Do you guys think it is still worthwhile to start a Pay per Click program? Assuming that there's sophisticated anti-fraud devices in place and there's a third party counting system, would it be worth the trouble?

I forward my traffic that I have a hard time converting to pay per click programs still. If you choose to do ppc make sure the programs has a reasonable conversion ratio or you may be promoting them for a month simply to have them not pay you at the end due to your conversion ratio.

I can recommend Nex-Cash in my sig if your looking for one that doesn't require conversion ratios. 3.5 cents per click is good enough for me :P

Pay per click?! You want to lose your shirt?

You should try CTC as a thirdparty counter. The problem with a per click model is that many webmasters would only divert crap traffic to it since they make more money with their quality traffic using PPS. Just my

Looks like 3.5 cents per second click. Can you show me an example of the page you have to send to?

No agreement with Pseudo Patent companies maybe?

Pay per click is the future. I'm convinced. For a while mainstream followed in porn's footsteps but it's about time adult got with the times. Google's adwords set the new standard for mainstream marketing and most people have started promoting them heavily.

The trick here is conversions. It'd have to be content targetted search feed results like google's. Paysites would bid on terms and get quality clicked traffic in return. Webmasters wouldn't have to worry about filtering their traffic and trying to make bank off only a few sponsors they had to hand pick.

The natural progression is the paysite owners optimize their PPC campaigns to get the most bang for their buck. The free site owners get to serve better targetted advertising to their surfers and let the pros worry about converting the traffic.

It'd eliminate garbage traffic to paysites thus creating better conversion ratios and higher bid competition, thus generating the small webmaster more cash. Everyone does what they do best. If you're good at selling you make the high converting site. If you're good at managing traffic you work on sending the hits.

Then it might be feasable for small guys to buy a content set, make a page with good keywords and content and get the clicks rolling in.

I agree, I think the key to survive is give your customer what they want and not try to trick them or click on something that you are trying to push. sites with great content and no funny business will be the top dawgs.
