Need More Chitika Keywords

November 20, 2005


The thing about Chitika is that you need to build up a big list of keywords. Otherwise, you are seeing the same products over and over again… and that’s no good. I am going to work on that when I get some time.

I e-mailed a suggestion to them, as well. From my e-mail:

I have a little suggestion. Right now, it seems to me that when an eMiniMall takes a term that we give it, it displays the top item for that term from the place that you are using to get the items. My thoughts on this is that their must be more than one option for a lot of terms. For instance “digital camera”. If I put in that term and refresh the ad over and over, it displays the same camera. But, there is more than one that can be displayed through Chitika. Would it be possible to make it so that we could get more than that first/top item. For instance, have it randomly select between the top 5 for a search term or something like that? That would help more products get displayed which would equal less stale ads which would, hopefully, equal more interest from users.

I think that would help with the randomization.
