PPClix.Com Previewing the Anti-IsabelMarco site


Join PPClix, especially all you IsabelMarco Standard Members

I remember how I was introduced to this site, I was searching the web for IsabelMarco when I stumbled across a post by the PPClix.Com Admin regarding some business about IsabelMarco. It was something along the lines that he was going to donate his remaining cashout of $20,000 if they would allow him to help the site out. Typical of IsabelMarco not to take up on the offer, so the PPClix Admin washed his hands of them.

I almost immediately signed up to PPClix on the spot and probably should have but I asked a friend if they were in PPClix, which they weren't so, I signed up under them.

PPClix is a really good looking site and the earnings look really decent. This is another sustainable site and I hope it attracts advertisers because it has the BEST security I have seen at a paid to click site. There isn't much chance that cheaters are going to get through on that site which is great for all of us because cheaters take our earnings and rip ptc sites and advertisers off.

Theres something really interesting on the site regarding Referrals, you can purchase Standard Member Referrals, Premium Referrals and VIP Referrals. Like many sites, the higher your membership the more ads you get, so they prices for those referrals increase.

Now I'm not sure if I would buy anything but Standard Referrals, my thinking is that members that upgrade are generally buying a bunch of referrals to earn some money for them. This leads to them clicking less, of course if the member has just upgraded, then I'm sure you'll make a killing in earnings.

The site is very sustainable because the revenue from advertising will pay for an upgraded member and thier referral commissions.

I absolutely pray that this site stays around forever because there is so much potential in it, I really wouldn't mind if more PTC Sites used thier script because it is quite slick.

I started talking about IsabelMarco and will end on them, if you are a standard member and hate the thought of not getting paid, then line up at PPClix, it's sure to go places.

How can I tell a PTC Site is a scam?

This is a question that is often asked by many new people to get paid to click ads sites and it is a little tricky to clarify but I will do my best.

Things to look out for
There are a few things that you can look out for if the site is potentially a paid to click scam. They are as follows...

The Amount you will Earn
The Amount they charge for Advertising
The type of Advertising on the get paid to click ads site
The activity on the PTC Site's Forum
The opinion of others using a search engine.

The Amount you will Earn
This is an easy one to spot, no person is going to pay you $1 to click an ad because no advertiser is going to buy such expensive advertising. Paid to click sites which are a cent and under, can be considered as possibly good sites to visit. Anything above a cent paid per click is getting a bit sketchy.

The Amount they charge for Advertising
This is an important aspect because this is the main income for a get paid to click ads site. Ignore claims by a PTC Admin that they have low priced advertising because they have other sources of income, this is what MasterBux and DailyClicks admins claimed and as you know by now, they aren't about. Hell I even defended those Admins back in those days. GRRRRRRR.....

Lets get back on topic, at $0.01 paid to click an ad for a Free Member, and $0.01 paid per click paid as commission for thier Referrals, a ptc should be charging around $20 for advertising 1,000 paid links.

The type of Advertising on the get paid to click ads site
Many new ptc sites will have thier own paid advertising links to start off with, this is acceptable for around a month. You will be able to notice these paid ad links because they are advertising one of the following..

- Referral Links where the Referer name is always the same
- Purchasing Links for Upgrading and Referrals on the site
- ClickBank, EBook Selling etc, usually these are done by the admin

The basic thing wrong with a ptc site which has mostly these links is that the owner of the ptc site is getting no money for them, instead he is hoping to get more income when people purchase or sign up to those sites. A ptc's main income should come from revenue from sell advertising links, no sales, no money, no likely payments, probably end up be a ptc scam.

The activity on the PTC Site's Forum
There are a couple of sites I have removed based on thier Forums, clickandbux is one of those sites. The problem with their forums is that it was filled with spam, which indicated that the admin of the site really didn't care. For me it was enough to flag the site.

Usually a well maintained ptc forum, with an active admin, is a sign that the admin will do thier best not to rip anyone off. This does occur at times, mostly due to the admin over-extending themselves with self promoted paid link advertising.

The PTC forum is also a good place to look for complaints, you know, late payments, purchases not recieved and so on. It is also a good place to have your web link in your signature. Heck even if the site is a scam one, it's just worth signing up and posting so others will check out your site.

The opinion of others using a search engine.
MySearchFunds...

In short, if you haven't signed up to that Paid to Search Site, then you are missing out on earnings, I thought I'd just remind people of that in the beginning.

Searching is our friend, PTC Forum's are often filled with propoganda, some PTC Forums ban users for negative postings about thier site, so resorting to a search engine is always a good start.

Use the name of the ptc site and the word scam in your search, or you can use the name of the site and payment proof. Many new sites may not have any hits to start off with, this is normal, however long established PTC sites do have.

Just touching on this subject
So I've talked about a few things you can do to avoid scam ptc sites. Some people actually use these sites to convert thier earnings to advertising, and that's what I'd suggest if you are caught out. Remember, avoid paying your real money in a paid to click site, it really doesn't matter how "trusted" they are, the whole ptc business is so fickle and not really worth losing your savings over.

Of course once you have earnt money from your various ptc sites, then you may be tempted to purchases things from them, that's exactly what I did and I am grateful for it.

Approach a new PTC with some skepticism, however don't let yourself be too tied down by that attitude because you may just miss out. New PTC's should be promoted as soon as you can, it's at that point you can make a quick buck.

And of course, dump any PTC site which isn't meeting your expectations.

Doing stuff for MyLoT

Many of you may have heard about myLoT, it's a site where you will be paid to post, It's been a great experience for me since people may look your myLot User Profile.

Today I decided to check out adding this blog to thier site, you know, every bit of advertising helps out. I have gotten some referrals from the site, not too many but I guess it's 1 more than I would have had previously.

There is alot of things to discuss at the site and it can be good pocket money if you are interested. Anyway, if you're posting to forums without being paid, then perhaps you should do those posts at a site where you are getting paid.

Oh yeah, the site also uses Paypal as a Payment Processor, all great stuff if you ask me.

PTC.ManyHandPrints.Info Review or Preview
So I was at myLoT reading the discussions when one of the members on the board had posted that they were opening a get paid to click ads site, I thought, that's interesting. Since I haven't been joining many sites I thought, hell I may as well give the site a crack.

I was very pleased to see that the site looks very promising, not only that but is sustainable so I could definitely settle at manyhandprints, that's such a cool name too.

The site won't be fully opened until Janurary 01st 2009, so effectively this would be the first PTC site for the new year. They've got this awesome deal on at the moment, take out advertising now and it'll stay there until he starts counting in Janurary.

So there is alot to look forward to, hopefully an official domain and a dedicated server? Maybe I am getting ahead of myself, needless to say, jump aboard and get your advertising in today. It's a shame my AlertPay is empty because I would have bought ads for this blog.

I was searching google a day after I posted this ptc.manyhandprints.info preview/review and I noticed that using the word "manyhandprints", the first link was to thier site and it had my referral.

buawahahahahahahaha

UrOnlineBux, sorry you're not getting my personal details

UrOnlineBux is part of a group which monitors Get Paid to Sites, thier reviews range from insightful to thoughtless as does any half decent site which is reviewing GPT [Get Paid To] Sites. Especially since many of thier reviews come from normal surfers.

We have too many cheaters
Like almost all paid to click sites, UrOnlineBux found out that there are cheaters that are trying to make a quick buck from the site. Unlike the better paid to click sites, UrOnline decided that it is better to ask for personal identification than to fix up thier $1 script. Yeah I know it cost more than a buck for the script, but the point is, they seem to have become slaves to the script rather than having it work for them.

We're honest, we won't use you Personal Identification
How many times have we heard that, the truth is, the site may have intergrity, but people do not. If they can't fix thier cruddy script to detect cheaters, then what chance do they have of a staff member using the information for fraudelent purposes. If thier script isn't secure, what makes them certain that a hacker can't access thier system.

I'm honest, so no thanks, I'd rather lose my earnings at a paid to click site than lose alot more by providing a paid to click site with proof of my identity. It wouldn;t take them much to use that at paypal claiming someone stole thier account then provide them with those personal details.

It's about keeping it real
A paid to click site should never need to have your personal details. if I can have an account at Paypal, which deals with billions of dollars, that I don't need to verify, then why on earth would justify me giving that information to another site.

There was a site in the past which did that, no big surprise that it is no longer around.

I should cancel my cashout
If only I could, then I could convert to Advertising, the site is still paying and it is a decent site for most parts, but to expect me to give them proof of whom I am is ridiculous. I might still click then ask if I can cancel my cashout, but as long as they have such a ridiculous policy of needing proof, it won't be one of my favourite sites.

I guess this is an UrOnlineBux Review of sorts, it's not really praising the site much though

IsabelMarco, the pains of being a standard member

I've been a member of IsabelMarco since almost the beginning of the site. For the early part the site was really good, quick paying with alot of ads. But I was very naive back then, I didn't realise that their advertising income wouldn't be able to pay thier members.

I didn't realise that they were getting no income from half the ads I was clicking on because they had paid links for thier own Referral Sites. There was alot of warnings from people regarding IsabelMarco and that they weren't sustainable. Some Forums' the admin at IsabelMarco defended themselves, saying they would always pay members and they didn't rely on advertising for income.

Well 6 months and more has past and IsabelMarco have been caught with thier pants down. Not only did 90% of the sites they had as paid to click ad links closed down, but they have admitted that they couldn't pay members because they had no money.

If they screw with Standard Members
I think it was a week after I requested a payment at IsabelMarco when they changed thier policy to only pay Upgraded Members. Usually I don't monitor when I a getting a payment until a month later, and that's when I found out about the change. Man that pissed me off because there is no way I am going to upgrade on that site.

They said something on the board along the lines that 60% of Standard Members are cheaters, cheaters that they sold as Referrals, and cheaters they kept to attract advertisers. When the truth and evidence is, that IsabelMarco screwed Standard Members and that makes them 100% Cheaters.

Thanks for Paying but we're taking them
For all purposes, Referrals and Upgrades are Goods you purchase, Upgrading Membership is almost always temporary, but purchasing Referrals is permanent. Someone forgot to tell the folks at IM [IsabelMarco] that, and now they have removed all Referrals that were purchased from the site. Really stinks, thank goodness I didn't buy any from the site.

IsabelMarco, the definition of a Ponzi Site
If you ever wondered what a Ponzi Site is, IsabelMarco is a good example. They are not paying Standard Members, yet they are using them as BOTS to finance thier Referral Rentals. This is PONZI behaviour, a site where you need to upgrade to invest, a site where you are expected to put money in to recieve money back.

Being a standard member at IM isn't worth it, at $9 for a month's Upgrade with NO guarantee of getting paid before it expires means the site isn't worth looking at. Who are they kidding at the site, allowing Standard Members to buy thier IMShares but never paying them.

Time to move on
The sooner the site dies the better but I hope every member that has put in some money in the site gets it back. The site is broke, by thier own doing and at thier current advertising rates will be the worst investment for any person. It is better to cut your ties to the site sonner rather than later.

I've never done an IsabelMarco Review, so this will be as close as it gets, I'm still very unhappy at the site.

Rest In Peace DailyClicks

It was the first place to pay me, the first site I bought an Upgrade from, for me it was a great site for many months. I've used the money on the site to get referrals for other sites.

Along with other sites of the era like, ClickzVault, Bux3, MasterBux and even the adult site PornoBux, all helped me buy a Rapidshare and Megaupload account, at least for a short time.

In the end, DailyClicks scammed it's members, so no matter all the good things that are said about the site, it is a scammer site. The reality is, the site is gone, many people lost thousands of dollars, many people lost thier faith.

Some celebrate that the site is gone, I don't, not because I had a pending cashout of around $400, but because there were others whom put money into the site that were scammed. I was lucky, I got my money back, most were not.

So it's goodbye to one of the first sites which had a crazy amount of ads. I'm lucky I was ignorant back then, or I would have never been paid $148 from the site. I know differently today, sites that have too many ad links that the Owner is financing will eventually get caught with thier pants down.

So now a gravestone is put up on a site with high promises but no delievery, there would be others that followed in those footsteps over my time, but it will be the one I remember with both sadness and madness.

This will be the final version of my DailyClicks Review, a sad end to a promising PTC Site

ClickzVault.Net Review Update ** 28 Oct 2008 **
Looks like we're back in business at ClickVault.Net, and the cashout is $1.00, brilliant stuff, I'll keep the rest of the review the same while I monitor the progress of the site.


ClickzVault.Net Review
On March 07 2008, due to lack of funding, ClickzVault.Net became an Ads Only Site, for many people this was disappointing because it was one of the few sites that had Paypal Payments. But whatever disappointments we felt, paled in comparison with the decision Twysted came to, when changing his site to Ads Only. It wasn't an easy choice and he knew he'd get abused for it, but it was a choice he had to make because income wasn't coming in. Many PTC owners have had to make this choice and those that remain I believe have made a good decision because it gives members an opportunity to use thier existing earnings for Advertising. It's taken me almost a week to write this review because I really wanted to see how ClickzVault.Net would turn out as an Ad's Only Site.

Advertising Opportunites on ClickzVault.Net
CV or ClickzVault.Net ranks as being one of the cheapest Paid To Click Sites to buy Advertising, thier prices are more than reasonable. Advertisers are ensured that REAL people are viewing thier Ads because Twysted is using a "
CHTGC Link" Check point. If you're an advertiser, this is the site you want your Advertising to be on. You can purchase Click Advertising, either Micro or Full Ad Views, Registration Ads, Sponsor Links, Text Site Links and Banner Advertising.

Click Advertising
There are 2 main types of Click Advertising, Full Ads which last 30 seconds or Micro Ads that last for 10 seconds. For $4 you can get 1,000 Micro Ad clicks, this is a great price and an excellent way to get a boost of Traffic especially if you want to promote new Paid to Click Sites.

Registration Advertising
This type of Advertising is a great way to get Referrals at rock bottom prices. Why pay around a buck each for Referrals at thier PTC Site when you can get Sign-Ups for a fraction of the cost. For as little as $3.55 you can place an Ad for 50 Sign-ups, but you'll probably want to spend $8.50 for 50 Sign-ups though, this will be 50 sign-ups @ $0.10, which is a very good offer and will keep you ahead of the competition. Twysted ensures that Registration Advertisers aren't getting stuffed about by members trying to get a free ride, so you're going to get members that will click for you :)

Sponsorship Advertising
$15 for a 30 day Sponsor's link has got to be the best bargain you'll find on a PTC site

Click HERE To Get Credited Link [CHTGC]
ClickzVault uses a CHTGC Link when the timer runs out on an Ad, you must click on it to get credit. This is a major improvement over the previous Credit Me Button because it allows you time to view the page rather than being distracted by continually looking up at a "button".

ClickzVault.Net Staff
Twysted is the type of Administrator that strives to get the best out of his site, he's continually tweaking it and testing out new ideas based on all his experiences in the Paid To Click Business. He's doesn't back away from criticism when it is justifiable but will defend his position until the very end when he knows he's right. He's shown that even when his site is Financially strapped for cash he'll make sure that his members can at least use thier earnings for Advertising, hence the birth of ClickzVault.Net the Ad's Only Site.

My overall experiences with Twysted and the rest of the CV Staff has been outstanding, all questions were answered within a good amount of time and script problems were fixed within moments. Even with the tough transition to an Ads Only Site, the Staff were brilliant.

ClickzVault.Net Overall Impressions
My overall experience at ClickzVault is that it has been a wonderful place to earn money when it was a Paid To Click Site. I've been fortunate to be the recipient of many benefits, which include Free Advertising for my Blog, Free Upgraded Memberships, Free Registration Ads and winning extra Earnings.

Since the change to an Ad's Only Site, I've been lucky that my Blog is continued to be sponsored, and I've got Free Click Advertising. The site is looking great as an Ads Only site with plenty of Ads being available for members.

Ads Only Site


Ads: 15+

Standard Referral Commission: $0.0025
Payment Processors: AlertPay, Paypal
Instant Payouts: AlertPay
Standard CashOut Minimum: $2.00
Referral Renting: $0.30 per month

Sustainability test - Passed
The most major contribution of revenue comes from Paid Advertising Links, the test is to see if the Paid to Click Site can sustain it's site if all advertising was bought from the outside.

Paid Advertising Links: $11 per 1000 Ad Hits
Upgraded Benefits: 100% Referral Commission, no additional income for Member
Cost of Upgraded Member + 999 Referrals: $9.98

Additional Sources of Income for the Site
This is looking at any extra income the site is making, usually this is used to pay for Server Costs and other Expenses which may occur

Banner and Text Advertising
This is also known as Impression Advertising, in short it's advertising which is pure profit because members are not being paid to view it or click on those links.

Referral Rentals
Since all member costs are covered in the Paid Advertising links, all monies from this aspect is profit for the site

Membership Upgrades
Again, this is profit for the site since members costs are already been taken care of.

Overall Impression - 10/10
So far everything is looking great for the site to stay around for some time, now the only thing which would get the site into financial problems is if it starts promoting it's own links. Sign up today and start.

This is a PerformanceBux Review bought to you by me, well it's more of a preview of the site.

AlertPay Cheque of US$427 Arrived today

AlertPay Cheque arrived
I've had a few problems at AlertPay trying to do a Bank transfer to my Account, so I contacted them asking if they supported New Zealand Banks or if the error was related to the Bank Account I used.

In 2 short replies, neither answered those questions, rather it was a copy and paste of the information they had on thier Website. To put it bluntly, the information found on thier site wasn't helpful at all, that's what I was sending the contact in for. It was totally frustrating.

The downside is I lost around $US30+ from exchanging US Dollars to New Zealand and then back again. I'll remember that for next time.

Requesting and waiting for a Cheque
In the end I thought the best option for me was to request a cheque, the "paperwork" or the process was done quickly on the 24th October 2008, which was very pleasing, now was to wait for the cheque to arrive.

Did you know it takes 18 days for mail to be recieved from the US if you live in New Zealand? Well it's something I would find out, with much impatience and worry. I worried that I wouldn't be able to cash the cheque in if it arrived too late. Actually it probably took 15 days if they mailed it out 3 days later.

It's here !!!!!!
Today was a good day, I checked my mail and a nice AlertPay Cheque was waiting for me. $427 United States Dollars, it's actually the first real money I've recieved from my PTC Site because the money in my AlertPay and Paypal Accounts I consider virtual, or not existing until I have some foldy stuff in my hand :)

So for those whom can't get Bank Transfers to work, or are not willing to pay US$15 for a Bank Wire at AlertPay, then try requesting a cheque. Remember it has to be in US Dollars so make sure you have a Bank Account that will accept the currency.

Reflecting on the future

Reflecting on the future
Right now things with TaketheGlobe are going great, I've earned a considerable amount from the Paid To Click Ads Site but I have invested more money than any other Paid To Click Ad Site.

Instant PayOut Sites
In the near future I will be looking at Instant PayOut Sites, these tend to have become quite popular with people although I suspect the they are sell Bots. For those whom don't know what a Bot is, it is a program which will click Ads for you. Ironically if you as a member of a PTC Site use such a program you'll get banned. Bots in the case where PTC Owners use them, is a small piece of coding which will click an amount of ads. PTC Owners sell these off as Referrals.

The best think you can do when signing up to an Instant PayOut site is, don't upgrade, and refuse to buy anything from the site. If I were an advertiser, I wouldn't be purchasing advertising from the site. If you have, check your logs for your site to ensure you are getting what you paid for.

Last time I recall this site was ripped off by one of it's Hosting Revenues, I recall there being ample warning by the admin about closure, I hadn't really earnt much at the site, I'll keep this here for now.


Earning-Cash.Net Review

It's strange at times, this site isn't the a big PTC earner, but the Admin is brilliant. He's forking out most of the Ads out of his own pocket by the looks of things, especially during the Christmas - New Years period when there were a few he had sponsored. I missed out a $10 Ad because I was totally drunk, then again even if I did see it I probably wouldn't have had the vision to see the Ad or the skills to click it :)

Sign-Up Ads
I like this site, mostly because it seems to be run by an Admin that's trying to do his best, so you'll see that the earnings per clicks will drop from time to time. I've got a couple of Ads on the site, a Fast.Sc one which I've gotten some Referrals from and a DailyClicks.Bix one which has been slow because someone else put up a bigger bid. Of course I'm so confident that you'd sign up under my Ad since I know you love me.... right?? buawahahahahahaha.

Earning-Cash.Net is a site that's going places because the Admin, simon4u92 is active at many of the PTC Boards which means the site is trusted :) I hope you all enjoy this site just as much as I do, and I leave you with Happy Clicking Folks.
