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

Adverbux has a nice number of ads

Adverbux has been around for some time now. It has survived the Paypal lock out of admins of Paid to Click Ads sites. Admins from now scam sites used to accuse AdverBux of many things, but the truth was revealed when AdverBux lasted and thier PTC sites failed.

It hasn't been caught up in the hype of lower payments, so the $10 cashout remains, as does thier impressive record of payments over that time they have been up.

There are at least 10 Ads a day at the site, and recently they have included Adult Advertising which I think is a good move considering that is one of the biggest industries on the Internet.

So if you are looking for a stable, well recognised Get Paid to Click Ads site, then Adverbux is the place you want to be

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.

OsoBux had some wierd page

What a wierd page I got when trying to view OsoBux, it look all strange to me. It had all these jumbled letters and no links of any kind. Let's hope that the situation is fixed quickly

MacoBux has an Ad Problem

Well I can't seem to click any ads at MacoBux, it's been like that for a week now so something is going wrong at that site. I've tried using Firefox 3 which was suggested by the Admin at thier Forums but that doesn't seem to work either. So I'm nt sure what I will do

PPClix was down for a few hours

PPClix was down earlier when I tried to log on, but it looks like the site is up and running. I'm not sure if it was there or not but I did notice that you can only earn from referral clicks if you click ads as well. The server is really slow though, let's hope it improves in speed

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.
