Chitika Linx
Chitika also allows you to make money by incorporating their Linx code into your site. Following is how Chitika Linx works;
Linx will automatically identify key products/keywords mentioned in the content on a website or blog and hyperlink (double underline) those keywords to interactive paid (CPC-based) product listings featuring best deals, offers and promotions from name brand merchants. When users mouse-over these links, a small bubble-like scroll over is revealed listing offers from merchants

Good post and nice review i keep meaning to give them a try but never get round to it maybe i should.
Give it a try Bro – Sign-up link is given above
Since they’ve changed their model to CPM, I couldn’t get any more from them
But it seems to work for some people, so I guess you can only give it a try to your blog first before deciding
You Hit it Right Bro – The only big opportunity with CPC turned CPM. Lets give it a try.
While my AdSense revenue has been consistently growing I’ve been on the lookout for another decent PPC system. Chitika looks good. I’m gonna give it a try.
