    Has anyone tried ask.com pay-per-click advertising???
    I spent over $500 there and the traffic that I receive from the clicks did not convert. I was wondering if ask.com had a high rate of click fraud.

    None of the $500 you spend converted? what are you selling? Most likely click fraud. I believe there are a lot of click fraud going with a lot of these things. For example when I put up a link on someone websites, every 16 visit I get, some one buys something, But with google adword or yahoo, its more like every 80 visits someone buys.

    There are several services out there especially for PPC advertising to protect you against click fruad. Next time you invest, I'd recommend tracking your clicks.

    I didn't even know that Ask.com had a PPC program - must be part of their new image. ;) I'd be interested in reports from others who've used the program, if there are any out there...

    Wow! That's a lot of money to get no return! I've never tried pay-per-click sites before.

    I tried using Ask with the other major PPC search engine ad providers and found them to be very weak. I had much success with Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft but Ask sucked big time in comparison. I think Ask has a ton more click fraud than the others.
