End of the road for BidClix

[Larwee]

I've been using BidClix since it started. I never was very serious about it because for me it just couldn't compete with Google AdSense. But there are some people who were very pleased with BidClix. It also became popular with people who had been suspended from AdSense.

BidClix is closing very soon. But they say they will pay everyone who is owed money. BidClix was bought by aQuantive a few months ago but aQuantive now has other plans for BidClix.

Here are the details as told by BidClix:

The BidClix Advertising Marketplace, as you know it, is closing. Soon you will no longer be able to access your BidClix account and the existing interface will be shut down.

In December 2006 BidClix became part of the aQuantive family. Over the next few months we are going to work hard to transition our best BidClix advertisers and publishers to DRIVE Performance Media, an operating company of aQuantive and one of the world's leading advertising networks.
