Using Chitika eMiniMalls Alternate URLs

December 1st, 2005

Alternate URLs have been released within Chitika. With this feature Chitika will display your alternative ad when a visitor is from a non-eligible location (i.e. 3rd world country).

You can set it by building the Chitika eMiniMalls through the Chitika website.

If you’ve already produced your code you can easily add it in.

For existing users who have already deployed code, you can add this line to the code (anywhere after the line with ch_client but before the line with /script). You need to replace the XXXX below with a valid URL like “http://yourdomain.com/chitika.html”.

ch_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.yourdomain.com/altad.xxx";

My suggestion is to use PHPAdsNew and generate a .php file with your alternate ad, place that .php file on your server and point Chitika’s Alternative URL to that file.
