I have heard of them, but they are nothing to speak of. It is amazing that these people bother to send out emails like this.

Never heard of them either...but then again it seems as if PPCs are popping up all over the place. This must make a dozen or so PPCs I've been "introduced" to in just the past three months!~ :rolleyes:

Important to remember when entering any PPC campaign, that one should have the means to review referrals and ensure the engine is generating unique targeted traffic. Bogus clicks can be a problem if sufficient fraud protection mechanisms are not in place...but the sole responsibility rests with the web master, and they should be technically savvy enough to determine the legitimacy of any referral traffic. Otherwise, it is no different then setting an entire bowl of candy out on Halloween with a sign which says take one only. The honor system may work great 90% of the time, but it only takes one to rob your entire bowl!~
