A helpful guide
"At ---.---, you get paid to click on ads and visit websites. The process is easy! You simply click a link and view a website for 30 seconds to earn money. You can earn even more by referring friends. You'll get paid $0.01 for each website you personally view and $0.01 for each website your referrals view. Payment requests can be made every day and are processed through AlertPay. The minimum payout is $10.00."
PTC sites are a way (?) to make money online.
Here are my advices (tips) if you decide to join a ptc site:
- Do not invest money (from your own pocket) in PTC sites. If the site you joined turns into a scam you will lose your money. Be patient and also be an active clicker. After three to six months you will have enough money to buy referrals and you will also know which site pays and which is a scam.
- If you can't wait and you want to invest for first time I suggest spending to $30-40 (in a trustable site). You'll buy 15-35 referrals and get your money back within 1-2 months. If you ask me what I would recommend: just be patient...
- You must have good antivirus/antispyware/firewall software. Also I suggest you use Mozilla Firefox with AdBlock Plus and NoScript add-ons. Don't forget to clear all cookies when you logout.
- Do not use the same password in every PTC site you join, if you do not want to see your accounts hacked. Example of a strong password: Wsaxc3!f$aD (use lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols).
- Before you register a new account in a PTC site do a google search about the site you want to become member. Google search phrase: Company name + scam (for example bux.to scam)
- If you decide to buy thousands of referrals, prefer to "split" them in many different sites. Instead of buying, for example, 2000 referrals in one PTC site, buy 500 in four PTC sites.
- If you have bought referrals do not expect all of them to be active. Usually you will receive 2-3 clicks per day per referral.
- Do not try to cheat (multiple accounts or autoclickers). Probably you will see your account to be banned. Autoclickers also may contain viruses.
- Compare the advertising cost and user (what you'll receive per click) rates. Some sites charge for example $3 per 1000 clicks and pay $0.015 per user click ($15/1000). These sites probably are scams.
- You can take a look in some scam lists to see if a PTC site is scam or not: PTC Talk Scam list, Scam list on Squidoo or Uronlinebiz Scam List to see if a PTC site is scam or not. Don't forget to take a look in the top10 of PTC sites.
- Read very carefully the TOS (Terms Of Service). Some sites do not pay; they only are ads exchange sites. Also read the FAQ section. You may find useful information there too.
- Avoid sites, which are promising for example $100 per click or per email. These sites are scams! Usually you will receive per each click $0.0035$ -$0.02
If you wish to invest you can read this topic in PTC Talk forums:
Before you want to invest on PTC-site .
Remember:
PTC sites may have zero tolerance against spamming and cheaters but owners shouldn't forget that we have ZERO TOLERANCE against SCAMMERS!
PTC sites that pay well reviews
Neobux

+ New beautiful design
+ Secure login (https)
+ Truly instant payments
+ First payout is very low: $2
+ Ability to "rent" referrals
- Makes a connection between your clicks and your referral clicks
- Many ads are only for US residents
Personal opinion
Neobux is a different new PTC site: Great design and instant payouts. There are 5-7 ads per day for non-US and 10-15 for US members. TOS makes a connection between your clicks and your referral clicks. That means, you may not get credit for all referral clicks (especially if you are not active). Also standard members earn $0.01 per click, not $0.02 and "Earn up to 10% of every purchase made here by your direct referrals" is valid only for upgraded members.
You can request a payment at $2 then $3, $4 ... When you get to $10 then that will be the minimum for all other payouts.
Neobux is the first PTC which has "rent a referral system". You can rent referrals for $0.20/month and each month you will be able to "fire" the refs that are not good and rent new ones!

Foxcash

+ Minimum 10 ads per day
+ $0.015 per click
- Referral packs are very expensive
Personal opinion
Foxcash has the same owners with xclix, which is a trustable site. Pays $0.015 per click and with minimum 10 ads per day it is very easy to reach minimum payout. Had several problems lately (hacking attempts, bugs and server problems), but foxcash runs smoothly thanks to the efforts of admins. Payout raised to $10 from $5

Personal opinion
With at least 10 ads per day worth $0.10 (total) and short payment delays xclix has the ability to become one of the best ptc sites.

Bux3

+ Minimum 15 ads per day
+ Referral packs have low prices
+ Offers
+ Secure login (https)
+ Support
+ Fast servers
- Long payment delays (~80 days for free and ~40 for premium members)
- Rumors that most referrals Bux3 sells, are bots (fictitious)
Personal opinion
At the beginning bux3.com had similar design to bux.to. Now they have a new and nice design, proof that the owner cares about his site. With 15-20 ads per day plus some offers you can reach easily $10, but you will have to wait for 60 business (=80 calendar) days if you are a standard member for payment.

- Similar design to bux.to
Personal opinion
10bux has the same owners with Paidclicks and I saw several payment proofs in forums. Less than 10 ads per day for standard members (but 40-50 for premiums and $0.0125 per click), not the strongest point of this site.

PTC sites in issue

I am also (new) member in these PTC sites:
fastestbux.com-> 12+ ads per day
UrOnlineBux.com -> Not something special. TOS: "All accounts that have been inactive for more than 14 days (2 weeks) will be terminated and all earnings lost. Inactive= clicking less than 1 ads per 2 weeks (14 days). With this term UrOnlineBux.com has a great potential to turn into a scam.
crewbux.com -> Admin is trying to steal your referrals: "If you registered in without referrer, you get $0.11 reg bonus!".
2bux.net -> $0.02 per click, 20+ ads per day. FAQ: "You can request for payment once you're account balance is the minimum amount accumulated. Your payment will be processed and issued via PayPal or Alertpay within 10 business days or more." Now if you try to enter 2bux you'll receive this message: "We're moving to another server...We'll be back 2-3 hours later...Thanks for your patience...". This message is there since Tuesday (6-May-2008)...
bux2you.com: Site was down again (three times in three weeks) and now it's up again but with problems. Has serious problems with hosts; probably owner chooses free or low cost hosts who do not support PTC sites. Despite all these problems I was paid.
I am testing these sites at the moment and after a couple of weeks I'll review them.
Other PTCS
master-clicks.com: You have to be premium member to cashout. master-clicks.com is an ads exchange site rather than a ptc site.
titanclicks.com: titanclicks had the same owners with advercash and turbobux. Now has new owner. But with rates from $0.001 - $0.005 you will need a century to earn $10 in order to cashout.
paidclicks.ws: I was member in paidclicks for more than 2.5 months and I had in my account only $3.3 (~$0.05 per day). I don't like the login process.
got-bux.com: Worse than paidclicks (<$0.01!!).
Back to contents
From a great PTC site, Advercash turned into a worthless one. Only 3-4 ads worth ~$0.03, offers which are only for US residents (and not sure if they pay after completing an offer) and a very high payout, $15. Admin of Advercash, Cronus said that now offers will be the "main source". If you are not US resident there is no reason to join. A new member without referrals will need at least ten to twelve months to earn $15.
Admins are still trying to update Advercash. Almost five weeks now and they cannot finish this job. Many users (including me) don't like that and you can see the impact on my referrals clicks. From 35-40 clicks average per day I am now receiving less than 20 clicks. Advercash seems to be abandoned.
Even they'll finish update one day I don't believe that Advercash will be the great PTC used to be (more info)
Referral activity: In the diagram below you can see my referrals activity.
Referrals Bought: 10, active only 2 or 3, record:4! (bots or unlucky?)
Total number of Referrals: 15
Inactive Referrals: 10
Total Average clicks per day: ~20
Average click from (10) Referral pack bought: <14
Referral pack rating: 3/10 ~ Don't buy referrals if you are member in advercash!

(If you can't see this image "thank" imageshack)
Day 1 = 2/Apr/2008
Day 31 = 2/May/2008
Days 5-31: Site update
Days 5-7: not able to collect data
**LATEST NEWS (Ref activity)**
21-Apr-2008 (Day 20): my referrals clicked only 10 ads. Yes 15 referrals, only 10 clicks!
28-Apr-2008 (Day 27): new negative record: only 4 clicks from 15 refs!!
Turbobux.com used to be one of the best PTC sites. Had the same owners with Advercash, Titanclicks, ubux and now is worthless like Advercash.
2-4 ads per day worth <$0.04 and $20! payout. I have there 9 referrals (and $~7) and I'll need ~90 days to earn $13 in order to cashout. That's why you should not join turbobux.com and of course if you are already member don't buy referrals
Scam sites: Personal experience
Sites that they do not exist anymore
Clix4coins was promising $3 for just creating an account and $ .01 .02 .03 ads. Of course the owner was not able to afford his promises. He changed the earning system, and the $4 I had in my account diminished to $0.2 After a few days simply Clix4coins disappeared.
Ibux.ca owner told that "ibux" was a registered trademark of another company. That's why he had to close.
ubux.biz was created by TitanCash Networks (under new administration now). After a couple weeks sold to Buxor Networks. Sold again to a third unknown owner, but when he saw the debts of ubux he didn't even want to launch it. So ubux now is a bad memory...
Every reason given by PTC sites owners for not paying you is a POOR reason (except you are a cheater).

Back to contents
Be careful: Big scams still running
adverbux.com: Adverbux now accepts only users from United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Reason: Chinese cheaters! This is a bit poor reason. Because Germany, France, Brazil etc are countries far away from China! Also a few hours after the "ban" if you tried to register and your country is "banned" you'd be redirected to bux.to with the owner's referral link. Now you can register a new account (I guess), but if your country is "banned" you'll not be able to login. This move will provide with several inactive referrals the admin for sale!! There are some complaints from US residents users that they are not able to login. Of course if you are able to login and you have referrals, expect that most of them will be "dead".
plusbux.com: Site sold and not its "plusbux reloaded". Previous owners didn't want to pay members and with a very poor reason ("Alertpay blocked our account and we lost our money too"), disappeared. Site now has a new owner: 99.99%, when a site changes ownership is because is a scam. Question: Why new owner will want to pay users who earned money under previous administration? Ubux is a good example...
This is my personal experience/opinion. I can't maintain a scam list because I don't have enough time and also I think that it is not necessary because you can find great and daily updated scam lists.
Last week (1-8 May 2008) two sites where I was member turned into scams: adverbux and plusbux, one turned into a worthless one: turbobux and ubux is gone. Probably "PTC Industry" is dying...
Bux.to
Is it a scam or not?

Just read the following posts in PTC Talk forums from a former worker in bux.to support system:
Post #1
Post #2
Even this guy wasn't working for bux.to he has some points:
"For many months, bux.to has not paid their members within the TOS (30 business days for premium members and 60 business days for standard members)"
That's true: Premiums are paid within 60 business days and standard within 90. There are several complaints about this TOS violation in forums.
"I believe 99% of their earnings only come from the selling of referrals and premium membership."
That's true: Not only bux.to but 99.99% of PTC sites have sponsored ads. That's why soon or late PTC industry will turn into a scam.
"I invested a little over $535 at bux.to and it took me over 6 months to get it back. Yes, in the end I received my final payment from bux and made a profit but I feel guilty about it because I feel that my profit is some other members loss."
Don't believe bux.to success stories. With $535 you can buy 515 referrals and one year premium membership. If each referral clicks 3 ads per day (only 30% active) you'll get your money back in one month, not in six!
Probably bux.to is a ponzi
A realistic earnings(?) example!
You click 10 ads/day $0.10
20 refs click 2 ads/day $0.40
Your daily earnings $0.50
Your weekly earnings $3.50
Your monthly earnings $15.00
Alertpay

You must have an account in Alertpay before you join a PTC site. My advice: Use real information (first name, last name etc). If you enter fictitious information you will not be able to change it and of course not able to withdraw funds in your bank account.
More information about Alertpay.
Why not paypal? Paypal has changed its policy regarding doing business with PTC sites because of scam (fraud) sites. That's why now most PTC sites are paying via Alertpay.

Your comments
Did you like this lens? Do you think that I should make any improvements/changes? Any suggestions?
Feel free to leave comments.
Spam is not accepted
Please do not ask from me to send emails to you for any reason. Also I am not willing to exchange links. Although I believe link exchange is a good way to get traffic, I can't (and I don't want) to check daily if my link is still in a site.
Thank you!
I found this lense very informative and I'm glad I stumble upon it. Happy Clicking to you!

Thanks for your kind comments. To be honest I am not 100% sure if bux3 really pays, but I've seen some proofs in PTC Talk forums. Probably you are a standard member (as I am) and you'll have to wait 60 business days (=80-90 calendar) according to the TOS. If bux3 pays you'll receive your payment soon! Posted May 14, 2008 |

You are right. I'll move it to PTC sites that pay well. I've heard that instant payouts are truly instant. Posted May 11, 2008 |

Appendix
According to wikipedia "An auto clicker can be as simple as a program that instructs the computer to continually press and release the left mouse button" (source). Even google don't like autoclickers "because of their pay per click advertising system".
Common sense: If you find and download an autoclicker program the same thing can do and PTC sites owners. They will spot you and ban you. I am not programmer, but I know that there are many scripts that can automatically monitor all accounts and track autoclickers.
Autoclickers also may contain viruses (trojan, spyware). So be careful!
Multiple accounts
You'll say: It is very difficult to earn money without referrals. Should I create multiple accounts? NO! PTC sites can easily understand if you have multiple accounts. Also you'll have to maintain multiple email and alertpay accounts. Every time you login your IP address is being stored in their databases. If they find two or more accounts with the same IP -> ban!
Common sense: If you create multiple accounts you'll probably need and autoclickers. As a result you'll have even more chances to be banned.
