Spend $5 I got 500 visit but no sales on GOCLICK.

Today I signup with GOCLIK. I spend $5 and I used very targeted keywords for my recipes and cooking website. I sure received 500 ""visits"" to my site, I actually saw my stats and yes I had 500 unique visit but something very weird happend.

NO CLICKS
NO SIGNUPS
NO NOTHING!!

I have adsense on my site and other affiliates that usually make me some money, I used to advertise with adwords but the keywords were very expensive, usually .15 and .25 so I decided to use GOCLICK since I found the same keywords for .01.

Is GOCLICK a SCAM or do they pay other people to click on their advertisers click.

I usually get 2-3 clicks per 100 visits, but when I received GOCLICK's traffic I got 1 click out of 500.

Can anyone explain this??
This is my site, you will see that it has good content and that google ads are placed in a good position. 800recipes.com

 

Goclick? What the heck is that? Why would you even use that thing? Stick to adwords.

 

I think ADWORDS are extremly expensive!!

 

It sure is better than throwing your money down the drain using some crappy unknown network

 

Yeah - GoClick isn't so great - I went through the same cycle you are going through. "AdWords seems to be too expensive, I will try 2nd (3rd, 4th...) tier PPC engines. Yikes! My conversion costs are greater than AdWords!"

Back to AdWords and playing with Yahoo a tad bit...

 

they probably pay other people to click on their advertisers click.

If it was good, they would not charge .01 per-click

 

If your making $1 for every .50 spend on adword then its worth it, but if your not making anything from it, then you need to try other things,

 

Yeh, I went through the same thing with goclick and other second teir ppc programs years ago. Things haven't changed.

 

I've had dismal returns with goclick .... at best. Thay don't cost much but you can burn through money fast with them and get nothing in return. Be glad you didn't lose much for your education.

 

An expensive program that gives you a 10% profit is always going to be better than a cheap program that gives you 0% profit. It is all about results: If Adwords is expensive but generates profit for you, put as much as you can into the Adwords ads, and then plow the profit back in so that you can buy more and more ads, thus increasing your return more.

Starting small with something that can grow is better than trying to start big with a program that produces no return.

 

try adbrite or a test on the facebook network
