Hi Paul,
You're probally correct that saying such things won't help me make 'friends' on this forum, although it would be a fairly boring place without diversity of opinion or personality.
It's not underhand tactis or anything else to be clicking away on these ads, but just demonstrates a weakness of the 'pay per click' system.
I think redfly said he had experience with the low quality of traffic from
ppc campaigns and let's be realistic here... it makes no sense at all to rely on the 'good nature' of internet users to only click on ads where they have a genuine interest or intent of buying services.
I'm sure you are well aware of the exploits and vunrabilities associated with
ppc. If weaknesses are there they need to be addressed and debated.
