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?

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

If you are asking about the theme I have used, check out wptown.com
They have beautiful themes. They are only for WordPress however.

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.

Working at Chitika you have the opportunity to build a career, rather than occupy a job and work alongside a group of smart, ambitions and driven colleagues who inspire one another to achieve personal greatness every day.
