ExoClick Joins The Ranks of Brainfox (And Other Crappy 3rd-Tier Search Engines)
While my initial test of Exoclick seemed promising, long-term results make me question whether it’s worth using at all. I want to believe that it will send me quality traffic at 1.3 cents per click, but it looks more and more like Brainfox-quality traffic (and that’s about the worst traffic you can get.)
See, I’ve been checking things out, and even when Exoclick sends me 100 clicks to a specific page, 0 of those show up in Google Analytics. Their traffic used to show up, but it looks like there are too many spammers partaking in Exoclick these days.
(I should point out that some campaigns do get traffic from the actual Exoclick search engine, but I think the problems stem from some scammers in the content network that are ruining things for everyone.)
I guess the time has come where we’re limited to Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

Click here to buy me a beer, because damn, I need to get drunk to forget how much internet marketing sucks!
I beg to differ, there is a worse kind of traffic, blogrush traffic
Thanks for the update Sucker. I was actually planning to use them after reading your previous post.
Oh yes, BlogRush is probably worse, but at least you’re not paying per click!
And Blogrepreneur, it’s too bad about Exoclick, I was hoping to continue using them for a long time
But I guess it’s inevitable that spammers take over the small services and drive us to only use the monopolies in the PPC market…
I never stray from the big 3 anymore. I’ve been burned every time I do.
I still use blogrush and blogrepreneur…not worth it for the dollars
