What evidence do you are anyone else have that these scammers are direct cohorts and/or colluding with the search engines Google /overture/yahoo/any-all PPC ?
The ppc se doesn’t have to be connected to pay2click programs themselfs, but most likely it’s their affiliates that does those things.
Cheaters are getting more sophisticated and using various scripts to try to ‘beat’ the ppc se script. Ppc se’s update their scripts and manually check affiliates for cheats. Anyone with a half decent program will do what they can to prevent cheats.
Someone also wrote that ppc se’s don’t care if pay2click programs are using their links since they get paid. As a ppc se owner I have to disagree with that. Not everyone is out for a quick buck, but trying to build up a solid business that will last.
My 2 clicks errr cents
