    I never even heard of them. Maybe it's a good thing. Only way to find out how good (or bad) they are is to give them a try, I suppose. Internet marketing can be sort of like Russian roulette now and then, can't it? :)

    The reason i quited the widgetbucks because they don't record all clicks.... imagine 1000 impressions of the leader board on the top of the website and NO click!! and no earning!!! :eek:

    This doesn't really prove anything until you can provide proof it actually happened - and as another poster pointed out, that the clicks weren't removed because they seemed fraudulent!

    I'm not necessarily saying that these companies are perfect - I'm sure many aren't, although you can work it out I guess if you track all your site statistics - but I do know that click fraud is on the up and up. In fact, it's becoming such a problem that advertisers are beginning to get a little antsy about the PPC model.

    Something to think about... PPC isn't actually a great system for advertisers unless they can be pretty certain they're only paying out for legitimate clicks - and that's getting more uncertain all the time.

    PPC is enjoying almost a trend status at the moment - but that can change VERY quickly if it stops being perceived as something that actually brings value to an advertisers' campaign. And its fall from grace would leave many in this forum high and dry.

    It's in everyone's interest (just about!) to try to keep things as legit as possible...

    i cannot proof it that they remove click but i know they are doing it because 6000 impressions and yet only 6 clicks... but same impression at bidvertiser and i get more then 60 clicks.... so people knows what they are doing... and since there is no evidence left by them so nothing anyone can proof as they remove all the proof.... anyway i drop them 2 months ago... and only keep them as referral because i have lots of referrals inside my account that starting to generate money for me money :D

    and since they remove my earnings and clicks so it proves they are scam...:D and no i never have any fraud click problems from my visitors not i ask anyone to click for me.... i have been using lots of different networks and never removed my clicks claming of fraudulent clicks....
