19. How do I maximize revenue with the Gokita program?
    Get started!  If you have not used Gokita, you have left yourself out of a revenue stream for your site.  If you so much as have a small space on your site that is left unsold, place a Gokita code on it. Something is better than nothing!
    
    Place our ad code within your content!  As you add the ad code into your site, we'll index your web site where the code is placed to determine which ads are to be seen.  Ads seen on pages with closely related content receive higher click-throughs.
    
    Place coding on pages with content.  When ads are seen on pages that have useful information, ads will have a higher probability of being read and clicked.
    
    Don't cheat.  Do not click on the Gokita Ads on your own site to increase your revenue.  If you cheat, you will be removed from our program and all payments will be forfeited.
20. Is Gokita really giving away USD$15 to each publisher account? What's the catch?
    There's no catch! Every Publisher will be given USD$5 upon approval of their Publisher sign-up. To earn an extra USD$10 though, Publishers will need to provide a link-back to Gokita.com on the main page of their website.
21. How does Gokita pay its Publishers?
    We currently only support check payments.
22. How much will I earn with Gokita?
    The ads you display on your web site are cost-per-click (CPC) ads. This means that advertisers pay only when users click on ads. You'll receive a portion of the amount paid for clicks on ads on your website. This amount starts at 50% of the click value and increases based on your web sites performance. We'll send you a check in US dollars for your account balance within 30 days after the end of each calendar month that Gokita ads are running on your site if your earned balance is US $50 or more.
    
    You can view your earnings at any time by logging in to your Gokita Publisher account at http://www.gokita.com and clicking the Traffic Report link. You'll be able to see the total number of impressions, clicks, average earnings per ad, and your total earnings so you can get an idea of how well the program is performing for you and how much you can expect to earn over time in the program.
23. How often will I be paid?
    Payments are posted by the 25th of each month for the previous months activity.  If the amount to be paid is less than USD$50.00, the balance is carried to the following month and will continue to do so until the $50 minimum is reached.
24. I have alot of traffic on my site on a daily basis, and I know people are clicking through ads, yet my revenue has stayed the same for quite some time now. What is going on?!
    After reviewing your statistics it looks like all clicks are being tracked. Please keep in mind that repeat clicks are filtered out as invalid clicks.

30. Which countries do you service for Publishers

31. Why do I only see ads for Gokita?
    The most common reason you are seeing advertisements for Gokita instead of our advertisers is due to a country restriction.  Publishers that access their sites from a country we do not service will see only house served ads (non-commissionable).  This does not mean you are only showing these ads.  Every time a visitor views a page on your site that contains the Gokita Ad Code, we check their country of origin.  If the country is one we service, Advertiser ads will be shown in place of the Gokita house ads.
32. I'm currently using Google Adsense on my site. Can I use Gokita Ads on my site with Google Adsense?
    Yes you can. The Gokita Team has contacted the Google Adsense team to seek a clarification from Google themselves. And they approve of it. Visit this page to read the communication between the Gokita Team and the Google Adsense team:
