Asparilla's PTC, PTR & Bux.to

Hi! I'm BACK! :D

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 18:38:00 +0000

Hi!

I decided to start this blog up again and will be posting some of the sites I've stuck with (so many have closed/disappeared since I last posted!) But, there are also some great sites that have been able to weather the storms and have good and reliable,owners. They seem to have hit on what works and have struck the balance needed to make the sites (relatively) sustainable. I've joined some new ones too that are doing ok... =0)

I'll probably get some time tomorrow to update... Feel free to look around, ask questions, tell me what u think! :)

I'm Almost Back! Sorry... ;)

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 19:18:00 +0000

G'Day! ;)

So much has been happening... haven't got round to updating (plus I'm going to be out of internet contact for another 3 days =o( )

I have some good PTC news though... =o) It seems like so many of the sites that have fallen victim to DoS and DDoS attacks have been able to come back and have invested in suitable protection! Good on them! Others are trying to find, I guess, cheaper alternative ways to protect their sites. 10Bux has said it will be back up again soon. I'll be glad if it does as it was a good earner for me (and others). Bux.to is of course, making BIG steps in the right direction with its building and installation of new high-speed servers, including 24/7 protection. It will be so good when they install the new script and really get into gear with payments.

AdverCash has been sold and will continue to pay out! :) The new owner is looking at the script and making some fixes. There are lots of Ads and these are working well. Previously, well recently anyway, a lot of Ads didn't load properly and had to be re-clicked, so much so that it was easier to pass them by and wait for another day. Now, however, it all seems to be going smoothly. I wonder what other changes there will be at AdverCash? The new owner seems pretty keen to do more with the site so things are looking up! :)

I've been paid by several PTC's in the last few days... Yay! :) Sorry, I don't have time to give the exact details, but these ones have been good! :) ThinkBux: 2 Payments! (There are heaps of Ads popping up, a real bonanza-check throughout the day/night if you can... all of a sudden there can be masses of Ads!) GaborBux (My first payment!); Yet another BlueBayPTR :D ; also another, reliable, little payment from GlobalCashClicks (another site that's great for advertising on.)

I'll be back in a few days with some more updates... Stay happy, and keep clicking, if you can! ;)

Btw, thanks for your comment GravitronRing, I really appreciate it! =D You are right about NeoBux! The owner is really active and moves quickly to address any issues, listens to members and is willing to experiment to reach a happy balance of a sustainable site that benefits both owner and members! All good! Your stats look fine too... :)

Ciao for now!

Requested Another Payment From BlueBay...

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 18:08:00 +0000

Hi Again!

I requested another payment from BlueBayPTR (USD3.00). I really like it! =o) I had neglected it for so long, only occasionally clicking, but now I realise it's actually a pretty nice Little Earner! ;) And payments are fast...

I've found the best way to use BlueBayPTR is to bookmark the "New Inbox" and keep checking it throughout the DAY (GMT time). There are heaps of ads =o) I open them in tabs and then check them once I've cleared the list. I try to click one of the search links on them to be fair to the ones advertising. I then close the windows systematically and refresh the "New Inbox" page. Usually there are more ads. I check every now and then for more throughout the day! :)

It's also quite cheap to advertise there!

AdverCash is back online again after a 20 hour DOS attack...

Happy Clicking!

ThinkBux & NeoBux Today!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 14:41:00 +0000

I've had 3 good things happen in PTC-Land today! :)

First, I requested and almost IMMEDIATELY received another payment (USD5.60) from ThinkBux! (I'm really impressed with this site, so much so I purchased another 10 referrals yesterday!) I've received a total of USD15.65 from ThinkBux)

Second, I rented 30 referrals from NeoBux! Anyone who is a Golden Member knows how difficult this is... If you are yet to join, or if you are already a member, rent any referrals you would like BEFORE you upgrade. Once you are a Golden upgrade it is difficult to rent refs. Please note, the upgrade is worth it though if you have referrals! :)

Thirdly, I requested and received an instant payment from NeoBux too (USD9.27 making it a total of USD30.79)

Bux.to is going well. This weekend engineers are working on the wiring and setting up the cabinet for the new servers. Around Wednesday Bux.to should have received all the hardware ordered and will have a better idea of the time frame involved.

Many other sites seem to be down due to DoS/DDoS attacks... =o(

If You Have Trouble Logging In To Bux.to...

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:05:00 +0000

Bux.to is back up and running... being protected, while waiting for the move to new servers, by Blockdos.net.

If you want to avoid any problems accessing Bux.to, it's recommended you go via this address.

Bux.to is Moving to NEW SERVERS!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 04:21:00 +0000

Good news! :D

Bux.to is moving to its new servers and hosting company! BuxReload will be initiated!

Click Here for more information!

Today, a long-term agreement was signed for a private complex rack set up. The private cluster has already been designed. Bux.to will be an Enterprise Category client which means they will get specialised treatment if and when issues arise. ThePlanet have entire teams soley dedicated to Enterprise clients, looking after Bux.to's servers 24/7 and making sure everything runs smoothly.

Bux.to's new network has been set up to handle attacks easily and prevent major disruption.

It must be costing a fortune, but it's good to see that Bux.to has the confidence to invest in something that will ensure Bux.to's immediate future. Stick with Bux.to, they have always tried to do the right thing by everyone even in the face of huge obstacles. Other PTC's would have long packed up and gone home... not that they are/were necessarily scams, it's just that the problems faced by some of these PTC's take a lot of ingenuity, know-how, resources and of course, patience to sort out. ;)

Once the MOVE has happened and things calm down a little the backlog of payments will be resolved. Hopefully things will be so much better! Can't wait... but will have to... patiently! ;)

Keep Clicking... (when you can log in! ;) )

Bux3 is also back again, well it's up and down and work is being done to correct problems... I'll be waiting for a little while for things to settle down again there though...

AdverCash-Just Got Mail Saying Payment Received!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:47:00 +0000

Great day today for payments! :D I just received an email saying that AdverCash has sent my USD12.40 ($12.50 - .10c admin fee) to my AlertPay account.

Paid Again By ThinkBux!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:29:00 +0000

Wow! Another USD5.00 requested and received today from ThinkBux. Highly Recommended!

Poor Bux.to is having a bad time. It's been hit by hackers, a DDoS attack. Fortunately, Bux.to is sorting things out. Unfortunately, they have had to ban NEW users from The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (what a mouthful! ;) ) where the attacks must have originated from. Hopefully they will allow new users from there again when all this gets sorted out.

Other PTC's, like NeoBux have had the same thing happen. Just recently there have been heaps of PTC's inaccessible. I still can't log into some of them.

It seems that some hackers have been trying to extort money from PTC's by threatening (and carrying out) Distributed Denial of Service attacks if payment is refused. Bux.to has at least traced these attacks and has hired an International Lawyer specialising in Internet Crime to pursue the perpetrators. They are also putting in measures to minimise damage.

Fortunately, with these types of attacks, NO DATA IS LOST... it just means the "bad guys" try to paralyse computer networks by sending huge amounts of data simultaneously from many individual computers... THAT'S WHY Bux.to and other sites have been inaccessible. It's all pretty mean-spirited and causes a lot of havoc and headaches.

So, keep trying the sites, especially Bux.to, they WILL come back, but expect some ups and downs as they get things sorted. Bux.to is moving to new servers as well, so hopefully there will be added protection when they do.

NeoBux down for a while... MyLot

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 07:31:00 +0000

I joined MyLot a couple of years ago but wasn't active until just recently. Anyone else tried it?

NeoBux has moved to new servers. It's experiencing quite a few problems, it's very hard to access. I guess this will continue for a while until it's all ironed out... Hopefully, when it's fully functioning again it'll be "lightning fast" as promised! :)

Two First Payments Received!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:32:00 +0000

Yay! I received payments from LinkGrand (USD5.10) and BlueBayPTR (USD3.00) both within 24 hours of the requests... IMPRESSIVE! This is the first time I've requested from either! I'll pay a little more attention to them from now on. =o)

Bux.to is s-l-o-w-l-y but surely getting through its payments backlog. AlertPay had a problem for several days and was holding up Bux.to and other companies. Once again, apologies were made and things are going more smoothly.

Paid By THINKBUX & 12Bux!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:36:00 +0000

Hi! :)

I've received my SECOND Payment from 12Bux! Small, but nice! :D

I also received my FIRST Payment from THINKBUX! YAY! =D Impressively fast Payment! :)

10Bux Admin is back from holiday and it looks like payments have started again. I'll post when I receive mine!

Also, AdverCash has lowered their Cash Out from $15.00 to $12.50. Very good move. U can also purchase Referrals and Upgrades at a discount now. There are heaps of Ads to click and it's worth noting, once again, that the more you click, the more Ads you will receive! :D

Ciao!

Received 100 Bux.to Referrals Today!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 18:21:00 +0000

Hi Again!

I received the 100 Referrals I ordered on the 29th! FAST SERVICE considering all the work being done by Bux.to's Staff at the moment! :)

And quite amazing too, when you think of the enormous number of new referrals that are needed to satisfy the number being purchased by very happy members right now! :) Amazing that they don't run out, for a while, at least! They did a while ago, and had to delay and close referral purchases for a short time to build up supplies!

Happy Clicking! :D

Received Cash From BuxCard Today!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:50:00 +0000

It works!!! :D

The first time I have used Bux.to's Payoneer MasterCard BuxCard! :D

When I used the ATM, I didn't have the choices Payoneer said I would have i.e.

Credit Card, Debit Card, Savings, Current, Checking.

You are supposed to choose: Current or Checking as the account to withdraw money from.

I only had Cheque, Savings and Credit Card as options. I chose SAVINGS and everything went through fine! :) This applies for AUSTRALIA, maybe it's different in your country?!?!?

I took out $340 (Oz Dollars) and am left with AUD4.70 on the Card.

I was hoping I could add the card to my PayPal account, but it only allows me to use an account which has Australian Dollars in it. Unfortunately, the BuxCard is in USD and converts to whichever country's funds are being used at the time of transaction. So, it's not possible with PayPal at least. I've asked for information from AlertPay to see if it can be done with them.

I'm really happy anyway! It's all good! :D

I also cashed out another USD.52c from 12Bux :)

AND I've joined BuxHot which seems to be quite a fast earner! :)

PAID BY BUX.TO =oD

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:25:00 +0000

Well, it's happened! :D

Bux.to has really excelled itself and is living up to its promises! Payments are coming thick and fast! And I'm one of the thousands to receive payment tonight! =oD

USD350.45 has come right into my Payoneer BuxCard! I'll try withdrawing from it for the first time tomorrow! :D

My NEXT Bux.to Cash Out will be for USD2800 taking me to a total payout of USD3459

Bux.to - Payments Really Speeded Up... Jumped Ahead!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:45:00 +0000

Excellent news once again about Bux.to =oD Bux.to has just jumped ahead with its payments...as promised!

Bux is now paying:

Bux.to Prepaid MasterCard: 7th to 31st March, 2008

Premium (via AlertPay): 1st to 13th February, 2008

Standard Users: 27th January, 2008

My payment (USD350.45) should come any day now! :D

12Bux Pays!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 08:40:00 +0000

Good News! I've received my first payment from 12Bux. Fast payment! :D They also ROUND UP! So, I received USD0.52c from them in my PayPal account today!

Bux.to has heaps of ads for standard users. I hope they continue to support Bux and click Ads. It's amazing how quickly it all adds up. Once cash outs get back to normal, it'll easily be by far the best PTC around, in ALL ways (not just being the highest earning!)

12Bux First Cash Out!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 06:13:00 +0000

G'day!

I'm home with a cold... and laryngitis... so, I'm pretty useless at the moment! =s

Anyway, I made my first cash out from 12Bux. USD0.51c via PayPal. I haven't received it in my account yet, but I think it will be quick. I'm not sure yet either if they round up or down (cash out was 0.518c)... I'll let you know! ;)

Bux.to just keeps getting better and better... my balance is growing each day. I think they are still doing batches of BuxCard payments. :D

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 16:22:00 +0000

Payments at Bux.to are speeding up... after spending some time concentrating on smaller Standard Users, they are apparently making a concerted effort to pay some of the BuxCard Users (Premium, of course!) I guess after that they will do some Premium AlertPay's.. and then the cycle will begin again until they are up-to-date! It's all good! :D

I joined ThinkBux. It's another good site to join. The Admin is great and responds quickly.

I upgraded immediately (very cheap: $25.99 for a year) which entitles you to more Ads, $0.012c per Ad click and 0.01c from your Referrals. You also get 5 Referrals included. My upgrade seemed to be missing. I went to the forum and asked the Admin how long it usually takes to show up... it was double-checked for me and a problem was spotted and immediately sorted. My upgrade, along with the included Refs, was processed; quickly, politely and with an apology. You can cash out at $5.00. Both PayPal and AlertPay are accepted. Payment is made within 24 hours. If this is they way ThinkBux continues, it should be very successful!

It's Official! Bux.to Will Clear It's Backlog of Payments in About 4 Weeks!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 08:04:00 +0000

Hi everybody! :D

It's OFFICIAL! Bux.to has announced that it should be able to clear its backlog of payments in about 4 weeks! This is some of the best news to be heard in PTC-land!

It will do so much good, reduce so much anxiety (and probably scare and disappoint some of the other PTC sites! ;) )

For me, NeoBux is doing ok. I've upgraded now to Premium so there are a lot more Ads to click and although the pay-per-click rate of Ads for ME hasn't changed, I get more per click from MY REFERRALS! So, all in all, this is a good move I think! Also, NeoBux is pretty smart in that you only get the benefit of your referrals' clicks IF YOU CLICK the day after. If you are away, or just simply lazy (it happens! ;) ) then the $$$ your referrals would normally MAKE FOR YOU go to NeoBux. This is incentive to keep everyone active (including your referrals) and it also has the advantage of helping keep NeoBux alive and well and earning extra income.

10Bux has regular ads. As I've said before, I've cashed out but am still waiting for payment to be received.

I've joined 12Bux and Bux3. Both seem to be pretty good at the moment. There are HEAPS of Ads on Bux3 and once you've clicked one Ad in Bux3 then when you click on subsequent Ads, they open in the same window. This makes it easy to click and keep your screen free of clutter! I like it! :)

Bux.to Is Back Online!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 14:30:00 +0000

Great news that Bux.to is back online! :D

I've also today clicked over 10,000 Ads myself on Bux.to! Wow! I'm amazed, even if no one else is! ;) Whoever my referee is should be really happy! For a USD1 investment, they would've made over USD125 from me (if they are Premium, USD100 if Standard)... they could hardly complain! ;)

L O L ! ! ! I wish I were my referee! ;)

AdverCash went downhill a little while ago, but things seem to be looking up. There are now heaps of Ads (though they aren't worth very much at the moment... hopefully this will change) You really need referrals to help earn. A good thing is though, the more you click, the more Ads you are shown so it pays to log in throughout the day/night to check for more Ads.

Bux.to Is Down Due To A Routing Problem!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:24:00 +0000

Don't worry, Bux.to is temporarily inaccessible due to a routing problem. As soon as it's fixed it'll be right back online! =o)

I cashed out USD10.72 at 10Bux. This will be my first payment from them. Pretty good really! Reliably between 10-12 Ads per day (a few extra pop up but I don't really spend much time there, just click daily!) I purchased 5 referrals and they click well. In a while I might upgrade. :)

I received USD15.00 from AdverCash and purchased 50 more referrals as there was and still is a sale on ($25 for 50 referrals, or try $6 for 5. Both are excellent value. With the 50 referrals pack you also get insurance included which means they will replace up to 25 inactive refs if they haven't clicked at least 17 times and haven't logged in for at least 14 days.)

Anyway, happy clicking! :D

Latest Payment Dates for Bux.to

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 17:07:00 +0000

The latest dates for Bux.to payments are:

Standard: 24th January 08

Premium: 9th February 08

BuxCard: 2nd March 08

Getting closer and closer to my payment! ;)

I cashed out another USD15.00 from AdverCash and am waiting on payment. I'm expecting it around the end of the month to AlertPay. :)

I've also rented 10 referrals (USD2.50 for a month) from NeoBux. So far they are all active and clicking away. I may renew next month if they keep this up! =D

Instant Payment! =D

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 05:33:00 +0000

I just cashed out my first amount from NeoBux. I was quite (happily) surprised to receive the amount IMMEDIATELY to my AlertPay account! Wow! It was only a small amount, but if NeoBux continues this way, it'll be a very good site. So far, it's been reliable with the amount of ads being shown and available to click. I haven't upgraded-I'll keep an eye on this site a little longer before I do. I'll let you know how things go! :D

NeoBux 1st Cashout: $2.01 (USD)

WooHoo! Bux.to Preparing for New Script!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 08:51:00 +0000

Great news!

Bux.to is currently doing a full maintenance on the database in preparation for the new script.

This means they have to take all sales offline and referrals/Premium upgrades as well - until further notice.

Another small delay in things...but it means progress is being made. Things are looking up right now!

Umm... Sorry No Updates... Been Away On Holiday!

noreply@blogger.com (Asparilla) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 22:36:00 +0000

Umm... sorry no updates... I was away on holiday and had no internet connection (LOL, not even mobile phone access-how sad! ;) )

Once I returned, there was so much to do that this was last on the list...

Will update shortly though.

Anyway, Bux.to is going great-Payments are speeding up... a special effort is being made to catch up (especially for those Standard users who have payouts of less than $200 owing!) Unfortunately/fortunately that doesn't include me - I've cashed out MUCH MORE! LOL! ;)
