Click programs - why I won't be doing it...

It's your choice but I don't think this is a great way to 'earn'

I see lots of people promoting click programs - I will not be doing that here as I don't really like the way that this type of scheme works. A lot of people regard paid to blog as demeaning, and I am inclined to agree to a point. For me paid to click is one step further... after all, you can't say that you have any real positive input into the process.

What's wrong with it - I have a sneaking suspicion that advertising sales people are selling their schemes by guaranteeing advertisers that they will be exposed to a set number of viewers regardless of the 'quality' of the visitor - The client surely doesn't appreciate that their 'visitors' will be people who are paid to click and view their advert with no interest at all in the 'product'. I don't have any inside information, but put it like this:
Logically why would people pay you to click on adverts or read emails..? Because the advertiser thinks they will get a 'return' from their investment in terms of sales revenue. Does anyone participating in paid email or advert-clicking buy the products??? I suspect not, because they are only there to earn a few cents for opening emails and clicking... They have to get through these without wasting time in order to accumulate enough revenue to make it worth while. Does the advertsing company know this? yep - Does their client know this??? The only conclusion I can reach is that NO they don't otherwise why would they participate?
I realise that my view may not be popular, but there you go - it's out there now, I've said it! Please let me know if you have a different view and especially if you know anything about what keeps paid to read and paid to click schemes going...
