I recently tried it out. I had it set for $1.75/click and no publisher picked it up for 2 months, so I offered $2 per click. They assured me the clicks from these publishers are high quality and they have a system to make sure they're not bot clicks. US weekly is the publication that chose to write an article. They sent lots of traffic earning themselves $2 per click, but the sales just didn't happen. I spent $5,000 (the minimum you have to spend) and it generated $300 in sales. Hands down the worst advertising results I've ever experienced.They said they analyzed it for bot traffic, and it was legitimate traffic. However the average time on the page was 15 seconds, my average engagement time per session is closer to 45 seconds. Much of the traffic was just 1 second or less.Seems the publisher who chose to make the post was not a good fit. There's no way to back out of it once it starts you're in for the full amount.My communication with the Linkby rep was good and he was very responsive. They do have legitimate connections to publishers to get you an article written. It simply worked out terribly for my business. Our conversion rate with other platforms that have posted articles is generally 4-10%. This conversion rate was basically .001%. Something doesn't add up. Disappointing and very hurtful for my small business.
