Yes, you forgot to factor in click fraud, which raises your 2.5% click estimate to 30%+. :devil_smile:

It is just too easy to hire illegal workers in their thousands to click, click, click millions of time, and the good thing is that it will not be detected if you play the timings and IPs well. Let alone click bots.

It is just too tempting for anyone, big or small, to resist. The PPC model is critically flawed.
