I have decided to not buy referrals from the websites anymore. It’s just too risky and with little work you can get nice amount of referrals. Of course you need to have some money to advertise your referral link, but I’m sure that that you will spend 60% less for the same amount of referrals. If you don’t know how to get referrals, read my “Getting Referrals” article on “Tips & Tricks” category.
If you decide to buy referrals from Paid-to-Click site, at least use your credit/debit card! As far as I have understood, PayPal will refund your money if the site scams you. I’m not sure about AlertPay, but I assume that also they will do refund.
Advantages of self-referring? You will get higher activity % if the site doesn’t sell fake referrals like TakeTheGlobe. For example, when you advertise a website at your blog or at PTC-site, people can decide will they register or not. If they will, it means that they are interested about the site. This doesn’t guarantee active referral, but at least it’s way better than buying referrals directly from the website.
If the website is new it’s also good decision to buy referrals, but only if the site is new! If you buy referrals from a old site, most likely you will get some lazy and old clickers and the site will pay you so slow, that you will never get Return of Investment.
Paid-to-Click business is so risky, that most likely you will not be lucky enough to earn profit. Only people on the top of pyramid will actually earn money, so you need to be one of the first members to invest if you want to get any profit. Otherwise just click ads and refer your friends. One good advertising method is sign-up offer. You pay to PTC-site 0.2$ per referral and members of that site will join under you. They will earn money for that. You can force user to click x amount of ads in order to receive credit. In 5 days they may used to click, so there’s good chance that you will get active referrals.
So, stop spending your money on referrals, refer them yourself!
