Some thoughts about Click To Call.

What about fraudulent calls? The Ingenio which offer similar service on AOL networks, asserts there is no call fraud at all. They have precaution measurements which blocks the autodialer. Means fraud minds need to hire some one to dial manually. Google may do the same.

Is consumers are ready to type the number?

Ingenio Vs Click to Call link discuss how ingenio failed to convince the users to type their number so advertisers call give them the call. Later ingenio changed revenue model from Click-to-Call to Pay Per call. Could be because Ingenio Operating on AOL network. (As per my experience I never respected AOL nor their service. Guessing AOL customers may feel the same way which might have stopped them giving the number to Ingenio)
