SEO and Marketing

Clicksor considered by some to be the next best Adsense alternative. You can display as many ad blocks as you like. You can even run your ads on adult websites. The only downside i have managed to find were the slowdowns. Every now and then the ads would slow down and take sometimes minutes to appear. This seems to be fixed now.

So i have been with Clicksor for a number of years now. The other night i noticed my number of clicks flying through the roof. Could this be a result of clickbombing? It turns out the clicks were legit. Clicksor has a nice little Inline text link feature. Basically when you paste a bit of code into your page their script will then scan for various keywords and turn them into ads. Have a look at the image bellow.

Can you see the underlined keywords “register” and “free”? These are not links to registration page. These are ads and whenever someone clicks on them i get a few cents. Do you see where im going now?

I have been using this technique for quite some time now. For example i would provide my users with some file they really want to download. Right bellow the file thumbnail i would write something along the lines of: “Download now”. The actual download link would appear 200 or so pixels bellow. I then add contextual inline ads code provided by Clicksor. What would happen in most cases is that eventually “Download now” will get underlined and turned into the link. As a result almost every user will click on the ad thinking it is a download link. Have a look at the screenshot bellow.
