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.

[...] After reading this post, I found out that Chitika’s Search tab must be hidden in order to comply with AdSense for Search TOS. So, I made a quick update to my [CA] Chitika plugin and add additional parameter to display/hide the search tab. The code to hide the tab is based on LiewCF’s post here. [...]

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

the code generator in Chitika website is very basic only. Feature like specified ads keyword also need to manually add.

I just tried using the auto code generator in Chitika website, and I found just simple colour attributes only, no other attributes.

But we modify Chitiika code so that it can be placed in the same page with Adsense?

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.

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.

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?

Darren is hidding “Search” tab. If he can, why can’t we?
Dig in the chitika javascript code for more hidden parameters.
