Bux3, bought 10,000 ad links got 808 hits

Talk about getting ripped off, seems really scammy that I got a fraction of the hits from my advertising at that site. I thought at least I would get value for money. I guess I can kiss the $221 I have left in the account goodbye.

It's been such a bad experience at Bux3, once a promising paying site, that I'm just going to have to convert the last of my money into more advertising.

The Bux3 Archive shows the ad expired with 10,000 hits
The E-Referrer module for my blog shows only 808 hits
And my Expert Counter shows there were 4,000+ hits yesterday

Ahhhh Well, I'll convert the last of my money into 10,000 hits for another PTC Site then I'll likely dump the PTC forever

MacoBux scams to Ads Only

Well this doesn't really come as a surprise, the site has had ad problems where members couldn't view any. Here's the e-mail from the admin..

hello members, macobux is going to change some things...
I can't pay members because there wasn't any purchase over 1 AND 1/2 MONTH so i decided remake macobux to only advertising company. I feel sorry for this but there is no way for me.

Hope you understand it. Thank you.

Also I would to recommend you this awesome new PTC which offer you premium if you will join there untill 10.000 members reached(at the moment is there over 7260 members registered) - site is still in prelaunch. check news section on their forum. It's not regular PTC, check it and you will know it.

Thank you.

Macobux Team

Take not of the part which says, I can't pay members because there wasn't any purchase over 1 AND 1/2 MONTH. This means that the site was putting up ads which was costing the owner and one of the reasons decent PTC sites go from paying to a get paid to click ads scam site.

Most of us would prefer to be paid from a site, we've seen enough PTC Scam Sites and are just hoping that there would be a few more paying sites. While it is good that the admin is keeping the site as an Ads only site, the truth is, people lost REAL MONEY when making purchases from the site.

I will probably not click at the site because I prefer to use Traffic Exchanges where you get better value for your clicking. The site really didn't last that long, so t's goodbye MacoBux

Is 247Bux a scam?

247Bux is a reasonably decent PTC site that has paid members and will continue to do so, but let us take a closer look at the site in this little 247Bux Preview

Unsustainable PTC Site
No matter which way you look at it, when your advertising revenue is not going to cover the expense you're paying to Standard Members, then your site is screwed. Currently, 247Bux is charging a low $6.95 for 1,000 ad links which is a good thing for advertisers. However the site pays $10.00 to standard members for viewing those 1,000 ad links, which means for every 1,000 Ads, the site is losing the minimum of $3.05.

No money for Referrals and Upgraded Members
Most people are under the illusion that a PTC site can function when members purchase Referrals and Upgrades from a site, but the problem is. If the site is struggling to finance thier Standard Members, where will they get the money for members that purchase from the site? Revenue from Sales of Referrals and Upgrades will not last long, and with 247Bux, that is already losing money, this isn't a good sign.

Click on a certain amount of Ads to be paid
Now there is nothing wrong with requiring members to click a certain amount of ads before they will get paid when it is something already stated before a member joins. However there is something seriously screwed up when a PTC site decides that's the way they should go while the site is already been online for a few months.

Instant Paying Premium Members only
NeoBux doesn't need to do it, it pays all members instantly, so why do other sites think they can get away with it? In short, the site is struggling for advertising revenue, so they must promote Upgraded Membership to get money, it is called a Ponzi Scheme. This seems to be a common scam that PTC sites use when they have low advertising prices, or have too many ads that the admin has put up. While it is a benefit to upgraded members, I personally wouldn't upgrade on any site where thier advertising revenue is not going to be enough to pay standard members.

What the hell? Invest then lose Referrals?
Who on earth thought of that scammy rule? It shouldn't matter how much profit a person makes at a PTC, but to penalise them for making that profit is complete stupidity. Members that are purchasing from a PTC Site should expect a decent return with no added strings, BUT we've seen sites like IsabelMarco pulling the same excuse regarding "profit" and deleting referrals.

IndyMom will can invest more 4 times after that she will change to platinum, it's make her referrals gone and she will earn 0.1$ per click and etc. ( All of rules and conditions will show on TOS soon, i'm still create it.) - Admin, 247Bux

Promises to pay standard members
With the new "clicking a certain amount of ads" rule, this should give 247Bux the chance at getting money to pay standard members which is an excellent thing. But will the site be able to last over the long period doing the same? Absolutely not, eventually it will turn out like IsabelMarco which pays only Upgraded Members. Or like a Mike Pratt site like Earn3 which has the daily limit cashout scam.

Conclusion: Is 247Bux a scam?
Since it is continuing to pay members, the site is functioning below the scam radar. However it is certain that if the admin continues to underfund thier account by low advertsing, the site is destined to join many similar scams that have low advertising prices.

With it's new investment rule, the site is not worth investing in, actually the site being unsustainable is the reason you should stay clear. You can take the chance with this site if you choose.

Insta-Bux Scam PTC Site now gone

Well it is official, there is no longer a page at the get paid to click ads scam site Insta-Bux. It really doesn't come as much of a surprise, it only is irritating that we have wasted our time at the site. Worse still I decided to do a preview of the site and it turned out to be junk.

Ahhhh.... well, it's better that the pain of the scam was quick, than learning too late that it was a scam.

BuxKingdom deleted my Account

Well looks like we have another get paid to click ads scam site. For no reason at all, my account at BuxKingdom has gone. The site has been struggling over the last few months where there has been only 1 ad per day. I had been clicking that ad since it was a quick thing to do. Now I find that my e-mail account no longer exists. This is a clear signal that the PTC site is heading toward scamming members. If you were a member then I'd advise you to stop wasting your time at that PTC scam site.

Is Bux.To a Scam?

Of all the PTC sites out there, the one which raises the most doubt about being a scam site is Bux.To. I have been waiting since April 2008 for my payment, I find that inexcusable for a PTC Site to delay payments for 8 - 9 months and counting. I'm almost convinced the site is a PTC Scam from my own experiences.

It has all the ingredients of a paid to click scam.

Self Sponsored Ads
Throughout the year I have been a member of Bux.To, almost 50% of thier Ads were put up by the owner. One of thier Ads, which is for T-Shirts has 657768 or will cost the owner $6577.68. In the past there were ads for Upgrading and purchasing Referrals.

Unrealistically slow Payments
The Get Paid to Click Ads site NeoBux is proof that a site can pay instantly and in big cashouts, it probably is the measure of how good a PTC can be. Waiting 8 - 9 months for a payment is completely ridiculous, it is an attribute of all the scam sites.

Bux.To the PTC Scam Site
I have to concur with people whom have been calling the site a scam, some have reported that thier accounts were deleted after asking about thier payment. These are members that have purchased from the site, now they are worse off because of the scammers at Bux.To.

Dump the Site
If you're not a member of Bux.To, then don't sign up, you'll be wasting your time. If you are a member and waiting for a cashout, just click an ad a day, once you get paid, convert anything remaining into advertsing, then dump the site.

Conclusion
I thought it was about time I did a bux.to review which I guess this post represents, it has been a disappointing get paid to click ads site to be a member of, and the number of excuses they have given over the last year is unacceptable. Some people have been paid there, a fraction of the members waiting for cashout, but don't you be fooled into thinking they will pay you.

Insta-Bux.Net Previewing a new Instant CashOut Site

Insta-Bux.Net, Instant CashOuts, Sign Up Today

Insta-Bux.Net is a get paid to click ads scam site which is now gone, if it returns, don't bother with it

Insta-Bux History 17 Dec 2008 - Bandwidth Exceeded 22 Dec 2008 - Site WatchListed 09 Jan 2009 - Site is a SCAM and is gone

Hahahahahahaha, I'm on a roll here, this is yet another Banner which I filched from a Forum, I'm getting good at this.

Today we have a brand spanking new Instant PayOut Site, I love these sites and should include more of them in my blog for you folks. Insta-Bux looks to be a good site from what I've seen so far.

Really good earning rates at this site, and if it's like any of the other Instant CashOut Sites, this one is going to explode. All the nice things you'd expect from an Instant CashOut site is there, rented referrals are available, although they are a little pricey for a Standard Member.

They have a weekly upgrade which looks tempting, $5, I'd guess that you could upgrade, buy 20 Referrals and should earn your money back. As for me, I'll just plug my blog all over the place like I do because I'm a cheapskate :)

The layout of the site is very nice, it's quick to click the ads which is refreshing, I am looking forward to how the site shapes up over the next few months, for now I'll be there clicking away, I hope to see you there :)

Click for a Buck? Yea Right

Sooner or later you will run into a get paid to click ads site which is promising a Buck for each Ad you Click, naturally anyone with a sound mind would think you will be getting paid a real dollar for viewing an ad. Now if earnings were that simple, they'd be a hundred thousand millionaires which earnt thier cash through ad clicking.

These are all paid to click scams because what you will be REALLY earning is a fraction of a cent. Let's look at some examples of this advertising fraud.

KazarianGPT
I've actually done a posting regarding this site on my blog, you can find the link here

MysteryPTC
Run by the same people whom bought you KazarianGPT, offering $1 per click but getting around $0.01 per advertising link in revenue. Theres no way you will be getting paid a buck per click, in fact I doubt you will even get a cent of real money per click.

ClickForABuck
Probably the worst case of the buck a click sites, it's most recent purchasing special for $20.20, you could buy 560,000 link credits. Which means that's probably how many links you will need to click to earn even a fraction of the $20.20 it is getting. Really, not worth your time to be at that site.

Thier Terms of Service
Nestle in thier ToS, you will find something along the lines, that the money you earn isn't real and is based on the advertising revenue the site gets. In other words, those PTC Sites can decide how much they pay you for the clicks you do and can change thier mind at a drop of the hat. And that is part of thier ptc scam, what you are led to believe that you will be getting a buck, is in fact up to the admin of the site how much you will get paid.

Move along, move along
Some people do like those sites, perhaps they like monopoly money as well, hehehehehe. The truth is, you're much better off at other PTC Sites that are showing you how much you will really earn from clicking ads, than the click for a buck get paid to click ad sites where you'll never earn a "real cent" per ad click.

ClickandBux and TheRichCash considered scam ptc sites

ClickandBux
I haven't been able to this site for a few days now, I've made up my mind and decided that the site is a scam site. It had too many referral paid adlinks, the forum was also filled with spam

TheRichCash
Far too many script errors, late payments and now the site has expired, all a recipe for a scam site which it has proved itself to be. It couldn't afford to pay me my $1.51 cashout


For a list of other scam sites

ElektricBux.Info, thanks for coming, but sorry no scammy upgrades

ElektricBux.Info was a site I joined ages ago, it has always had problems so it's no surprise that the site is only paying Upgraded Members.

Enough is Enough
Damn, another paid to click ads site that you have to upgrade to get paid. What do those admins think? That a majority of us are so thrilled to be getting a cent per click that we have money to upgrade?

I say, PAY me first and then I'll think about it. It's not my fault you got into financial difficulty because of your own bad decisions. I've given you a unique visit for your site, which you are getting income from. I'm not a damn PTC bot, although they treat us like one. PTC Bots don't get paid and neither do members on a site where you need to upgrade.

They moan about members that cheat, yet they are perfectly fine when they do this themselves

ALL Get Paid to Click Ads Sites are SCAMS
Well actually all the ptc sites where you have to upgrade to get paid are SCAM, SCAM, SCAM sites. I've just had enough of those sites, actually I'm more mad at myself for not doing what I should have done a long time ago, DUMP the SITE.

Convert to Advertising, yeah right
As a last desperate attempt to salvage something from the site, I forlornly converted my cash earnings into advertisements, what a rip off, I'm not getting my money's worth.

The case of the disappearing Forum
It should be there !, Honest, it says that the new forum is there, come on they wouldn't lie to us would they? lol. It was there, once, gee I wonder why they removed it. I guess I should have known then ey.

ElektricBux.Info, joins the scammers
I'm convinced that people like the admin at EB are studying to be politicians, who else would have the poor business sense not to realise that thier advertising was only going to land them up the creek. It's easy to pay people when there aren't many to pay.

ElektricBux.Info Upgraded Members, bleed the site dry
Yeah that's right, take them for every cent they have and more, you owe it to us Free Members that are your PTC BOTS courtesy of EB. The quicker the site dies the better for the handful of honest ptc sites.

It was good while it lasted, naaaahhhhh rubbish, it was a crappy experience at a sub par ptc site. We owe it to ourselves to find decent ptc sites and give them our support.

Paid to Click Ads Blogging Tips

Today I thought that I would give you folks some tips regarding Paid to Click Ads Blogs. Some you may already be doing, while others may help you improve being seen at Search Engines.

Blogger is where it's at
Blogger.Com is my pick when it comes to hosting a blog, mainly because it's owned by a huge company and the blog speeds are really good. With Blogger.Com you are also able to name part of the Link which is important. I will assume that you have some Blogging Knowledge for the rest of my tips.

Words in the URL
Words in the URL are just as they sound, a word which is part of the URL. It is important as a PTC Blogger to use names related to paid to click ads. I could have named my blog, jimeous.blogspot.com, but that would mean I would miss out on having keywords for the search engines to find. And so I named my blog with the Search Engines in mind, hence ptc-get-paid-to-click.blogspot.com.

Use good Title Names
This is something I have been guilty of not doing well, mostly because I was lazy, but now I regret that because alot of good content is ignored because search engines think I'm repeating my posts. With Blogger, the Title is used as the last part of your Link, so it's yet another opportunity to have keywords or phrases there. So using a good title can improve your chances of having your Blog picked up

Paid to Click Ads Reviews
One of the best things to do is to write a review about a PTC site. When you're writing your reviews, make it of good quality because the more words you have to buffer keywords, the more favourable your position will be when people are searching for a PTC Site. If you do a preview of a site, especially new sites then you may get some nice searches really early.

Don't forget, you can also rant about a PTC Site, use nice words like scam, bots, cheats since these are popular search words.

Tags
When you're adding TAGS, the first thing I would include is the name of the site that you are reviewing, next add any other words you think people will search for but you have to make sure that these words appear in your post or you're not going to get anywhere.

Use Announcements made at the Paid to Click Ads Site
For content, go around the boards at your PTC Sites and use thier announcements. Don't forget to post a comment at thier board, with your blog link in your signature, and if you want, comment on your blog about the announcement.

REMOVE ADSENSE
If you have any PTC Sites on your blog, I would advise you to remove all adsense advertisements. It is against thier policies to show thier advertisements on a site which promotes clicking, if you have a blog on blogger and you've got adsense ads, your blog will be deleted.

Usage of the META code
Ok, now for something a little interesting, if you're new to the HTML coding then this could be daunting, but if you're not then you're probably already doing this.

* Sign in to your Blogger account
* Choose the Layout Option
* Now choose the EDIT HTML Option

You are now looking at the source code for your blog, what we are looking for is the tag <head>, under that line we will need to put in some META codes/tags

META code for Description
This is an example of my META decription.

<meta content='Easily Earn Money from Home, Get Paid to Click Ads and Get Paid to Sign-Up' name='description'/>

The parts that are in italics, is the description of your blog, you can use the name of your blog or a variant of it. Put that below the <head> tag.

META code for Keywords
This is from my source code, and is an example.

<meta content='get paid to click, earn money at home, earn money from home, free sign-ups, paid per click, paid to join, paid to signup, paid to sign-up, taketheglobe, neobux, best ptc sites, click ads, paid ads, paid to click ads, paid to click, ptc scams. ptc reviews, best ptc sites, honest ptc' name='keywords'/>

To be honest I still haven't come to terms with the keywords, I do think that it is commonsense that these are included in any page that you are creating. Since you get a new page for every posting you are doing, then it's probably wise to include the keywords you are going to be using. Don't worry too much if you aren't doing this because the tags do a similar job.

Just keep in mind that the keywords you choose to use should be surrounded by relevant words, having too many keywords isn't going to help either. Since there is alot to digest I will end it here for now. I'll probably think of a better way to do this post, but it does the job

hahahahahaha

** grins **

Has it been a year since I've been paid to click ads

I think it has, man this year flew by and it's almost Christmas again :)

Last year I had no money in my Paypal Account and I am thrilled to say that....

Nothing has changed in the Department. lol

I began this journey trying to earn some money for a Rapidshare Account. I had been watching television programs and anime, sad thing was you had to download most of them. Rapidshare is a file-hosting site which is reasonably quick even for free members, unfortunately they have limits on how much you can download.

So I needed to find some way of making some money, and I needed a site using Paypal. After many failed attempts and scams, I finally found the earning niche I was looking for, PTC Sites, or Paid to Click Sites. Good thing is they accepted International Members, and it was really easy to get started.

The journey has been a rough one, more sites closed, new sites appeared and then vanished. TakeTheGlobe rose above all the other PTC Sites and rightfully claimed the title of the Best PTC Site there ever has been.

Along the way I used over half of my earnings in PTC Sites, upgrading, buying referrals and advertising my blog. I was paid $1152 for that year, a really nice amount, but I only ended up with a $427 cheque from paypal.

I did get that Rapidshare Account which lasted about 4 months, a MegaUpload Account was bought and expired and now the year is drawing to a close.

Despite all the scam PTC Sites, it is one of the only means for International Members to get paid. There are sites which have promised much, but those are for US Citizens.

My next step for my blog is to share some tips about PTC Blogging, for now though, I think I'll have a little break. It's almost school holidays which means my nephews and nieces will be spending alot of time on my computer.

For those whom joined me on this year long journey, I say a big thank you, I hope you earned some extra pocket money along the way. Happy Clicking Folks

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.
