Low-quality clicks are clicks that adCenter classifies as non-billable, including those that adCenter has identified as:

• Invalid clicks
• Clicks that have characteristics of low or unclear commercial intent
• Clicks that exhibit patterns of unusual activity
• Clicks that originate from spiders, robots, questionable sources, or test servers
• Clicks that should be filtered out for other reasons

Both Atlas Quality of Click Study (UK, 2007) found that conversion rates from Live Search were, on average, 35% higher than those of the other engines. Add to it, Online Shopper Profile too (France, 2007) found that although customers coming from Live Search made up 6% of searches, they accounted for 11% of conversions.

Great job, AdCenter! This is a definite lead over competitor Google AdWords.
