How to insert Chitika eMinimal advertising into the post

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 an 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.

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

Quick Snippets drop-down menu

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

Chitika keywords dialog

Click OK to set keywords.

NOTE: You can modify the "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.


The program will display information message about inserted javascript code:

Information message

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

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

Inserted HTML code

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

Question: How to add floating advertising with the text wrapped around it?

Answer: Go to "Tools" menu and select "Manage Quick Snippets". The Quick Snippets editor will appear.
Find "Chitika" quick snippet and change the code by adding div style for the 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 the quick snippet content code like this:

<div style="DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 10px 0px 0px">
<script type="text/javascript" ><!--
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 src="http://scripts.chitika.net/eminimalls/mm.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div>
