Chitika have done something that I put on my wishlist to them almost 12 months ago and have made the link to Chitika in their multi product eMiniMalls an affiliate link (announcement – aff).
So now when another publisher sees your ads and clicks the link to see what ad system you’re using you make 10% of their first year’s earnings if they sign up.
This is a nice move and is a good little bonus for publishers – however I’m confused as to why they’re only doing it on their multi-product units and not their normal eMiniMalls or their shoplincs.
PS: now if we could just get AdSense to do this with their ‘Ads by Goooogle’ links!
It would be great if Google will do it to with AdSense. Instead of Advertise here I would prefer my referral link.

The other units will be enabled in the next couple of days. Due to the large number of normal eMiniMall ad formats and the complexity of the design on some of them (PS: We call it the “battle of the pixels”), enabling the other units was a lot more work. So we coupled it with a bunch of other enhancements to the units that will be rolled out in the next couple of days.
