How to insert Chitika eMinimals directly into your posts

Chitika eMinimals is a new way to extend revenue from your blog. Despite of traditional adsense or banners eMinimals are interactive and you get paid for clicks.

In Post2Blog you can copy and paste HTML code for eMinimal and insert into your posts but you can also automate insertion of eMinimals to your post using Quick Snippets.

Important Note: To insert the Adsense advertising code into your posts you should use a blog engine that allows application of javascript code inside post, for example: Movable Type. If you use WordPress then please install Script Enabler plugin (for WP prior to version 2 install TextControl plugin ) so javascript advertising code won't be removed by WordPress built-in formatting engine.

Sample Chitika code is added into the one of quick snippets so you can call it by clicking on Quick Snippets menu (or simply press CTRL+2):

Keywords dialog will appear asking you to enter keywords for eMinimal:

Click OK to set keywords.

NOTE: You modify "Chitika" quick snippet later through "Tools" - "Manage Quick Snippets" menu and remove the following line:

var ch_queries = new Array($$COMMA_SEP_TEXT_ARRAY$$);

so program won't ask you to enter keywords anymore.

Program will display information message about inserted javascript code:

Click OK and javascript code that shows eMinimal will be added to the post. Please note that all javascript tags in visual HTML editor are displayed as <SCRIPTTAG> to help you manage and identify javascript parts:

You can check generated HTML code by switching to "HTML Code" tab:

When you add post to the blog you will see Chitika eMinimal inside your post:

Question: How to add floating advertising so text wraps advertising?

Answer: Go to "Tools" menu and select "Manage Quick Snippets". Quick Snippets editor will appear.

Find "Chitika" quick snippet snippet and change code by adding div style for advertising block:

Add <div style="DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 10px 0px 0px"> at then beginning and

</div> at the end. So you should have quick snippet content code like this:

ch_client = "EDIT_THIS_QUICK_SNIPPET_AND_SET_YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE";

ch_width = 180;

ch_height = 150;

ch_color_border = "#FFFFFF";

ch_color_bg = "#FFFFFF";

ch_color_title = "#0000FF";

ch_color_text = "#0000FF";

ch_non_contextual = 1;

ch_nosearch = 1 ;

var ch_queries = new Array($$COMMA_SEP_TEXT_ARRAY$$);

var ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));

ch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];

//--></script>

</script>

</DIV>
