paid to click are scam to advertiser

marigot · 04-17-2007

I don't know how people cannot see these "paid to click" plans for what they are. I read this sob story the other day on one of the internet sites about why people should sign up for the paid to click service.

Basically it was about this person who buys her groceries from her check from clicking on google ads and other ppc systems.

So maybe the company providing the paid to click is really paying people and isn't ripping the clickers off but that doesn't make the company legal or even legitimate.

I mean they just ruin the system for everyone. The advertiser is being beat out of his advertising money and the website owner may be banned for invalid clicks.

just my 2 cents

thats a bullcrap thing, their are people that sit their clicking ads to get paid but then google slams the site with a click fraud statement, and refunds the cash to the advertiser. sometimes even without any proof that it was click fraud, even if it just seems like clickfraud.

this isnt the PPC designs idea, the same is true for CPM, people with proxys on auto refreshers, and running the sites through traffic exchanges and autosurfs....

advetisings a risk, no more than putting a billboard up and praying that someone actually pays attention to it.

most click fraud is easily caught, such as 1 ip noticed to be clicking many websites adsense in a set amount of time. or multiple clicks from same ip, or higher than average ctr... google and other ppc networks do a hella lot to defend the advertiser, its normally the publishers that get screwed.

The traffic is totally un targeted from paid to click programs and sometimes they even send robotic visitors which will only eat you website's bandwidth. Furthermore, be prepare to say Goodbye to your adsense account because they don't allow such traffic at all.

A few time ago there was a time when these click frauds were very common and majority of people was being attracted but now all of us know about it because it has a bad effect in aggregate business and performance . I think we are better implementors to implement anything ourself .

Yes paid per click sites brings loss to everyone ,the advertisers,the publishers
Unless some actions are taken regarding that,many publishers falls as a prey to it

every one is victim to it. But google is laughing all the way to the bank and sitting doing nothing at all.

Yes, i think they just bring loss and nothing else and i think mojority of the people are becoming victims to it. I think Google should take a step forward in that.
