ChitikaI shared some Chitika eMinimalls information and tips with you. Here I let you know how to hide the “Search” tab on the ads.

Hide Chitika eMinimalls search tab

Chitika eminimalls ads without search tab

Simply add a new line of code: ch_nosearch = 1; in your existing eMinimalls code.

Example:

ch_non_contextual = 1;
ch_nosearch = 1;
var ch_queries = new Array('keyword', 'keyword');
var ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));
ch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];

Thought

Does remove “Search” tab increase clicks? I am not sure yet but at least now you have one more option about the ads.

Update: You are REQUIRED to hide “Search” tab if you are using Google Adsense search in the same page.

  • Thanks. Quite handy, though I've not tried the search yet. What does happen when someone uses it?

    Cheers.
  • LcF
    If user use the search, it will swtich to a related product in the ads.
  • is that allowed by chitika's team?

    it's great if we can also modify other parameters as well :P
  • LcF
    Darren is hidding "Search" tab. If he can, why can't we? :)
    Dig in the chitika javascript code for more hidden parameters.
  • How many page impressions does a blog need to join Chitika? Someone plz answer? Thanks! :)
  • i don't remember any page views or visits requirement for chitika, even if there is, don't worry it won't be too high else i wouldn't be able to join when my portable gadgets blog was just started.
  • almost forgot, thanks lcf, nice tip :)
  • But is the search tab not a good idea? It allows you to find a better product without leaving your site, and if users like it - click the new product. Does this violate the TOS in any way?
  • LcF
    Quick Online Tips: I am testing ads without search tab. I don't see why it will violate the TOS. I am contacting Chitika to confirm it.
  • Hi LcF,

    Just a note, here is what I found in Chitika TOS:
    Code Modification: The Paid Listings ad code must be pasted, without modification, into web pages.

    I doubt we can modify any code, same goes to Google AdSense.

    Please be aware. :)
  • LcF
    But we modify Chitiika code so that it can be placed in the same page with Adsense?
  • I just tried using the auto code generator in Chitika website, and I found just simple colour attributes only, no other attributes.
  • LcF
    the code generator in Chitika website is very basic only. Feature like specified ads keyword also need to manually add.
  • HmMMm... left only the question whether to breach the TOS of chitika by altering the code then.
  • if you read this post at Quick Online Tips, Chitika's stuff even gave him tips for using brand names as keywords. So it can't be wrong ;)
  • Jimmy
    Only got around 50c click/per with eMinimalls

    I am just wondering what are everyone's experience?
  • The code to remove chitika search is required in case you use adsense for search. I have updated the chitika + Adsense post.
  • LcF
    Yes, I updated this article as well. Thank you, Quick Online Tips.
  • The search tab does not need to be hidden. As per latest confirmation from Google the search tab in Chitika does not search the web - just Chitika's site, so it's not in violation of Google TOS.
