What ever you do, avoid goclick.com!!!!!

    I signed up for a $50 - 500 click package. Traffic stared following almost instantly but as I monitored it I noticed there were strange sites and many of the urls have something like adware tag, "fun" something or other. I usually get 1 free evaluatrion signup per 50 clicks -- got none of course through them.

    I am hoping Mastercard gives me the money back.

    I haven't used then enough to say it's a scam, but the traffic was of poor quality. A lot of adult traffic on none adult keywords...

    I usually use AdWords and are happy with them, but I have also tried goclick. That was a bad experience, and a complete waste of money. Traffic came from crap sites, and noone stayed longer then 1-2 seconds. I also suspect there was alot of fradulent clicks with my goclick campaign.

    Hooray!! Mastercard refund my $50 when I showed them all the articles on "Goclick.com Scam" when you search Google.

    Business like Goclick.com should be put out of business!!

    I would also avoid Adbrite's Pay Per Click -- there flat rate text ads seem to be OK though -- with a few acceptions of sites in Vietnam and the Philippines.

    Goclick probably sends adult exit traffic via popup or they bombard one visitor with a bunch of popups and when the viewer closes the popup they count that as a "pageview", or something along those lines.

    hmmm
    that's funny stuff.
    I got a few sales from my latest goclick campaign

    Barely enough to brake even but i did make a small profit of $5 :D

    I'm going to test them again soon.
    I guess it depends on the market you are targetting :)

    i'v accually never heard of them before, but thanks for letting me know about them, sites like this should be closed down seriasly. It gives good honest peaple like us lot a sketchy feeling when signing up for stuff like this online. I'm soon planning to get a search engine up online with sponcored listings ect.. And stuff like this may have a bad effect on me. I really hope it gets sorted out and you get your money back.

    You guys just need to be creative, I am one of goclick's top 25 spenders, and not because I am losing money...

    People don't analyze situations for themselves, they rely on others exp.'s

    By doing that, you are limiting yourself to the knowledge of someone else. For all you know, they are the retarded kid down the street who works for the gas station during the night shift.

    Their traffic isn't a scam just really poor quality. I would recommend you stick to Overture or Google.
