This thread is almost twenty years old; here’s a short, practical update (checked Feb 8, 2026) and what to do if you’re thinking of trying Clicksor today. Several members in this thread (for example started the topic and and later raised concerns) recorded poor results long ago — treat those reports as a reason to do careful, modern due diligence rather than proof the current network is identical to 2006.

Quick status snapshot: the clicksor domain still resolves but the site content and pages visible now do not match the original publisher/ad-server pages from this thread (the domain appears repurposed in places). (clicksor.com)

Why be cautious: there is a long record of publisher complaints and security reports about ads served through Clicksor over the years (payout disputes, malvertising/adware reports, community threads raising problems), and there are public legal and forum records that mention the company. Treat those as red flags to investigate, not as the final answer. (daniweb.com)

If you want to test an ad network safely, follow this checklist:

  • Verify current ownership/registration and recent uptime (WHOIS and site checks). (whois.com)
  • Read recent reviews on multiple sites (forum threads, Trustpilot/Sitejabber) and search for “malware” + the network name. (sitejabber.com)
  • Run a short, limited test on low-traffic pages and cross-check ad impressions/clicks against your analytics and server logs. Keep timestamps and screenshots.
  • Isolate third-party ad code: load ad units inside a sandboxed iframe and use a restrictive Content-Security-Policy or Subresource Integrity where possible. See MDN for CSP sandbox and SRI guidance. (developer.mozilla.org)

Example (very small) pattern to isolate ad code safely:

<iframe src="https://ads.example.com" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-popups"></iframe>

# HTTP header example (server)
Content-Security-Policy: sandbox; frame-ancestors 'self';

Bottom line: because this thread is old and the domain/content have changed, treat Clicksor as something you must re-verify today. If any live test shows malware, suspicious behavior, or unpaid earnings, stop serving the ads immediately, collect evidence, and escalate to your payment processor / hosting provider and community/legal channels.

I haven't but I'd be interested in feedback as well. I think I've heard the name around this site before so a site search for clicksor might reveal something.

Not recommended. I used clicksor on one of my sites but did not stick around long enough to collect any earnings from them.

Back when I signed up with them (about a year ago), Clicksor was not a truly contextually targeted PPC program...you basically give them some keywords that describe your site, and they try to deliver ads relevant to your content. Perhaps their ad delivery technology has changed. Does anyone know?

clicksor is good program i guess i used it for about 6 months then found google adsense was the main source of money ,paypopup is also one of their network i guess i use paypopup its also very nice

Clicksor pay affiliates twice a month on time,but they would deducted part of your earnings daily. Due to they consider that part of your clicks were incentive clicks. That's made me not feel very good.

As a publisher i've already been paid by them as far as advertising is concerned never dealt but they're getting expensive too =)

Member Avatar for webeteran

Yeah I used them awhile back and the pay wasn't really there, but they might be better now

I have been using them since early 2006.

I had three problems with Clicksor:

1. They pay bloody awful rates.

2. 99% of the time the ads have absolutely nothing to do with your site content.

3. They are only too willing to allow spyware sellers to advertise on thei network.

several times I have had to send them stern emails complaining about spyware sites hijacking my site and forcing my visitors to go to their site where spyware will be installed with or without their permission.

I currently use Adbrite who seem to have a better pay rate.
