Chitika 2 confused "other Alex"--case study wasn't about you! but thanks for reading
Hi Alex,
Liz Sloan here from Chitika. Glad to hear your read our latest case study, but oops….the "Alex" we featured isn't you….Trust me, we checked. =D
With over 500 advertisers in our network, and more than a dozen Alex's, this is kinda understandable, and we will careful to include last names in all future testimonials. However, one thing we can’t understand this identity mix-up...doesn't add up...You see:
Out of the multiple advertisers registered with the first name Alex, we only have a few with diet-related campaigns, and out of this few, only one Alex—our featured advertiser Alex —meet the criteria at hand: 1.) a keyword-targeted campaign. 2.) campaign targeted to the keywords featured in the case study; including ‘Rachael Ray’, ‘acai berry’, and ‘wu yi’. And it’s definitely not you.
Again...we checked.
Per Chitika’s strictly-enforced PR policy, we will only promote, or make reference to, an advertiser from our network if we have full, written permission from said advertiser—MEANING….we would not, and have not, everrrr used the first name, last name, full name, campaign information, stats, etc. of any advertiser without asking first. So again, definitely not you.
Take care Alex! Cheers.
- Liz
So I go and check my e-mail, and this subject grabs my attention.
"Rachael Ray helps Chitika advertiser get more clicks. Learn how."
Being curious by nature, I click. Turns out Chitika decided to do a case study on a publisher, me, without asking for permission. They even use my first name throughout the e-mail. Here's the e-mail that got sent out:
Now obviously everyone here on wf knows Rachael Ray and Oprah are da bomb, but I'm sure that all the noobs using chitika don't. Giving away my campaign without asking first is retarded. Also, why the fuck are they featuring my campaign when they can only manage to send 200 clicks a day ?
Really shitty network overall, I'm gonna stay away from them from now on and I suggest you do the same.
