After seeing the cost of college these days, I decided to take action to help defray the cost as much as possible. Paid to Click (PTC) seems like a simple way to do it.
I am hoping to raise enough money doing PTC to help pay for my Daughter & Son's college educations. Hopefully i will learn enough along the way to help others
earn extra cash for your expenses as well.
Here is a list of paid to click (PTC) sites that have good reputations and actually pay their members.
A PTC site is a site that pays you to view websites linked from their page. Many also pay you for people whom you refer to their page. You don't make a million
overnight but, you can make a steady income if you stay with it.
I will write honest reviews and updates on these sites regularly to give you the best choices in PTC sites for you to make extra cash.
I am also interested in learning about other sites that you recommend.
Tips in Succeeding in Paid to Click
1. Find 5-10 trusted sites that you can visit every day. Look for sites that have a consistent amount of ads every day and have a good history pf paying on time.
Keep a close eye on your sites. A site that was great last month may be sold or go away next month.
2. Refer everyone you know to your downline. You can send direct links for friends & family or create a site like mine where they can sign up for the sites they like all
in one place. Don't expect everyone to sign up right away but some may sign up later when they see you success.
3. Use some of your revenue from PTC to advertise on the sites you use. Example: When I receive $20 on The Clickers, I use that money to advertise this site.
4. Help your downline recruit there own downline. This will help keep them motivated.
5. Keep clicking! After your downline gets big enough, you may feel you don't need to click anymore as your downline is doing all the work! But remember, you have
an upline that is counting on your clicking every day and you should pay it forward
6. Never give up! It takes time to develop a strong downline and sticking to it every day is the only way to achieve it.

What does a "Scam" site mean?
I think it's important to define clearly and unequivocally what it means for a site to be labeled a "scam" site, since people throw the word around a lot and since the word is used so much in this industry.
The most common misconception I see is that people often think, "If a site is paying, it must not be scam" or "This site paid me recently, so it must not be scam."
That may sound natural and intuitive, but here's the kicker: for a website to be legitimate (not scam), it must pay *all* honest users to whom it owes money, on time, and according to terms of service. It's not good enough that the site paid you recently, or that it's paid a few people recently (as proofs posted somewhere), or even that it's paid most people. For a site to be a legitimate business, it must be caught up on all current debts to all honest users.
That is not an unreasonable standard, or some impossibly high bar. It's a basic function of the business model adopted by the administrator, who is either running a cash positive business, or an inherently doomed ponzi on borrowed time. The big fallacy I see is that people think, "Hmmm...well, I saw that x or y got paid recently, so this site is obviously still paying! It must not be a scam." Also, people sometimes say, "Well I got paid, so it's not a scam." Sorry, but one person getting paid is statistically irrelevant. Even a 1000 people getting paid is irrelevant, if 9000 other honest users earned their pay and are not getting paid.
For a site to be legitimate it must: have sustainable rates (which indicates it's not just planning on grabbing quick profits over 3-6 months and closing), deal promptly and honestly with user questions and concerns, have reasonable Terms of Service and not change them simply as a means of damage control to deal with a cash-negative problem, be transparent about operations, and actively and successfully solicit outside ads that cover expenses on an ongoing basis.
Everything has to be upfront and right for a site to be labeled "legitimate": the advertiser rates/clicks payout ratio, the referral earning offerings, etc. Only if a site meets the basic criteria of an operative business model should it be granted legitimacy. Failing that, even if only one factor is askew, it can and should be labeled a suspected "scam"--an unsustainable model. We all know that 90%+ of PTC's are scams, and if you take auroras out of the equation, it's 99+%.
So, I guess my main point is that in the current climate, this is not an "Innocent until proven Guilty" industry. The burden of proof is on an individual site to show that it has a sustainable model and a proven track record, to earn the honor of being taken seriously. In the meantime, you don't throw the word "scam" around just because a site went down for a few hours when you tried to go to it, but you can and should label a site as a "scam" for unsustainably high click earnings rates or other suspicious indicators.
People throw the word "scam" around too loosely in certain situations (when they have personally had a bad experience with a website), and not loosely enough in other general situations (when analyzing the general viability of a website's business model).

Advertising on PTC-sites
There is so much bots and autoclickers in this industry, and even you find site which has good security systems and doesn’t sells bots theres no quarantee that you will get good traffic.Biggest problems in PTCs is lack of advertisers. The reason is simply, advertisers want quality and PTCs can’t provide it. That’s why real advertisers doesn’t use PTCs. Usually clickers just click, surf at internet and when 30 seconds is passed they simply leave your site.
Advertising products
If you are advertising products which aren’t related on money making online you made wrong decision. People who are clicking on PTCs are usually 15-years old kids and they haven’t money to buy your products. Actually, if they are clicking your ad to make money why they would be interested of spending money on your site? The only decision is advertise to premium members. Premium memberships costs from 20$ to 90$ so they have money to spend, but unless your site isn’t supporting AlertPay or even PayPal forget it.
Where to advertise?Personally i prefer sites which uses aurora script. The script has good security features, and they charge around 2$ per 1000 visits. Specially, if you are advertising your referral link Aurora sites are for you! On of them (where i advertise) is Incentria.com. I’m getting good and quality traffic from there. I know from experience that the advertising advice in this post really works. Though I haven’t tried Incentria, I’ve used Clicksia and bought 1000/$2, which gave me 7 referrals on SandraClicks. 4 of them aren’t active at all but 3 of them are incredibly active. 3 referrals is not bad for $3. Permanent referrals, I might add.
What you should advertise on PTCs?
Well, if the clickers are in PTC to earn money, they are interested about it? So you should advertise GPT program, otherwise don’t exept to get succes storie from your advertising campaign. If you want that clickers buy your products you should accept AlertPay or PayPal and advertise to Premium members only.
Overall
You should not take PTC advertising seriously unless you want to improve your Alexa stats and Google search’s. You should only advertise Get-Paid-To products or your referral links. You can also improve Alexa rank with PTC’s, 20$ per 10 000 visits is cheap for it. If you are going to advertise products, think before you do it.
By the way, I ONLY invest in instant pay PTCs now because, in my opinion any PTC that doesn’t pay instantly or at least within 48 hours is a scam site. There’s just no reason to withhold peoples money for more than that.
Do not buy referrals from the PTC- site
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!

About PTC
What’s this “Paid to Click” programs?
As what the phrase says these are programs where advertisers pay you after clicking or viewing their advertisements for about 10-30 seconds. Every successful clicking or viewing = $0.01 credit to your account. Good PTC sites are probably the best way to make money on the internet and best of all they are legal and free to join. Paid to click is an easy way to make money online if you keep your advertising budget low. Here’s how it works in a nutshell: Advertisers need low cost advertising and they are willing to pay for the visitors.
What is a PTC site?
PTC programs are NOT a Autosurf, Multi-Level Marketing, Pyramid, Ponzi, Matrix or “Get Rich Quick” scheme.
PTC sites are new innovative, international and FREE English based services that allow advertisers to reach thousands of potential customers by displaying their ad on their “Surf Ads” page. An exact calculated percentage of all advertising revenue is paid to their members (that’s us!). PTC sites make money via advertising, other advertising sources throughout the website as well as earning through direct sponsorship of other members, just like a regular member does.
Is it free to join?
Absolutely yes! You don’t need to spend a single dime upon signing up or even if you are already earning. So there’s no reason not to join. No risk at all!
How do I earn?
You earn by just clicking and displaying the Ads for 20-50 seconds that can be found on your login page after signing up. 8+ advertisements are available to click on each PTC site everyday. You will earn much much more money if you refer the program to your other friends. You will also earn on every click they make so invite as many friends as you can after joining.
Below is an example of your potential earnings based on averages:
- You click 10 ads per day = $0.10
- 50 referrals click 10 ads per day = $5.00
- Your daily earnings = $5.10
- Your weekly earnings = $35.70
- Your monthly earnings = $153.00
Reminder: Click & display the ads one at a time or one after the other in order for your earnings to be credited to you.
How do I get my earnings?
If you have already reached the minimum payout, you can now cash it out via paypal or alertpay. These are account-managing systems in the internet and are currently known to be the safest. After cashing out, login to your alertpay account and click the ‘withdraw’ feature so that your money will be transferred to your debit card. After that, you can now withdraw your money through accredited atm machines.
If you don’t have alertpay account, just click items below & signup:
extra tip to avoid scam sites.
If you ever stumble upon a bux site, go look at their site stats (which should be on the left side of many bux sites)
and check the users online stat:
if there are just normal numbers next to the users online stat then there is a chance that it might be a scam site
eg: super-bux.net (its gone now)
i signed up on it, the-bux.com (is online now and many say its a scam site)
note: the sites above are just some i have either signed up on or visited.
ps: this is from my personal experience as all the buxsites that i signed up on had this feature and eventually they dont exist anymore (the sites went offline)
if you think there are any exceptions to my tip go ahead and reply.
one more thingy: nothing beats a simple google search for a site you suspect being a scam. or just go to PTCtalk right here
thanks for reading.

Advice for people on a slow connection
If you just like me sit on a very slow connection here are a few simple tips to speed up your clicking.
These few simple steps only apply if you use Firefox.
These few simple steps only apply if you use Firefox.
- Go to TOOLS in the menu bar. In the drop down menu pick options. In options remove the tick in "load images automatically". This will prevent all pictures from loading which makes everything go a lot smoother.
- On some pages when you login you need to enter a security code. You will not be able to see this when Firefox is setup to not load images. Therefore go to the menu again, click options, then click exceptions to the right of "load images automatically". A new window will open up and you will now be able to copy/paste the sites login page address into the box that says "Address of website". After you have done that click the button that says Allow. Reload the page and the image/security code is visible. An alternative would be to save your login and password when you login the first time. But I know that some people do not like doing so for some reason.
- Download an Add-on for Firefox called Flash Block. This will prevent flash from loading as well which really decreases loading time of the page.
- Sometimes the counter will not start even though the page is fully loaded on my connection so to get around that I just press the "Stop loading this page" button(BIG RED X) and the counter will appear. Easy as...
Hope this will be useful to you guys out there that like me sit on a crappy connection. Trust me.....the internet here in Indonesian sucks so had to come up with something. :)
The Earning Guide
The Basic Necessities
· Use a valid email address - You will always want to have a valid email address to use when you sign up to a Pay To site. This is so that the website can contact you with inquiries about your account if needed. Also, some PTC sites require a valid email in order for your payments to be accepted. Another thing you will need your email address for is your payment processing site. For example, on AlertPay you will need a valid email address in order to sign up for an account.
· A AlertPay account - Most Pay To sites use AlertPay as their preferred payment method. This is because it is the easiest of the payment processors to use in many peoples' opinion.
Getting Started
· Do Your Homework - It is always good to know at least a little bit about a \"Pay To\" site before you join it. Usually, knowing about a site, and it's owners and staff, can help you determine whether you want to join it, or stay away for fear of it being a scam. If you know a bit about the owner, you can usually make a good judgement on whether or not its going to turn to a scam. Also, a lot of scammers start more than one site, so, see if the owner of the site you are joining owns any other site, and see if they are in good standing. If they are scams, chances are that site is as well.
· Read The Terms of Service - You will need to know at least a little bit about the Terms of Service each site provides for their members. Always skim over this and check for irregularities and rules that you might not know about so that you dont accidentally break them without knowing.
Here are a few simple things to prevent getting scammed.
Follow them closely, they are very accurate and will help you in the long run.
1. Don't Join Non-Customized Sites
When finding a new site, look at the layout, is it good, or bad?
This may not seem like a key factor, but it most definately is.
If the layout is very bad(visually), they probably didn't put much time into it.
This means they either can't design, or just don't care.
Also if they are running the same old "bux" layout with a new banner, keep away.
You want to find a site that is custom and in it for the long haul.
If they were in it for the long haul they would make their site unique.

2. Don't Join Sites Of Past Scammers
If the site owner is known to of scammed in the past, don't join.
The site owner may have an excuse or decided to "change his ways", but don't buy it.
If they have scammed once, they will scam again, don't take the risk, ever.

3. Don't Purchase Anything <-- Important!
If you find a new site that seems to look okay and your considering purchasing something, don't.
If the site is brand new with no real userbase or even payment proofs, don't join.
Even if you hear people sing praises about getting payments, don't.
Most scam sites pay out tons and tons quickly right away, then it just stops.
Let the site be online for at least 1.5-2 months before purchasing to be safe.

4. Don't Use Sites Without Support/Forums
If the site doesn't have a good support system or forums where an admin is active, don't use it.
This is the key way users and admins speak to each other and if it doesn't exist, they don't care.
You should be able to get in contact with the owner within 48 hours at any time.

Hope this helps those looking to invest/join in sites.
If you follow these rules religiously you will never be scammed, ever.
Your part of a PTC and your trying to get people to join using your ref link, sounds easy enough but you realise eventually that there are many other people in the same situation trying to get people to join via their ref links also, so how do you get an edge above the rest? Follow some of these tips and your sure to have some more ref's in no time.
Blogs/Websites
With this, all you do is create a website or blog and post your referral links on there, give a description of each site and then advertise your blog or website anywhere you can from your myspace, online forums etc... to attract visitors.
