No, there is not.
AdWords is the best and there is non that is even closer to them. But is extremely expensive. You'd better change sides by delivering AdSense! Overture PPC is a joke. Most of the time competitors are clicking on each others ads and that is the income stream for Overture and the other PPC engines! There is still some small value in FindWhat while LookSmart looks totally under water - 100% victimized by click spammers. SearchFeed is struggling but with not much success too. All of the time the quality of all their distribution networks is getting worse and worse. None of them accepts PayPal.

Whatever you decide have in mind the following article:
=========================================

India's secret army of online ad 'clickers'
N VIDYASAGAR

TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ MONDAY, MAY 03, 2004 08:20:34 AM ]


NEW DELHI: With her baby on her lap, Maya Sharma (name changed) gets down to work every evening from her eighth-floor flat at Vasant Vihar. Maya's job is to click on online advertisements. She doesn't care about the ads, but diligently keeps count — it's $0.18 to $0.25 per click.

A growing number of housewives, college graduates, and even working professionals across metropolitan cities are rushing to click paid Internet ads to make $100 to $200 (up to Rs 9,000) per month.

"It's boring, but it is extra money for a couple of hours of clicking weblinks every day," says a resident of Delhi's Patparganj, who has kept a $300-target for the summer.

Traffic to click overseas Internet ads — from home loans to insurance — is spreading fast in India. "I have no interest in what appears when clicking an ad. I care only whether to pause 60 seconds or 90 seconds, as money is credited if you stay online for a fixed time," says another user.

Here's how it works: online advertisers in developed markets agree to pay hosting website each time an ad is clicked. With performance-based deals becoming dominant on the Internet, intermediaries have sprung up to "do the needful”.' Why, type in 'earn rupees clicking ads' in Google — you get 25,000 results.

"I'm not surprised. As competition intensifies, people are using every trick to increase their revenues," says Sam Balsara, CMD, Madison.

The trend is catching up in India. Says Goutam Rakshit, chairman, Advertising Council of India: "It's a numbers game as far as media buying is concerned. And anybody who can manipulate numbers gets the edge. This is unethical, and needs to be curbed."

Take Click2freemoney.com. Calling itself an Internet advertising company that shares profits with members, it gives three options to earn money — by clicking on website links via e-mails that they send, by clicking on banners and text ads in their paid-to-click section, and by referring others to the website.

No wonder Internet ad firms have been floated in neighbourhood colonies, promising to share "secrets" to earning in dollars by clicking online ads for an upfront fee of Rs 250 to Rs 1,500.

Typically, online ad clickers get their money remitted by opening accounts through PayPal or StormPay — which enables money transaction if you have an e-mail address.

Most clickers, however, opt to pay commission to middle men and encash earnings in rupees. Clickers say they pay $7 commission for every $50 earned.

Clicks are bought to boost number of hits for web ads or online advertisers who are not tracking user location. Rakshit says new tech solutions are being developed to bring in some sort of accountability. "It is going to be a cat-and-mouse game," he says.

Industry, as a whole, is confident that this is an interim trend that will fizzle out in the long run. But for the moment, there are countless Maya Sharmas clicking away.
===============================================

Unfortunately, it is a trend that is gaining momentum all over the world and is not fizzling out.
Do not buy too much Google shares or if you have bought already do not forget to click on AdSense ads whenever or whereever you see them. :wink:

Will be nice if you share your personal PPC experience if any! :)

I am interested to know if there are people there who can be labeled as "professional ad clickers" and if they can earn their living only by clicking on ads?

Check with PayPal if you can get Paypal Credit Card then you can pay for Adwords using this card. Actually it will be a debit card that is connected to your Paypal account.

My personal advice is, do not be in a rush to purchase PPC campaigns. Wait till IPv6 is introduced all over the world. That will make life harder for the professional ad clickers and their click networks.

Why not withdraw the money to your bank account and then send a cheque to someone like Overture or use your Debit card to pay for adwords.

huh!? ipv6 has..what to do? I am sorry but either I have misled so far with ipv6 or I believe i didn't understand your post?

ipv6 cannot determine fraud. Only script that runs the ppc network and algorithm the empowers it can.

But then maybe you have something to share? Kindly do so.

Thank you

Too much technicalities yeh? Lets say IPv6 has additional layers that can be used by algos that determine click fraud. For instance, a click fraud technique using IP tunneling can be easily spotted.
