Hey BlackHatWorld community,
I recently posted a reply about my experience with 7search. I felt it was important to turn this into a thread so more people can be aware of the pitfalls of using this PPC network.

Yes, they are active, but I assure you they are the worst PPC network on earth. I've gone through hell with them. I got 153 clicks, and all were bot traffic. I proved it using Cloudflare's managed challenge—only one click passed. I contacted support several times but got no help. Initially, when I asked for a refund of my remaining balance, they told me, "It's our policy; we don't refund the unused balance in the advertiser's account. What we can do is optimize your ad."
I agreed, and they supposedly optimized it. They told me to wait three hours before activating my ad and promised that I'd get real human traffic. I asked what changes they had made because I didn't see any in the ad settings. They replied, "It's all set on our end, don't worry, we've fixed the issue."
I activated the ad as instructed. In one minute, $7 was gone from my $15 daily budget—no click or impression recorded, but money was deducted. I was shocked. I contacted support, and suddenly, my ad was updated with 16 clicks and 1,000 impressions. Support claimed it was a glitch.
From there, I decided to use Cloudflare's managed challenge to check if the traffic was bot or human. I was shocked again: 28 clicks for $15 on a backend-optimized ad, and only one click passed the challenge. I essentially paid $15 for a single click. I went back to support with evidence and demanded a full refund. They said they would provide better service but would not issue a refund. They even blocked my live chat on three different IPs. When I told them on a fourth IP that I was recording my screen, they let the chat go live.
So, if anyone is thinking of using 7search, they should make a wise decision and find a trustworthy PPC network instead. You'll never see your money or real traffic. Try TrafficJunky, or better yet, stick with Google. 7search will drain you without delivering results or giving you a refund, even if it's their fault. I think they set this non-refund policy on purpose—they saw it coming.

I hope this helps anyone considering 7search. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Spread the word and stay safe!
