Aside from Google Adsense, another money-earner for this site is Chitika.
Chitika is one of the largest search-targeted advertising networks. Their ads only appear to visitors coming from the search engines especially those from US and UK. To see what a Chitika ad looks like in this site, check this out.
Unlike Adsense which requires a minimum payment threshold of $100 before they pay you, Chitika only requires $10. You can also have an option for payment by check or by PayPal. I chose the latter.
I applied for a Chitika publisher account last May and integrated their ads to this site. Four months later, I have earned $47.40 from them. Yes, already eligible for a payout.
Here’s a screenshot of my earnings progression:
You can see that I only made a pitiful $1.03 during my 1st month. From May to July, I only earned $8.53 which was below the $10 minimum payment threshold. But on August, I made $38.40. Thanks BJ Penn and Kenny Florian for this.
So last September 30, my 4-month Chitika earning of $47.40 was sent to my PayPal account.
Now, aside from Google Adsense (from which I already received my second payout), I have Chitika as another legitimate source of money online.
You too can apply for a Chitika publisher account by clicking their logo below:

Good luck!

I earned $114.49 on my first check with google and they cancelled my account the day they were going to cut my check. I had already amassed $another $99.00 and they cut me. I was very upset but I have since switched over to Chitika and hoping I can do just as well as google or better. Google was paying me around !1.50 per click at the time they cancelled my account. I am wondering if there;s a way to rejoin Google in the future?

They said for invalid clicks. How could someone avoid invalid clicks?

You should never, ever click on your own ads. Period.

That’s a tough one when you are working on your site and mistakenly click on your ad. How could someone avoid a mistake like that?

Accidentally clicking on your ads once or twice is permissible. But if you repeatedly click on the ads voluntarily, that’s where the penalty comes in.
