Chitika - How can soooo many clicks be "fraudulently created"

noreply@blogger.com (Suryakar) — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 11:11:00 +0000

Chitika’s most recent blog statement:
The daily reports only summarize the data from the raw click logs. On a monthly basis we run our audited process to remove and discount potentially fradulent clicks (i.e., clicks generated by bots, automated scripts etc) and clicks from countries currently not supported.

This confirms that they are claiming that the ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH number of discounted clicks we are seeing are being caused by bots, automated scripts, and foreign countries.

To this I say - Chitika, you’re statistical software is not working properly. Without moving on to personal attacks at your company, you should seriously consider having this looked into - as I assure you that your statistics are skewed by a vast margin.

If you insist on being vague in your explanations of what is “fraud” then you are insisting on the depth of your own grave to be 6 feet - this is absurd.

There is no possible way in hell that over 30% of the clicks that I sent to your advertisers were:

A: From foreign visitors
B: From bots/scripts/etc

I take offense to you claiming that nearly 1 in 3 clicks on your ads from my sites are mustered in a fraudulent manner, and regret making a hasty decision to do business with your organization.

I’m sure I speak for many - this is not “normal” business practice, but I do hold myself accountable for doing business with your company.

Thanks for the lesson in business - you’ve educated me for the future… which incidentally will not include anything “Chitika” - at least on my websites.

The catch in the chitika quote you posted is the ETC. That means that what they decide is fraudulent isn’t necessarily restricted to the specific things mentioned. And of course, there’s no criteria stated that they use (and no company I know of releases that information.)

As an example, they could discount, or not count clicks where a “clicker” spends less than x seconds on the advertiser’s site. Nobody knows. We aren’t likely to know.

Revenue reverses aren’t new, and it’s simply a basic fact that publishers don’t have a lot of rights, and give away most of them by signing up.

The moral of the story is jumping in because something has a buzz, and doesn’t have any real long term track record, where the supplied information is virtually zero is at the webmaster’s almost total risk.

It’s rough learning this the hard way - but better now than later (when it could be a greater $$ loss)

You are right - the etc basically says “Eh, we will cut clicks for any reason we want, and can change our reasons on the fly without telling you… deal with it”

I’ll consider myself lucky that it wasn’t a larger percentage, as some have encountered.

I think most of the anger towards Chitika comes from the fact that it takes over a month to see how much the discount is. At the end of the day no one cares what discount is because all programs have that built in… they just don’t disclose the specific numbers (like Adsense). Mine wasn’t a horror story, but it is quite discomforting that I don’t know what 1st’s real earnings are for *sixty* days.

>> but it is quite discomforting that I don’t know what 1st’s real earnings are for *sixty* days.

It is. Very discomforting. And I now note I can’t even sort earnings by month…it’s just one long list.

I’m still not going to quit using Chitika but I AM going to reduce the amount of space I give them even more than I reduced it last week. I knew Chitika was a beta program when I signed up about a month ago. However, that doesn’t mean I have to sit around for two months for a perplexing audit, during peak season for my site, wondering if I’ll take a loss because I replaced AdSense with Chitika code.

Beta for them is to work out problems. Beta participation for me is to see if a product works and if I feel comfortable with it.

AdSense has served me well. I know every day where I stand with them. When Chitika gets things worked out, I’ll consider increasing their presence again at my site. I do hope they succeed and mature because I like their product.

Just looked at yesterday’s numbers.

I’m removing Chitika from my site. Revenue has dropped to such a low level that it isn’t worth drawing attention away from the YPN or Adsense ads.

Too much real estate taken up for what I thought would be $100 per day from early results and is now <$10 per day.

And now to hear that I’m likely to lose 10-40% during the audit makes it clear Chitika won’t work for a lot of sites.

I’ll save the space for the next entry in the PPC field.

5 ways to building a better blog

noreply@blogger.com (Suryakar) — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 10:59:00 +0000

Although the blogosphere is a new space on the web, it is starting to become a crowded. Millions of bloggers are writing on a daily basis and many of them are writing on similar topics. Because of the sheer number of blogs fighting for the same eyeballs, it is becoming harder to become popular, so the question is how do you make your blog stand out from the rest?

Content

Most blogs have 1 major thing in common, they are content centric. Content is going to get new visitors to your blog and keep your old readers reading. Here are some things to keep in mind when writing blog posts.

Write quality content that readers can benefit from. If people cannot get something out of your content, what's the point of them reading your blog?
Write on a consistent basis. There is nothing wrong with blogging on a daily, weekly or even on a monthly basis, but whatever your blogging schedule is, try to keep it consistent.
Participate in conversations, it allows you to give your input on the latest happenings. This is also a great way to gain readers from other blogs.
Keep your content short and to the point. Om Malik once said that it is better to write something in 500 words than 1000 words. Readers are also less likely to read a 1000 word post compared to a 500 word post.

Usability

Steve Krug wrote a book called Don't Make Me Think and that's exactly what you should be aiming for when visitors comes to your blog. If they are looking to read your content they should be able to find it and read it with ease. If they want to subscribe to your blog, they should be able to find your RSS feed with ease. Whatever it might be, you want to make it as easy for your readers as possible.

Here are a couple things to keep in mind.

Your website's content should be easy to read as well as easy to navigate.
Make it easy for people to find your content by using categories and by having a search feature on your blog.
Make your RSS subscription button easy to access for anyone looking to read your content from a RSS reader.
Limit the options and features on your blog. Why have tons of features when 90 percent of your visitors only use a handful of them.
Try to avoid technical jargon when possible and when you cannot try to explain the jargon in as few words as possible.

Visibility

You can have the best blog in the world, but it does not matter if people cannot find it. Use search engines, blog search engines and the social mediums to bring visitors into your blog.

Search engines - Make sure your blog is optimized for search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN...), that way you have a good chance of getting traffic from them. There are many online documents that give step by step instructions on how you can optimize your blog.

Blog search engines - ping the blog search engines through services like Ping-o-matic and Pingoat. That way when you post a new entry people can find it through blog search engines such as Technorati and IceRocket.

Social mediums - Get your content out on sites like digg or del.icio.us. If can manage to get on the digg homepage or on del.icio.us popular you will get thousands of new visitors coming to your website within minutes.

Uniqueness

Try to differentiate yourself from your competition. Standing out is not always a bad thing, if your blog stands out from the crowd it will draw more attention and potentially make it more popular. You might be able to do this through tools, videos or even through your content; whatever it may be just try to stand out from everyone else in a good and unique way.

Readers

The most important thing that a blogger can do is listen to his/her readers. It is not all about you, it is all about the reader. You can have a great blog, but if you ignore your readers sooner or later they will ignore you and even stop reading your blog. So don't leave your readers stranded, make sure you listen and respond to them. You don't always have to do what they want, but you have to listen.

Square Of Number (Fastest Approach)

noreply@blogger.com (Suryakar) — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 01:25:00 +0000

Number containing 5 at the end:

Getting square of a number ending in 5 is simple.If the last digit contain 5, the last 2 digit of square will be 25 ,whatever the earlier part of number multiply it with one more than itself.

For example: 35²=(3*4)|25
45²=(4*5)|25

Number containing 1 and 6 at the end:
First observe the following:

1²=1=1
2²=4=1+3
3²=9=1+3+5
4²=16=1+3+5+7
5²=25=1+3+5+7+9

Above shows that to get n² ,we add upto first n odd number. for example :

16²=sum of first 16 odd number

There from above we conclude that:

26²=25²+26th odd number i,e 625+51=676

31²=900+31st odd number i,e 900+61=961

Number containing 4 and 9 at the end:

Let's take example:

29²=30²- 30th odd number

34²=35²- 35th odd number

Number containing 7 at the end:

27²=26²+27 odd nomber= 25²+26th odd number+27th odd number

The sum of the 26th odd number and 27th odd number is same as 4 times 26. Hence,

27²=25²+4*26 =625+104 =729

77²=5625+304(4 times 76) = 5929

Number containing 3 at the end:

53²= 55²-4 times 76 = 3025-216=2809

93²=9025- 376=8649
