    Well, for a start off it's not the most professional looking website, secondly, it has a Google PR0, which means there's not many people linking to it, so it's not going to generate much genuine traffic anyway.

    Plus

    I'd be suspicious of this dodgy testimonial - it's worse than those testimonials that say "whoo hoo this service rocks - DA from Washington"

    Did you report this to goclick? Its most likely a publisher doing this without the knowledge of goclick. I'm sure goclick would be only too happy to terminate such publishers.

    But then again I could be entirely wrong!

    I just don't think its right to blame goclick for this without really knowing the details and just for seeing goclick ads on a kiddie porn site. Would you call google a scam if I just put adsense ads on a kiddie porn site? (Not that I have any kiddie porn sites! :rolleyes: )

    It is good when people try to report sites that might be scamming people.

    I had very bad results with goclick - was totally junk traffic for me - Really hard to believe that they are actually sending real people to your site. From my trials over 1000 goclick visitors didnt add up to any revenue. That is when it would take me only 10 visitors (regular) to get some revenue - Total waste of time BS PPC. I have tried a heap of Cheap PPC solutions - You think wow at 1c a visitor I will make some money - Dont count on it. There is a reason why these solutions are cheap.

    I used GoClick too, it was my first experience with PPC, and... last with them.

    1000 visitors in less than 10 minutes...

    Yes I have to agree goClick www.goclick.com is a big scam I have a number of sites with AdSense on them and I setup a new sub-domain specifically for dating and its Made For AdSense (MFA).

    As goClick claim the following search results listed below

    Past Search: on goClick for dating
    ________________________________________________

    Keyword ----- 7 days ----- 30 days --- Clicks ---- Average Bid Price

    dating ------- 80900 ------ 339780 --- 29447 ---- 0.064252
    _________________________________________________

    Here is the idea as many of you already know, buy something cheap then sell it for a profit in this case clicks, as referred by Dr Patrick Hillenbrand http://www.adsensedecoded.com self proclaimed expert on AdSense, on his video the first site he mentions to buy clicks from is goClick obviously the good DR did not do his research and I give him a great big F (Fail) on this assignment as he is giving people advise on how to loose money.

    My average Page CTR is about 20.00% on my other sites with my dating site that is Made For AdSense (MFA) I got less then 2% CTR keep in mind that this site was only promoted thru goClick

    Here is my report from goClick
    Keyword --- Clicks --- Cost --- Avg CPC --- Avg Position
    dating ----- 205 ----- $7.87 -- 0.038 ------ 3.7


    Good thing I only deposited $10 in my account to try them out.
    205 visits 2 click please thats an insult to a baboons intelligent let alone to human.

    Conclusion
    I think the clicks from goClick are not real people but spiders.

    Do your home work before you part with a single cent..
    For example a search on Google
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=GoClick+what+a+scam&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

    Could have saved me 10 Bucks

    If you get burnt write an article its very therapeutic as this is my first post

    Cheers to all

    From my experience with them, I also think their traffic is junk. Useless clicks - no wonder why so cheap.
    iq200, if you your page CTR with them was 2% you should be happy. It is pretty high ratio with such kind of traffic.
