Quick update first: Chitika is no longer an option — the company announced it was shutting down in April 2019 and instructed publishers to remove Chitika code. That makes any direct “Adsense vs Chitika” revenue comparison obsolete today. (billhartzer.com)

For small or newer sites the practical choices now are different. Google AdSense remains the easiest, self‑serve way to start monetizing and is still the mainstream baseline for low-traffic sites. If the goal is higher yield without the heavy traffic requirements, platforms that provide managed optimization and programmatic access (for example Ezoic’s Access Now program) are built to onboard smaller publishers and can boost RPMs through automated testing. (adsense.google.com)

For publishers with established traffic, the managed ad networks tend to pay better but have entry rules. Mediavine’s ad management expects roughly 50,000 sessions (about ~60k pageviews) as its main threshold; Raptive (the successor to legacy premium publishers networks) positions itself as a high‑RPM partner and has programs to admit more creators as their audience grows. Evaluate those options once your audience and geography match their requirements. (mediavine.com)

Practical next steps (short, actionable):

  1. If this thread’s older comments put Chitika on your list, remove any old Chitika code and confirm you aren’t relying on that network’s data. (billhartzer.com)
  2. Start with AdSense or Ezoic Access Now if monthly traffic is small; measure baseline RPM/ePMV for a month. (adsense.google.com)
  3. When traffic and US/Tier‑1 audience share increase, apply to Mediavine/Raptive and compare real results — don’t assume one network always “pays more.”
  4. Track RPM, viewability, and site speed; run short A/B tests on placements and don’t run directly competing managed networks at the same time.

Notes tied to earlier posts: the instinct by posters like and to match network to niche/audience was sound — just use contemporary networks and the eligibility thresholds above to guide that choice.

Chitika has better customer support while adsense just tells you to go to the hand book and look.

Member Avatar for sheikhali449

well obviously Adsense...

Chikita target their ads by how your site was found . So for example if your site was found on google search with the keyword " credit cards " the ads that will be displayed are around that niche.

I have read that chikita do pay very well if you have decent SE traffic. Yahoo and MSN searches give better Ecpm than google search.

Adsense is always best.

Chitika gold ads are good but adsence is more better for anyone.
