Warning about "Click packages"!!!!!!!!

Those companies who guarantee a number of clicks deliver on it by using outside sources who can use modified IPs and other methods to disguise where the click is coming from.  They usually come in spurts at the end of the guarantee period.  Hey, they promised and fulfilled the promise.  They did not guarantee WHERE in the world you would get the clicks and you did not specify which ones you would pay for.  If your clicks increase by a factor of 50 shouldn't the emails requesting quotes and the phone calls and the bookings and the sales reflect that increase?  ClickThrus are crap, paying a commission based on an affiliate program you run or a company like Commission Junction handled for you - that makes sense.

Impressions and clickthrus make as much sense as the price guidelines set by the yellow page publisher who says the justification for the rate is the number of homes your ad can be viewed in (yours and every other CC in the area).  Even they should be made to take the risk of getting paid based on outcome and not on POTENTIAL outcome.

Most of those click artists are snakes in the grass.  Caveat Emptor. 

If you are willing to move overseas to India, China, Russia, be in the Pacific Rim or live in the Philippines which I understand is not bad - and do a water damage business on the side with all the typhoons - yeah!
