Pay Per Click General Information
The most common way of promoting product sales on the internet is Pay Per Click promotion. Everybody know the big players: Google Adwords Yahoo Search Marketing What about the other guys are they worth marketing with?

N/A Referring URLS in your reports
It would appear that the lack of referer information that was occurring on direct purchasing links to the old shopping cart (Example: http://zenmed.com/shoppingcart?AddToCart=2&aid=123) was caused by a feature in the legacy cart which redirected to the new cart prior to tracking the click.

We like many of you got the notices about Google and Yahoo Click Settlements. Did we take part in these settlements? NO, not because we want to give them more money then we had to. We did not take part in these settlements because the reward that was being offered was not even close to a slap on the wrists to them. Has click fraud slowed down? We do not think it has, why would it, they make more money from more “traffic”. The only thing we have done to make this feel better is to employ the servies of a click fraud prevention service. Should you use one of these services? I guess it comes down to the question if there is really 20%...
