Okay I bought some on sex.com and on google. Didn't place a bid on sex.com yet but I did try google.
I will NEVER EVER again buy a pay-per-impression ads, not on google at least. Man what a waste that was. Only good thing was I wasted just $15.
My campaign ended and my limit was reached within a couple of hours after starting the campaign when the estimated hits for my chosen keywords were shown to be 0 (so I thought I am MORE than safe)!! On top of all I never even saw my ad displayed on the google.com when doing a search for that keyword. Not to mention the poor click-through (0,19%) although the ad was very well targeted. I'd like to know where was my ad being shown as on google.com it sure wasn't. I thought that it takes like a couple of hours before the ad shows up so I didn't worry about that, but before I even took my time to ask them why I can't see my ad, the campaign already ended. 1039 impressions, 2 clicks, $15 thrown out the window. Their engine said I'll get 0 hits with that keywords, but I got 1k in 2 hours and never even saw the ad displayed when doing a search for that keywords.
Be your own judge but this is my experience.
