I imagine I'm not the only person in the world that thinks Adwords is a scam. After all, the EU has notified Google of a current investigation into antitrust matters. http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/21/tech...rust/index.htm

On one of my sites, I have a breath-taking $2/day Adwords budget, with clicks around 20cents. My daily budget is always reached in the Adwords dashboard/control panel thing.

Just yesterday, feeling my oats about my new and improved PHP coding adventures, I decided to add some 2008-era logging code to my sites - the one with the Adwords budget, and the 6 or so without.

In the past 24 hours, the site with the Adwords budget has had *1* HTTP_REFERRER as Google. But yet, I've reached my limit of clicks. Some from Yahoo, none from Bing, some from AOL, and multiple blogs and free porn search engines.

The other sites, have had a few from Google. More Bing and Yahoo, but a couple from Google.

My two concerns about spending money with Google:

1) 50% of the traffic on the net is not human surfers, and

2) Adwords is a scam.

Have you more full-time programmers been keeping track of your traffic, over a longer haul?
