revenue ad networks especially my eCPM from Chitika|Premium ad units. Overall, I've noticed a 300% increase in revenue over what I was using before.

It's really a no-lose situation... We're making much more from it, it's certainly here to stay.

Chitika is out performing Adsense but the combined income has my earnings almost doubled from when I was running Adsense
exclusively.

Dave, AffiliateBestPrograms.com

Chitika | Premium is rather unobtrusive. My regular readers won't be bothered by any additional advertising, while transient travelers, will have a targeted ad.

Daniel Stout, ManufacturedEnvironments.com

I am still making the same amount of money from AdSense after adding Chitika Premium ads. Chitika is a great way to boost your overall revenue, 25% in my case...
