Neobux a PTC website which maintains a leading position in the PTC Industry

Summary

2012-06-26T17:46:00.000-04:00

Neobux.com - A PTC website which maintains a leading position in the PTC Industry for over Four years now; there is no other PTC website present that has reached the same popularity as Neobux. The amount of payments and users grow everyday. As from 25 June 2012, Neobux has paid its members 76 million US dollars.

Neobux was traditionally classified as a bux site, but since the inception of the new advertisement changes on 13 March 2011 Neobux has evolved into a hybrid PTC model - a combination of a bux, PTC and mini-PTC site (for further information read this). Bux sites generally display self-sponsored ads, and depend on upgrades and rentals to pay its members for viewing those self-sponsored ads. This is the main reason why most bux sites fail and turn scam. Neobux has never ever relied on rentals and upgrades, and therefore has successfully managed to remain up and running as apposed to other bux sites that generally turn scam within 6 months of opening. While many people have previously viewed Neobux as a full bux site the Neobux Admin has repeatedly maintained that Neobux has always been a PTC site; as quoted from an authenticated interview (click here) that was released on 14 August 2011: "NeoBux has always been a PTC website. We never changed our business model, but we did changes (and we will continue to do so) which are welcomed improvements/additions for our users and advertisers ... NeoBux doesn’t differ from that as it’s a PTC underneath with lots of tweaks and additions. The so called “Bux” model is what people refer to the failed attempts to mimic us and that model has many variables which don’t exist in our DNA thus our continued success and their eminent short life ... The only “Bux” part we have is actually in our name."

Prior to 13 March 2011 Neobux displayed a minimum of 4 guaranteed self-sponsored ads daily, while adverts from real advertisers were displayed on a random basis. The current system now allows adverts from real advertisers to be displayed as guaranteed or fixed ads (click here). Combined with the reduction in advertising prices, adverts from real advertisers now feature more predominantly over the self-sponsored ads, thus giving advertisers better exposure.

In addition to keeping advertisers happy, Neobux is aiming to be an even more unique PTC site than what it already is. When Neobux was launched 3 years ago on 25 March 2008, Neobux revolutionised the PTC Industry by introducing the Rent-a-Ref System and Instant Payments. Against all odds Neobux has managed to survive this fickle industry and become the leader, but in the process, many PTC-wannabe owners copied the Neobux model and destroyed the idea of what a PTC website should represent by introducing bots into the rental system, etc. Many were motivated by greed, only to simply make a quick buck for themselves and in turn generate one scam after another. Neobux is now aiming to restore the reputation of the PTC Industry by revolutionising the PTC Industry once again. Neobux was initially developed as a "proof-of-concept: Creating something new, that works, and that others can use the same way". The ultimate vision of the Neobux Admin is to create an industry standard for other PTC sites to follow and influence a new generation of PTC sites who are proud to be called a PTC site: Professional, serious or credible, sustainable, innovative, and caring towards its users. Despite the current shambles the PTC Industry is in, by the end of 2011 some of the changes implemented by Neobux have now been effected on other PTC sites (e.g. Micro Ads), a small but positive step towards that ever elusive vision.

To move away from the erroneous "bux" model in which Neobux was previously classified, and breaking boundaries of what a PTC site should actually be, the Neobux Admin has introduced a new concept or theme: "More simplicity with more earnings for everyone" (see here). With this new PTC model in mind, Neobux plans to develop into a PTC site that:
1. Requires less and less investment (rentals, memberships), eventually requiring little or none. The end result is an exponential increase in earnings for little or no investment especially for PTC users who have no desire to rent referrals.
2. Provides excellent quality advertising at a lower cost service with higher impressions or exposures.

This process began slowly with the introduction of NeoPoints in March 2011. On 15 January 2012, AdPrize (click here) was unveiled marking the official birth of this new revolution, a revolution which will span over a period of 5 years (2012 - 2017).

Please note:

You can invite direct referrals to the website only when you have made 100 clicks and have been a member for at least 15 FULL days.
To be able to buy Golden Membership you need: 50 clicks and be a member of Neobux for at least 15 days.
You cannot buy Golden Membership from your Rental Balance. Select the "Upgrade" button or "+" sign (at the top right next to your Username and Main Balance) and pay for it directly from your AlertPay / Paypal / Neteller account. You may also pay for your Golden Membership via your Main Balance.
To be able to buy a Golden Pack you need: 100 personal clicks and Golden Membership. Golden Pack purchases do not prolong your Golden Membership. You will have to purchase it again even if your Golden Pack year has not finished yet. To buy a Golden Pack click on the Golden Pack Balance in your Account Summary page and deposit the required amount of money. Once you have done this an option will appear to upgrade your account. Note: If you purchase an Ultimate Pack within the first six months of your Golden Membership, your Golden Membership will be extended for free up until the same date as when your Ultimate Pack expires. The offer is only valid for Ultimate Packs.

History

2012-06-26T17:45:00.001-04:00

Early History

Neobux started its pre-launch / pre-registration phase on March 25, 2008. At the beginning people could only invite referrals and communicate on the forum. Those who registered during the pre-launch phase got Pioneer status. The official opening was on April 30, 2008.

A short summary of how Neobux developed early on in 2008:

March 31, 2008 - The option to buy clicks for your advertisements and the ability to upgrade to Golden Membership was added. The price for Golden Membership in the pre-launch phase was $30.

April 8, 2008 - A poll was generated and requested Neobux users to vote. Over 90% of users said "YES" to increase the minimum to cashout by $1 with each cashout requested (up to $10). The poll was closed on 12 April and the rule was implemented.
April 17, 2008 - There were already 19054 members on Neobux and 75 confirmed Golden Members.
April 19, 2008 - Admin had announced that Neobux will offer instant cashouts (it was stated in the TOS before that it will take up to 48 hours to receive payments).
April 30, 2008 - Neobux.com officially opened on April, 30 20:00 GMT.
May 3, 2008 - The option of renting referrals was added. The Rent-A-Ref System revolutionised the PTC Industry along with Instant Payments. The Golden upgrade price increased to $60.
May 17, 2008 - Admin added a red dot for people to click when clicking on their advertisements, as there were a lot of members using autoclickers.

On 8 October 2008 Neobux's Paypal Account was limited (see here). Members were asked to donate funds and eventually Paypal was reinstated. Neobux still continues to provide instant payments to this day.

You can read a detailed report of Neobux's past achievements (up until 2010/01/08) in the following post: "The Neobux Trivia" (click here).

January 3, 2011 - Neobux becomes available in German.

February 12, 2011 - Neobux is over 1000 days old!
February 14, 2011 - Provisional results show that Micro Exposure Advertisements are great for both advertisers and Neobux users who view the ads.
March 25, 2011 - $41 million paid to Neobux Members over a period of 3 years.
June 7, 2011 - Neobux becomes available in Indonesian.
July 22, 2011 - Neobux reaches another new milestone: $50 million paid to its members.
August 12, 2011 - Prices for Fixed Ads are reduced by 40 to 55% and become available to the public; in the past a Support Ticket was required to find out about the prices for Fixed Ads, however one still needs to send a Support Ticket in order to complete the final purchase. Login to your Neobux Account and navigate to the Click pack purchase page to see the prices.
November 8, 2011 - Neobux launches an official G+ page (similar to Twitter alerts).
November 11, 2011 - Prices for purple Fixed Ads are reduced by up to 23% (no official announcement).

For a concise summary of the changes that have occurred during 2011, read this topic: 2011: A Retrospective.

While 2010 saw Neobux having the most profitable year ever, 2011 exceeded 2010 as being the most profitable year not only for Neobux but for its users as well. By December 2011 already $60 million had been paid to Neobux Members over a span of 4 years. In the last 9 months of 2011 a total $20 million cashouts were made.

Current Changes and Achievements for 2012

January 1, 2012 - For the first time ever in Neobux history activity during the Christmas holidays and on New Year's Eve did not drop as compared to previous years.
January 15, 2012 - AdPrize (click here) is introduced, a new concept where PTC users have a chance to earn multiple prizes (NeoPoints, cash prizes and Golden Memberships) by being active, with advertisers simultaneously receiving 2x to 16x extra visualisations depending on the ad package purchased. The more ads you click the greater your chances of earning a prize.

January 17, 2012 - AdPrize exceeded Neobux's expectations; consequently more AdPrize credits / visualisations have been assigned to the click packs.
January 23, 2012:

1. Final changes implemented for AdPrize; more prizes have been allocated in addition to the extra ad credits (click here).

2. Paypal increases their mass payment fees for merchants, which affects Neobux Members who cashout with Paypal. For more details, read here.

January 27, 2012 - The rented referral distribution process is disrupted due to AdPrize. Due to the unanticipated success of AdPrize a higher number of users have started to rent referrals, resulting in a shortage of Rented Referrals. The situation is expected to stabilise within a few weeks due to the exponential rise in new registrations as a consequence of AdPrize (click here).

February 1, 2012 - Neobux introduces NeoPoints Offers: Members can earn NeoPoints by completing offers (beta or trial phase). Offers include tasks, cellphone submits, surveys, downloads, watch videos, etc.
February 2, 2012 - Neobux introduces NeoCoins, a virtual currency which can be converted to cash in the Main Balance; members can earn NeoCoins by completing offers (beta or trial phase).
February 5, 2012 - NeoPoints can longer be converted to funds in the Rental Balance. Currently this is the best available solution to stabilise the rented referral distribution process without affecting users in negative way. Read here.
February 20, 2012 - Due to the continual increase in the number of users participating in AdPrize, Adprize chances and prizes have increased by 50%. The number of AdPrize visualisations for Fixed Ads has also increased.
February 27, 2012 - Beta testing completed; NeoPoint Offers/Coins become fully available to all Neobux Members.
March 25, 2012 - Neobux celebrates its 4th year anniversary (click here).
April 14, 2012 - AdPrize reaches a milestone: $1,000,000 in prizes awarded to Neobux users. Advertisers are also happier than ever: They receive reduced cost per exposure and the advertising results are better with the non-unique exposures compared to the 24-hour unique exposures.
April 30, 2012 - Today marks the official birthday of Neobux. Neobux enters its 5th year of being online (click here).
May 15, 2012:

1. New Neobux Members no longer need to wait 30 days before recruiting direct referrals: The new limit is now 15 days.

2. NeoCoin Offers will now be credited after 30 days instead of 60 days.

3. Golden Pack Holders have unlimited vacation days (previously 30 vacation days) i.e. Golden Pack Holders no longer have to follow Terms of Service 3.7.

May 29, 2012 - Neobux begins displaying the following statistics on their Home page: the total number of registered users, the total number of advertisements visualised by Neobux Members, and the total amount of money cashed out (statistics updated on a daily basis). Read here.

Will I have to pay to play?
Certainly not! No user and / or advertiser will spend a single cent to get the benefits from AdPrize.

Can I withdraw monetary prizes?
Sure you can. Those prizes will be credited to your main balance which means you can do whatever you want with them.

I'm a Golden Member. What happens if I win a Golden Membership?
If you're already a Golden Member one more year will be added to your membership's expiration date. If you're not, you will be upgraded for a full year when you win the prize.

Why aren't referrals given as a prize?
When we held the rented referrals jackpot years ago things were different because availability met demand and a portion could in fact be offered. Although we currently still have referrals available to satisfy most of our users, getting direct referrals is an extremely expensive and exhaustive thing for us. Not only due to the fact that we purchase users' direct referrals but also due to all the advertising campaigns we need to do to get new unreferred members and then select them according to past activity which reduces the amount of users gathered. We prefer to meet demand with what we have right now than to offer a percentage of them as a prize.

What about my privacy?
As always we will never show that you've won a prize because we do respect our user's privacy and security without exception. If you win a prize you can show it in our Forum (the "Your success stories" sub-forum is great for that) and, although we'd appreciate it because it would be a great motivation for other members, it's not required.

Does this interfere with the hourly draw of $0.50?
No, it does not. These are complementary prizes. We'll still give away $1440 in prizes everyday for seeing the regular advertisements and now we'll add approximately $1820 in prizes giving it a total of approximately $3260 in daily prizes with no limit on how many you can win.

Advertisment free credits:

Micro Exposure: 2x:
You'll get what you purchased and the same amount to be viewed again in AdPrize.
Mini Exposure: 5x:
You'll get what you purchased and 4 times more the same amount to be viewed again in AdPrize.
Standard Exposure: 10x:
You'll get what you purchased and 9 times more the same amount to be viewed again in AdPrize.
Extended Exposure: 20x:
You'll get what you purchased and 19 times more the same amount to be viewed again in AdPrize.
Fixed Advertisements: Varies:
Your advertisement will get more views during the exposed period in AdPrize (for all purple fixed advertisements: from 10% to 85% of all AdPrize visualizations depending on the currently available advertisement's AdPrize credits).

A few guidelines:

All bonus credits will be shown in AdPrize for 5 seconds each regardless of the exposure purchased.
Demographically filtered advertisements will be shown unfiltered in AdPrize.
If you don't want your advertisement to be displayed using bonus credits in AdAlert you only need to deactivate that exposure in your advertisements settings page. You can define it individually for each advertisement.
Disabling an advertisement from being displayed won't remove unused bonus credits. Unused bonus credits will only be removed if the advertisement is deleted by you or due to inactivity.
Only advertisements that have been viewed in the past 7 days will be shown in AdPrize.
You'll have a comprehensive running total of credits available and used. Fixed advertisements will get credits even if no credits are available.

Does this means that as an advertiser I will get more clicks to my advertisement?
Yes, it does. You'll get from 2 times to 16 times of what you've purchased.
You can also look at it from the price perspective. The price per click will be approximately the same for every exposure. For example, if you purchase 1000 Standard Exposure Clicks for $16 the price per click will be $0.016 but, since you'll get 8 times what you've purchased, you get 8000 clicks (1000 Standard Exposure and 7000 for the AdPrize), the price per click will be just $0.002. When you compare that 10000 Micro Exposure clicks cost the same $16 you've spent, it's completely amazing yet still unbelievably fair.

What more benefits will my advertisement get?
Besides having more clicks / lower click price, you won't have to suffer the loss of benefits from having a unique exposure. A unique exposure is great for very specific campaigns and every marketer knows that most products and services are only effective when advertised over and over. A unique exposure gives you a "show and forget" campaign which is hardly effective. Now, having that unique exposure exponentially increased by repetitive exposures will increase advertisement campaigns to new heights. Basically you'll purchase a 24 hour unique exposure and get extra ones to make your campaign memorable and exponentially more successful.

Will banner exposure also benefit from this?
Absolutely! Not only the banners in the actual advertisement page will be shown more times than before but also the ones in the advertisement listing page will get all the required attention because the AdPrize button has been placed strategically besides it and below all the advertisements the user has to view. And no, we won't charge you a single cent more for banner exposure. Still the same low prices as always.

CURRENT AVERAGE & PROJECTED AVERAGE

2012-06-26T17:40:00.000-04:00

CURRENT AVERAGE & PROJECTED AVERAGE

Current average:
Today's current rented referrals clicks / Total number of your rented referrals.

For example:

740 clicks / 2000 refs = 0.37 Current average

Projected average:
Is a calculation of what your average might be at the end of the day.

Current avg. * 1440 total minutes in a day / minutes past since (your local time's midnight).

For example:
Current avg. = 0.37
Current time = 11:45 = (60*11+45) = 705 minutes

0.37 * 1440 / 705 = 0.75 Projected average

As the day goes by the two averages current and projected will become the same at end of the 24 hour day.

p.s. If you recycle many ref after you check the graphics the projected average will actually go up because now you might have new refs clicking before the end of day.

What are direct purchases?

Direct purchases are all purchases and transfers you make from your main balance.

It's called "direct" because it saves you the hassle from cashing out and purchasing.

The direct purchase may be AutoPay payments, transfers to the other balances, etc.

External purchases do not count towards the total of direct purchases.

GUIDE FOR NEW MEMBERS

DETERMINE YOUR PERSONAL GOALS AND RISKS

Set some personal goals & budget:

Q:
How much risk am I willing to take, am I conservative or a risk taker?
A:
I am a semi conservative

Q:
How much money am I willing to invest?
A:
I have about $400~$500

Q:
How much energy & time am I willing to invest?
A:
Maybe 2, 3 years or longer

Q:
How much energy & time am I willing to learn the system?
A:
15~30 minutes a day

Q:
Does this rental referral works for me?
A:
For some it works for others it doesn't. Only you can find out for yourself.

Q:
How much do I want to make and what to do with it?
A:
I want a monthly residual income of $200 to buy rare coins

Q:
How many rented or direct referrals do I need to
reach that goal?
A:
I would take a conservative guess maybe $2 for each ref rented, so 500 ref would cost around $1000
renewing 240 days. With a 0.9 or 1.0 average you could possibly make a return of $300~$400 a year.
With a 0.7 or 0.8 average you could also possibly make a return of $130 ~ $220 a year. It all depends on the refs you get and how well you can manage them.

Q:
Do I have back up money just in case the budget is not holding up?
A:
I have another $150 in my saving account, I can also easily borrow $100 or $200 from my uncle

Set small goals or milestones to accomplish.

Examples:

rent & manage 20 refs
rent & manage 100 refs
rent & manage 300 refs
rent & manage 500 refs
rent & manage 1000 refs
rent & manage 1500 refs
rent & manage 2000 refs
rent & manage 4000 refs
rent & manage 6000 refs
rent & manage 10000 refs

personal clicks reached 400
personal clicks reached 1000
personal clicks reached 2000
personal clicks reached 2500
personal clicks reached 5000

How much time it takes and risks involve?
Read the risks posted by Admin

HERE ARE SOME BASIC GUIDE LINES

1. Click all your ad's everyday according to server time.

Read this message about CLICKING ACCORDING TO SERVER TIME

2. Renewal.

Always maintain enough budget for recycling and renewal cost.

When you first rent referrals it is only for 30 days. You must decide again before the 30 days is up how much longer to renew them befor they expire. There is a fee if you let them expire. Standard members: $0.02 Golden members: $0.04

Read this message about RENEWAL FEES AND EXPIRATION FEES

If you manually renew rented referrals longer than 60 days you don't need to have AutoPay ON.
Or use AutoPay to help spread out the cost of renewals.

Read this message about AUTOPAY

Even though it is more costs up front renew rented referrals for longer periods like 90/150/240 days it gives you the better discounts, lowering the averages required and increase proft margin.

Read this message about AUTORENEW

3. Find out your break even average.

For standard member with 1~250 rented referrals the break even average renewing:
15 days = 1.467
30 days = 1.400
60 days = 1.333
90 days = 1.200
150 days = 1.107
240 days = 1.025

For standard member with 251~300 rented referrals the break even average renewing:
15 days = 1.600
30 days = 1.467
60 days = 1.367
90 days = 1.267
150 days = 1.147
240 days = 1.075

Basically if your break even avg is 1.4

For example:
With 20 rented referrals you will need an average of 28 clicks every day to break even.

(28 / 20 = 1.4)

Read this message about break even average

4. Recycling.

If your rented referral has no clicks for over 7 days let the autocycle exchange them for free or else recycle them before that.

Let's talk about averages

Use the export list to keep track of the daily clicks.

Read this message about EXPORT LIST

Wait at least 5 days before you judge a rented referral. The more data you have the easier for you to decide if the ref is clicking in a profitable way for you.

As a suggestion concentrate on older referrals because you have more data to judge them correctly.

Here are some examples:

CLICKER #1:
1st week
0 0 0 2 0 0 0

2nd week
0 0 0 0 0 0 0

3rd week
2 0 0 0 0 0 2

4th week
2 0 2 0 0 0 2

Is this ref a profitable clicker?

CLICKER #2:
1st week
0 4 0 3 0 0 4

2nd week
2 0 3 0 4 0 0

3rd week
4 4 0 3 0 3 0

4th week
3 0 4 4 0 4 2

Is this ref a profitable clicker?

CLICKER #3:
1st week
0 3 0 4 4 0 0

2nd week
4 0 0 0 0 4 0

3rd week
3 0 0 3 2 0 0

4th week
2 0 3 0 0 0 2

And these refs are profitable clickers?

How about this one?

What matters the most is to determine if the refs are consistently clicking above your break even point and recycle the ref that you judge is not longer clicking in a profitable way for you anymore.

Also remember to keep recycling cost at a reasonable level. Higher average with a higher recycling
cost doesn't help to increase your profit.

Not recycling reguarly is not good either keeping a non clickers over 7~14 days just before the free 14 day exchange costs you more money to keep the refs.

Try and test different strategies and do what works for your groups of referrals and improve upon it.

Recycling strategy idea #1

Recycling strategy idea #2

5. Get some direct referrals.

To help enhance your earnings for free.

You can only have direct referrals after being a member for at least 15 days and having at least 100 clicks. Any attempts to get them before that you will lose them!

Here are some ways to get direct referrals:

* Talk to relatives, colleagues and friends.
* Pay to advertise your banner/ref-link in various websites.
* Create your own blog or site.
* Create video in broadcasting sites like Youtube and put your ref-link in the details/info.
* Post in various forums.
* Make any advertisement you can think of in real life.

Here are some more ideas...

Visit the page with the offers and make your selection. Complete as many offers as you like and the NeoPoints will be credited automatically to your account a few minutes later.

NeoCoin offers:
view/complete NeoCoin offers here: http://www.neobux.com/m/nc/

NeoCoin offers are credited 30 days after a successful offer completion. This period is required for security reasons. NeoCoins can only be converted to real money credited directly to your Main Balance.

The conversion rate is as follows: (you need a minimum of 5,000 Neocoins before you can convert to your main balance)

5,000 NeoCoins = $1.0 for each 1000 NeoCoins = $5
10,000 NeoCoins = $1.1 for each 1000 NeoCoins = $11
20,000 NeoCoins = $1.2 for each 1000 NeoCoins = $24
30,000 NeoCoins = $1.3 for each 1000 NeoCoins = $39
40,000 NeoCoins = $1.4 for each 1000 NeoCoins = $56
60,000 NeoCoins = $1.5 for each 1000 NeoCoins = $90
80,000 NeoCoins = $1.6 for each 1000 NeoCoins = $128
100,000 NeoCoins = $1.7 for each 1000 NeoCoins = $170

You can convert your NeoCoins as soon as you have enough and after the 30 days period.

Also NeoCoin offers will grant you a referral commission from your direct referrals' offers. You'll get 20% of the amount of NeoCoins each of your direct referrals earns. For example, if your direct referral earns 20,000 NeoCoins you'll get 4,000 NeoCoins. The amount you can earn from all referrals is unlimited as always.

Rules for NeoCoins commissions:

Credited after 30 days

Support
In the case of any pending offer not credited, you'll need to contact the offer's provider support directly. At the top-right of any offer table you'll find a link to do so. Although we'd love to help as always, this time it's a different support you'll need to reach regarding all offers.

SERVER TIME

2012-06-26T17:25:00.001-04:00

SERVER TIME (How to clicking advertisements according to server time)

TOS 3.7
The clicks you earn from referrals are directly related to the clicks you make. If you click at least 4 advertisements being a Standard / Pioneer member or you click at least 9 advertisements being a Golden member, you'll receive all clicks made from your referrals. If you click below that, the maximum you will receive is only the amount of clicks you've made multiplied by the number of

referrals you have. The referral clicks will be calculated based on the clicks you made on the previous day. These calculations are based on the server time which can be seen in the "View Advertisements" page. The only advertisements that will count are: Extended Exposure, Standard Exposure, and Orange Fixed Advertisements.

This means if you click all the orange color fixed ads you'll receive all clicks made from your referrals.

If you click below that, the maximum you will receive is only the amount of clicks you've made multiplied by the number of referrals you have.

What is the server time?

The server is located in Eastern Time (US&Canada)

To figure out how to click according to server time you need to figure out the time difference between
your local time and the current server time.

For example, I am located at pacific time whichis (3 hours behind) or 21 hours ahead of eastern time.

The following info. are needed to figure out the time difference:

1. your advertisement clicks reset time (this is shown as your local time)
2. your local time
3. current server time

and the formula is (need to use the 24 hr time format):

(local time) - (current server time) = (time difference) but if the answer is negative you need to add 24 to it.

Example 1:

1. ad reset time = 02:23
2. current local time = 23:01
3. current server time = 02:01

23:01 - 02:01 = 21:00 (time difference)

Example 2:

1. ad reset time = 14:38
2. current local time = 05:00
3. current server time = 23:00

05:00 - 23:00 = -18:00 + 24:00 = 6:00 (time difference)

From the answers now you can choose bewteen two options and pick the one most convenient to click on your daily (orange color fixed ads):

These are the two options to click in your local time:

Option 1:
click between (ad reset time) ~ (time difference minus 1 minute)
or
Option 2:
click between (time difference) ~ (your ad reset time minus 1 minute)
From example 1:
option 1 = 02:23 ~ 20:59
or
option 2 = 21:00 ~ 02:22

From example 2:
option 1 = 14:38 ~ 05:59
or
option 2 = 06:00 ~ 14:37

The most common mistake is members usually clicks just before ad reset time and then again right after ad reset time.

The easiest way to clicking according to server time is to pick ONLY one of the options (to click your daily orange fixed ads) and don't mix them.

All other types of ads/exposures (micro, mini, std, ext) you can click at anytime.

NOTE:
AdPrize expires at Ad Reset time, it's a good idea not to click just before ad reset time.

You can also try this free excel server time calculator

How to switch from one option to the other and still get credited from your referral clicks
(# of daily ad clicks) x (# of referrals) = # of clicks received.

-Click only half of your daily ads in option 1
-Click the other half of your daily ads in option 2

After the above process you can click all your daily ads now in option 1 or vice versa.

An example for a standard member with 20 rented referrals:
(09:00 is between option 1 &
18:00 is between option 2)

4 clicks @ 09:00 Monday
4 clicks @ 09:00 Tuesday
2 clicks @ 09:00 Wednesday
2 clicks @ 18:00 Wednesday
4 clicks @ 18:00 Thursday
4 clicks @ 18:00 Friday
2 clicks @ 18:00 Saturday
2 clicks @ 09:00 Sunday
and repeat...

you will get up to (2x20) or 40 clicks on Wed, Sat, Sun and unlimited clicks on Mon, Tue, Thur, & Fri. and Wednesday is the only day you will have to click twice in a day but only 2 clicks each.
