    I just went to a site and clicked on one of the text links. I don't know if everyone is aware of this but they require 2 clicks. Here's the second screen clicked from anchor text 'alt tags'

    Yes, and because of that these ads are NOT for every kind of website. For example, I have a big site where I have a couple of CPM banners, plus one popunder. When a user finds something he likes and downloads it, I get paid a small comission. So, I'd rather have my visitors surf around my site and download something instead of making them click twice on an ad. They could always close the window when they get to that page, so you will be loosing a valuable visitor.

    However, on informational sites these ads are wonderful, people are actually looking for information, so if you present them a page full of targeted links related to what they are looking for it is almost sure that they will click.

    Yeah, I've got them on my site now. It'll be interesting to see the channel data tomorrow on how it performs.

    What I would be interested to see in the long run is how many click the first time then don't follow through with the revenue click? I think once you make the first click you would be pretty well comitted to the second one, but who knows?:confused:

    With ads 1 click is all you need to get payed, that we know.

    Thanks for the screenshot. I was wondering what the next screen looked like. I'm also awaiting the channel data. BTW, does anyone know why the channel report data is delayed for two days?

    Actually that is the second screen. When you click one of those links you will go to the site. To clarify here is the first screen:
