A company called ExpoActive appears to be sending out spam [got one today] offering high CPC to specific sites, even asking people to place ads on specific deep linked pages that match the relevance of the ad.

Some information I could find online suggests that they require a 3-ad unit display and only include tracking code on one link which is the high paying CPC ad. The claims are the other 2 ads don't appear to track so you get a 1 in 3 shot at high paying CPC.

Anyone have any experience with this company that can verify any of this?

if that 1 in 3 deal is correct, they can take a run and jump.

Maybe we can try this one again. Does anyone have experience with ExpoActive?

I gave up considering them as nothing I read after researching them via Google was terribly positive so far and they do seem to be soliciting all customers via SPAM which is a huge turn off. Maybe they're just too new, but casual surfing og various forums and Google turned up no information about how good they are with payments, etc.

The funniest one I found is they sent their spam offering a whopping $0.13 CPC to a listserve.

Other than that, it appears it's too early to find out anything interesting.

I too received an email this morning reporting that ExpoActive would pay .60 per click. I too am hesitant to signup with them. Could anyone with some experience with this company please post their thoughts?

One thing that I did notice is that they don't appear to have been around for that long as their PR is 0 on all pages. This or they need to do some SEO.

Yep, they quoted 60 cents for me, too. I guess it's pretty standard bait techinique. Don't think they'll follow through with it, they just want to get your greed glands salivating.
I guess I should tell them that I've got quite a few clicks that are more than a buck (although the average comes to 20-25 cents).
