How to Target Chitika to Your Wordpress Search Page

When we talk about Search, the first thing which flashes inside your brain is Adsense for Search, but many publisher don’t implement Adsense for Search on their blogs or websites mainly because its very poor performing, some clicks pay as low as $0.01, so why not use Chitika instead of Adsense for Search ?

Yesterday, I wrote about contextualizing Chitika Ads by sniffing your post’s title. Using the same optimization technique you can show ads related to your users search query.

First, Lets start by generating your Chitika eMiniMall code from your Chitika Dashboard, now change the following line:

[code lang="javascript"]var ch_queries = new Array( );[/code]

To this:
[code lang="javascript"]var ch_queries = new Array("< ?php echo wp_specialchars($s); ?>");[/code]

Then paste your Chitika eMiniMall code anywhere inside your template’s search.php From my previous experiments, Chitika works best if properly placed within your search page.

Let me know if this technique helped you increase your Chitika revenue.
