Google AdSense is an excellent option for publishers like us to monetize traffic. As Google AdSense allow only 3 ad units per page, we have good amount of space left empty on the blog.

On Tech Dreams today we started experimenting with Chitika Premium Ads to displays advertisements for visitors landing on us through search engines. Chitika Premium Ads are displayed only to US visitors who finds our pages through search engines. Visitors from outside USA does not see these ads anywhere on our site.

Donald, Chitika answer to your question is Yes. At http://chitika.com/publishers/, there is Q & A says

Gopinath, thanks for the tip! One more question, is it okay to put adsense and chitika together in just one blog? thanks!
I am using adsense with my other blogs. Do you know which is better, chitika or adsense? I would like to try chitika but I’m quite confused with their site interface. I don’t know how to use them and I don’t know the difference between the premium ads and ordinary ads.
Donald,
Adsense is the must to for every blogger. If you are looking for extra perks, you can try Chitika. Will post my experience with Chitika soon.
