Basic Facts
I been using BidClix as a default to google adsense for a while now and have yet to see any real profit. I don't serve to them as many impressions as I would with google, however there is a reason for that. BidClix takes 50% of your cut so that means it's a 50/50 split between you and them. That's not the only reason though. My main reason is because the ads usually aren't relevant.
BidClix uses a betting system where the highest bid gets a spot on your inventory. There is a good and bad to this. While you will always get the highest bid on that spot, you will also get ads which may or may not be relevant to your site content. With most case studies, the more relevant the ad is to the content, the higher the CTR will be. With BidClix, because most ads aren't relevant the CTR can be really low.
BidClix, uses most of the standard ad sizes such as leader board, skyscrapers, and banners. They also have popup unders and popup ads. They pay via paypal, or checks. Other payment options can be arrange with your personal account manager.
Publisher Interface
One of the great things about Bidclix is the publisher interface. When you log in you come to your homepage that displays your earnings and clicks for today. You can sort all your info base on the Date, Channel, Placement, Property, and Advertiser. Also you can edit your profile and see when you gotten paid.
If you are worried about ads that just don't fit into your inventory Bidclix, has a system where you can review the advertiser and approve or reject them. This gives a lot of power to the publisher. Another very powerful control given to the publisher is the ability to set your own minimum bids. So if you feel that you space is worth $.50 per click then you can charge that.
When you want to add a different ad size, you have to request it. And then wait for it to be approved by your account manager or someone. Once I wait 4 days for an ad placement to be approved, which is a little long in my standards. This might another drawback, but was probably only a rare occurrence.
Customer Service
I only sent them one, yes reading and weep, 1 e-mail since I used them. I forgot what it was about but if my memory serves me well, it was about the ad code. The result was that they e-mailed me back in a few days, which is very good. The response was clear and understandable. So with that experience I have to say that it was good.
Pros: Set Your Prices, Great Publisher Interface
Cons: Low CTR

I need to update this review. Bidclix.com is no longer alive. They were bought out by another company in 2005. That company is now called Atlas Solutions
