Google to offer "Cost-Per-Action" ads

[ablaye]

Google is currently testing a new ad model, the "cost-per-action" ads. Basically, the advertiser no longer gets charged for clicks, but rather when the clicks result to an action that the advertiser is seeking such as purchases, membership sign-ups, etc...

I absolutely would love to sign up for this program as I would only be charged for traffic that turns into sale leads.

The current Pay-Per-Click model is flawed as I believe there is too much fraud in this and advertisers such as myself are loosing a lot of money in fraudulent or useless clicks.

What do you guys think? Would it cost too much to the advertiser?
