I’m making decent money on PPC, but that’s in another industry…
Unfortunately, the fraud hits every industry.
I bid $.03 on an untargeted category on goclick and had click bots all over the place. for 3 frickin’ cents!
I sent findwhat a list of partners sending fraudulent clicks. It’s been at least a month without answer despite constant update requests. The partners on the list are still sending fraudulent traffic every day…
I’m trying to issue a chargeback to looksmart, but it’s been a huge hassle, and who knows where it will go?
I reported a fraudster to 7search and they agreed that the partner was sending fraudulent clicks. However, they didn’t say anything about crediting me for those clicks, nor did they mention the fate of the partner.
Honestly, this shit has to stop. How long will we all sit around and let these PPC pricks take our money? Not using them is one thing, but demanding your money back and pushing for change in the industry is better by far.
They all have anti-fraud teams, but what the hell do they actually do…? I’m not all that confident they can tell their asses from a hole in the ground, let alone detect fraud and do something about it…
The PPC industry needs a serious wakeup call. We’re only going to get more careful with our money…
