It looks like you [7search] guys are providing the lowest quality traffic among all the PPC search engines
according to my site's stats 99% of clicks coming from you and your affiliates show 1 page view and 0 time spent on my site, the majority of visits come from some European domains (they are absolutely useless for me)
Meanwhile you are charging me more than $5 per day for such "traffic", not big money,of course, but anyway to big to pay for nothing
please explain

welcome to webmasterworld aefed. Trying to blow of some steam here? :)

I dont know if its appropriate putting an email on here, but after reading, I just wondered if it was possible that 7search have an incorrect URL, and people are indeed clicking on the SERP, but are not getting to your site.

Possible?

no, impossible, they are getting to the site but only to get out
looks like it is some sort of "exitexchange" traffic, i guess
never worked for me, but at least ExitExchange is free...

I also tried exit exchange. didnt do anything for site usage. just got to the home page and closed it down. Probaly didnt even look. just saw a browser that they hadn opened and closed it before that read it. But as you say... it was free :)

7Search I found NOT useful. The only place I've seen it come up was in the reports for WPG and I figure the only reason its in there is so people click on the report and maybe they sign up for the service and they pick up the referal fee. bah

To add some balance on the other side of the coin, they have an excellent affiliate program. I took a very long look at putting them here on webmasterworld.
