But if you have a large visitor base from countries like US and Canada, you can earn a good money from Chitika.

No ad networks are really huge money makers unless you write great content on your website or blog. And for Indian bloggers, if one ad network is good and making money for me, it may not be the case in your case. it may totally fail to make money for you. Making money from advertising depends upon the content in your blog, the visitors you are getting and the ads you are being served with. So my personal suggestion is do a research using one or two ad network on your blog and if it is not making good money for you, then dump it and try some other. There you may meet your luck. But if no ad network is making money for you then quit blogging and join an academy for a degree in blogging and SEO. I'm just kidding. Keep trying and writing great content and when it will be worthy to make money from your content, you will definitely make money from it.
