Well first off it would be one thing if it was just Lycos, but they throw you into the pool (toilet?) of partner sites. I burned through my budget within 3 hrs, and was sent the total ammount I get from both Google and Yahoo, within those 3 hours... IMPRESSIVE. We tracked it down and it looked highly automated, much of the traffic came from searchfeed, and probably some of their shite partner sites. Lycos was bitches about giving a refund, so it was $25 down the drain and I cancelled with them. I would be VERY CAREFUL with using lycos PPC. The good news is you can opt out of all their partner sites in their control panel. Do this! If you just want massive click fraud/robotic traffic it may work for you and convert as outgoing traffic if you catch my drift...last I checked robots were not into shopping so as an aff or merchant it was crap.
