GUIDELINES TO CHOSE A GOOD PTC AND OTHER PAID SITES

Pay to Click (PTC) and other paid programs are becoming a popular pattern on internet marketing. They are also interesting for internet user to make online money. However, most of PTC and paid sites are SCAM, cheating or stealing.

If you are considering to join, or being a member of, a PTC site, make sure you choose a qualified sites to gain online dollar. This is a guideline to choose an ideal PTC/R site:

Do a research. Check through search engine, google, yahoo, etc, type the “site name + scam + blog + etc”. You will find lots of info for a particular PTC/R site whether they are doing a scam or not. If it is a new site, new name, you might likely only find few sites telling about the site. If so, you can recheck them. Does the site owned by a reputable owner? Check if the site style have a similarities with other reputable paid programs. Or you can confront to following indicators.

Does the site have a FORUM? Have you read the FAQ? A forum is place for members to discuss a wide issue of particular site, including the payments, complaints, tips, etc. If a PTC site has no FORUM, it tends to be a scam site. A FAQ of site tells you the term of membership including the payment. Read it carefully. Be critical.

Never pay any upfront fee. The sites pay their clicker. Some sites ask for upfront fee form new member. I do not ever pay any. Some paid program sites ask for upgrading fee. You can do this if you have got any payment or you have been recommended by other user you trusted.

Too good to be true. Some sites are promising a lot of money. For example, $2000 in a month, $100 sign up bonus, $5 per click. $100 000 payout for free member. Use your logic. A payout $100 000, it means we need 3 – 4 year to do a daily click. A $5/click means cheating. A normal fee for an advertiser is $15 – 20 per 1000 clicks (1 – 1.5 cent for one reader = c1000 – c1500 for 1000 readers. $5 – 10 for site owner). From this simple calculation, you can decide whether a site will be sustained or not. A $5/click may be true, but if you have upgraded your membership by paying fee around $600. The bonus just for $50. Tricky online money.

Do not be easily joined. There is no guarantee that you will got paid. A popular site or paid program may be collapse in the future due to the competition.

Use a different email for your PTC. Since there are many SCAMer, I never register my very personal email to any paid online program.

Use a specific password. One password for one site, you will be more secured.
