The link above is to a discussion forum that had similar problems to the ones I had with Chitika. The comments on my original posts from a Chitika rep claim that this was impossible, but I have found several instances in the last two weeks where Chitika ads were hijacking web pages and causing pop-ups – even porn.
I used to like Chitika and I haven’t pulled it from one of my low yield websites, but I will not put it on my higher quality sites until I get some kind of guarantee that they will prevent this kind of behavior in the future.
Chitika is using a Right Media reseller to fill their CPM inventory. right Media’s inventory is full of RON crap….spam ads, blinking OMG YOU WON ads, popups, malware….just crap. You’re supposed to be better than this, chitika. Whoever made this decision, from the top down, is a fool.

Ya know, these companys that permit there advertising to be donethrough pop up ads are stupid, i am battling this ron’s ad pop up crap trying to figure out how to get rid of it and i have been writing down every ad that has been on there and am not and will not ever support their company by purchasing their products and i will take the time to send them a nasty gram.
