V7N Advertiser - Clicksor - Thoughts?
Has anyone tried Clicksor for generating traffic. I see they are a V7n advertiser and it appears John wouldnt allow just anyone on here.
Their Pop-Under traffic is .003 per visitor. Has anyone tried this? Is it worth the price?
On the same note, I have heard pop under traffic is as bad as a spam email, unwanted and obtrusive.
I would like to hear anyones opinions on this as I am thinking about trying one of their campaigns.
It appears you can really select your category to a good niche even using the pop under. I am not sure how they can guarantee this or if the visitors or even relevant, but would love to hear some opinions.
Thanks!

Look at it this way, me, and I guess everyone else, just closes any pop under, or pop up window. Did a window that popped up and was closed immediately count as a "view"? The answer to that is yes and therefor it's not worth it, it doesn't bring any "real" traffic that actually reads what's on your pages, all it does for your money is give you a bad rep for being one of those annoying pop under people.

Well what about their no-popunder traffic? Such as text links/banners?

I agree on the pop under traffic. I assummed that they charged per click, not per pop up as 99% of people close them immediately.
Has anyone tried their other forms of traffic? I assume someone has if they are advertising to this forum.

I have tried their PPC program. Got a lot of clicks for cheap, but no real conversions.

I signed up for their PPC program for a few bucks just as a feeler.
Its been over 24 hours and my account is still pending, although they did deduct the funds from my card immediately.

I use clicksor for inline ads, mainly because I couldn't find a DIFFERENT company offering the same thing..I use with Google Ads, but only inline ads!!

Verdicts in!
Clicksor pop under traffic is crap. As expected you are charged evertime the pop up shows regardless of if it is clicked.
Also I ended up payin .004, not .003 per view. Not that its a huge difference, but its not whats advertised.
I'm going to put the rest of my clicksor funds to a different campaign.

LOL...I agree on the old school.
I put a few bucks in each campaign to see the results.
Overall, not satisfied. However, their affiliate program gives the referred 5 bucks for every account it looks like.

I agree, I actually got used to just deleting them right away! I love inline ads, does any other company offer inline ads?

Can you link to an example of the inline ads used optimally for reference?
