That doesn't surprise me in the slightest, I'm testing a campaign today and it's getting good traffic but at high prices and there's alot of competitors with a very high profit margin.

You would have thought the target audience lets say would be impatient and there's a FreePhone number which isn't ringing so it's starting to stink a bit.

Nope unfortunately I'm using ASP.NET 2.0.
The ad relevancy and landing pages are half decent
I'm gonna look at the log files but I kind of expected this and can't say I've been surprised.

Apologies I might have been a bit hasty, I've just spoken to the client and seems there's been a few good leads. This doesn't stop me from being somewhat sceptical though about competitor's clicking especially if it's just casual clicks to see who their competitors are and the other types that are out to eat your budget.
