AdSense Alternative: goClick.com
goClick.com claim on their site that their pay-per-click engine delivers 6 billion targeted searched a month, which is a significant number in any currency!
Their PPC advertising works on a debit account system, meaning that whenever you want ads to run on the goClick network, you must pre-pay money into your account in order for it to happen.
This also means that when your funds run out, then your advertising stops as well, which can be viewed as either as good thing or a bad one.
It might be viewed as a bad thing for the obvious reason that you want your ads to be running, and they are not going to do so until you make another payment. On the other hand, it can work out well because it allows you to set an absolute spending limit, meaning that you will never receive an invoice from goClick.
Minimum account funding is only $10 for new accounts ($25 for existing accounts) so that the site does present an
opportunity to launch your own PPC advertising campaign with very little money upfront.
goClick claim that by allowing their advertisers to place ads on your site or blog that you are partnering with a site whose network handles over 350 million individual searches per month!
They also suggest that they refuse to partner with many networks that other PPC sites and programs are happy to work with because they realize that ROI (return on investment) is the top priority of any marketer, which is clearly true.
Plus, it is accepted that goClick, whilst it is perhaps not one of the most widely spoken of PPC networks, it is nevertheless extremely well established and highly rated by ‘industry insiders’.
For example, they have been around since September 2000 and are rated by PayPerClickSearchEngines.com, one of most widely respected and oldest of the PPC review sites, as being the #3 overall in the ‘league table’ of all PPC programs.
And yet, I have heard from various knowledgeable sources that goClick clicks are amongst the cheapest in the industry for advertisers, and this would make me wonder how much they can afford to payout to site and blog owners in this case.
Lower incomes being generated from advertisers obviously equates to lower payouts for anyone carrying these adverts.
So, goClick.com may well be worth trying, but I would definitely suggest that you keep a close eye on how well you are getting paid for the ads that you attract clicks to.
