Late last week it looks like GoClick, a company bought out by Marchex years ago, finally went offline.  While many people publicly blogged how they were sure that GoClick was nothing more than a third-tier click fraud site (because they didn’t know what they were doing), I had huge success with it, and I’m sorry to see it go.

For a long time I promoted some of my financial sites via GoClick.  For 1,2 or sometimes even a whopping 5cents a click, I got a decent amount of (somewhat targeted) traffic.  I kept an eye on the spending, and could go through perhaps as much as $40 a month (big spender, huh?).  That $40 spend would result in $200-300 in revenue from Financial Affiliate Marketing and another $200-300 (or more – once I made $750 in one month) from contextual ads like AdSense and YPN.  It was easy money.  With the low priced ads, you can afford a lot of ‘fraudulent’ clicks and still make a profit.

Now that GoClick is offline, I’ll have to push more of my efforts to other places.  Lucky for me, there are still plenty of places to spend my money and get decent traffic – such as ExoClick and Bidvertiser.  I’ll be on there soon, and if you’re smart (and you enjoy money), you’ll be looking them up as well.

And  yes, these are affiliate links. I just told you how to make some nice cash, so I don’t see a problem.
