New Service Helps Stop Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Click Fraud

(I-Newswire) February 16, 2005 - Chandler, AZ - PPC Trax has announced the beta release of it's highly anticipated Pay-Per-Click (PPC) tracking and auditing service at http://www.ppctrax.com/ .

With the billion dollar PPC industry still growing at 20% per year, new advertisers come into the market daily. New and long-time PPC advertisers with ad spend budgets from $200 to thousands per day are being systematically defrauded of their marketing budgets.

Both groups of marketers and advertisers are clamoring for a solution to help prevent affiliates, publishers and competitors from stealing their ad budgets in the growing scheme.

PPC Trax is a monthly service that offers detailed click fraud tracking and reporting starting as low as $29.00 per month.

For a limited time, PPC Trax is offering free 30 day trial accounts to PPC advertisers.

"Clients and colleagues have been begging us to develop a simple to use but highly effective PPC tracking solution that can help detect and stop PPC click fraud as well as serve as the basis for recovering refunds from pay-per-click search engines and media properties", said Skip Pratt, General Manager of PPC Trax.

"We decided to invest the capital and manpower realizing this gap in the market exists and there is a pent-up demand from marketers to make more effective use of their advertising budgets and to cease fraud from occurring to them" Pratt continued.
