Do not invest in PPclix...

noreply@blogger.com (Sagar Patel) — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 16:34:00 +0000

I just felt a need to make a short post about PPclix's current situations. It has stopped paying since a long time. Support tickets aren't answered. Do not invest any money there, it's not worth it.

I don't know what's the future of PPclix, but it's not a right place to invest money there, at least for now.

Identifying best PTC sites.

noreply@blogger.com (Sagar Patel) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 06:30:00 +0000

People ask multiple times the same question: Which are the best PTC sites? No wonder, answer to this question changes month to month, in most cases. I am going to explain my way of identifying the best PTC sites, which run smoothly for long time.

You may think, what exactly I call as smooth running? I call a site running smoothly if it doesn't change it's TOS (Terms of Service) drastically, doesn't exhibit cash flow instability, doesn't lengthen the payout waiting times as the site gets older etc... The best examples of such unstable sites are Bux.to, IsabelMarco, TakeTheGlobe (TTG), Crewbux etc...

So, let me make it short and sweet. Below are the points to take into consideration when you are going to identify a nice PTC to invest in or deal with:

1) Check for the admin of the respected PTC. If you find difficulties doing this yourself, then just go to popular and active PTC forums like ptctalk.com/forums and ask your doubt about the admin there. If admin of respected PTC has closed his previous sites scamming its members, then say NO to his new adventure in scamming people.

2) After following essential step mentioned above, look at click-rates of the PTC. It MUST not exceed 0.01$/click in any case. Check their advertising rates, and calculate if they are making profits by selling ads or not. As usual, it should be at least 12$ to 15$ per 1000 visits; if site is giving 0.01$/click maximum.

3) Never invest in a PTC where admin pops out new problems (better word - Bluffs) for delaying payments. Mind you, I am talking about permanent delays, and not those which are rare. Good sites always get back to previous faster payout times after their temporary problem is solved, if any.

4) Time to go for innovation: Be very confident about those PTC sites which are built from the scratch. It shows the dedication of the admin for his PTC. It also shows that admin has enough funds to treat his PTC as his business, and not like just a personal website. Not to mention, such legit sites come along with instant payouts (or at least, automated ones). Examples: Neobux and PPclix.

5) Be active in forums. Look how admin is responding to members' problems and suggestions. Mostly, bad admins are not able to explain their actions. Stay away from admins who talk more and do less. Neobux admin act more and talk less, while TTG admin talk more and act less. You see the difference already by now :)

6) See if admin is working hard to get advertisers or not. Don't get confident by seeing more ads to click. Examine how are those ads. Are they self-sponsored? Self-sponsored ads include but not limited to: Ads pointing to PTC's own forums, News, Buy referrals, Success stories etc...

So, which are Best PTC sites in my opinion? Here they are: Neobux, PPclix, BuxP, Wordlinx, Clixsense. Only first 3 sites let you invest and earn more as a standard member. You have to be a Premium member at Wordlinx to get enough ads, should mention that, cost of 1 year premium membership is only 10$ there. Clixsense is also the same a Wordlinx, but sadly it has no E-Currency support. All money transactions are to be done via paper cheques only.

Your feedback and questions are always welcome :)

Advertising experience at neobux banner spot.

noreply@blogger.com (Sagar Patel) — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 13:30:00 +0000

I wanted to share my experience with banner advertising at Neobux's surf ads page. The price of this banner ad is 12$/day, but you can get some it at wholesale price if you buy that ad spot for 1 week onwards.

You may think that "12$/day is killing!" Me too was thinking this, but shouldn't we look at what we get out of it? I bought a banner ad for 1 day, showing my PPclix referral banner. The result was 36 direct referrals in PPclix, from that 24 hours banner advertising! So, I got 1 direct referral at 0.33$ only! So, what do you say now? Is it Expensive? I don't think so...

Though, I should also mention that, those 36 referrals were not active clickers. Some even didn't click a single ad ever! I got around 5 to 7 active referrals, as i have observed. But yes, those inactive ones may get started at clicking at any time, depending on their mood ;)

Overall, I am happy that I advertised at neobux banner spot. Mind you though, don't advertise old sites, as many people may have already joined them.

And to buy that spot, you should send a support ticket to neobux support team, mentioning that you are interested in buying a banner spot. After you send support ticket, they would reply to you asking you to send a payment first, and provide a banner along with the link (URL).

Please share you advertising experience in PTC sites also...

Neobux introduces a unique security enhancement: Neobux Security Card

noreply@blogger.com (Sagar Patel) — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 14:11:00 +0000

As per his addiction, Neobux admin gave a nice surprise to all members by introducing a Security Card, making it impossible for hackers to hack someone's account!

Yes, it's not free, rather its introductory price is 50$, so it would go higher than 50$ after sometime. But this is the best way to keep your Neobux account secure, if you have invested or earning a lot of money.

Instead of posting more details here, it would be nice to give a direct link to the announcement: http://www.neobux.com/forum/?frmid=3&tpcid=32406

Happy clicking!

Getting success in PTC investments, it's all about timing and controlling your greed.

noreply@blogger.com (Sagar Patel) — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 15:40:00 +0000

First of all, let me explain how most of the Bux PTC sites (those which give 0.005$ to 0.01$ per click, and 50% to 100% earnings from referrals) work. They are simply Ponzi scemes, read here what ponzi means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme

Mostly, such PTC sites are started as ponzi schemes, and if not, they end up in this due to lack of entreprenuership. Bux PTC sites can be run as serious business (like that of neobux's case), otherwise their Healthy life is too short. It's pretty much like trading, where one gains money because someone else loses it.

OK, so you should be knowing already that PTC domain isn't a well formed market, and there is high risk of losing invested money. But there are ceratin rule of thumbs you can use to get success in such investments. Though, keep in mind I can't guarantee you that this will always work, because it's not science we are talking about, it's market.

So, I will mention some simple rules to follow to get safest position in PTC investments.

1) Never invest your money in PTC sites that are run on Default scripts, like those of Bux.to, pay2surf.net and so on. Such script can be bought for cheap rates, so it gives us hint that admin has no large funds to run his PTC, nor he has bachup funds to cover any disaster to his PTC.
All in all, such PTC sites are just personal websites, beaware of investing!

2) If we exclude sites like those mentioned above, there are left like Sandraclicks and Buxout (both are scam now). They do have initial funds, but they lack creativity. They just follow someone blindly (both followed neobux). But yes, it's about investments and not about ethics, right?! So, if you find any PTC very new and popular among the clickers community, and if you see many people investing their money in it, just go ahead and invest money in it. Mostly, you have better chances to get your ROI back in such cases, assuming you can get ROI in 30 to 50 days. You will keep earning till that PTC shows some signs of warning.
Such warnings can include: Too good (means fast) ROI, bot selling confirmity etc...

3) If Hot PTC sites for investors starts delaying payments (in case of non-instant payouts) or put a limit on daily cashouts (in case of both instant and non-instant payouts), then it's time to stop further investments. Don't be greedy (in other words, blind) to keep investing there, whatever the reason admin gives us for excuses. Just forget that site, and start finding a new one ...

4) Avoid sites with long payment delays to Premium members, again, whatever reasons they give for delaying payments. Such sites are IsabelMarco, taketheglobe (TTG), Bux.to etc...

5) Visit corresponding PTC forum, and also public PTC forums to find out current level of satisfaction from investments in that PTC of your interest. Don't shoot blindly.

If you are an old PTC player, then the most important point for you should be point-2. Don't forget, nothing can sustain itself if it is too good to be true.

Have success to all...

Buxout gone out of my Top 3 PTC sites, read why.

noreply@blogger.com (Sagar Patel) — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 11:07:00 +0000

UPDATE: Buxout is closed, forever. Old post is belove...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buxout has got some instability in money-flow, as every referral Selling bux PTC faces it sooner or later. Before going on further discussion, here is the official announcement made by Buxout :
http://www.buxout.com/forum/index.php/topic,7255.0.html

As a solution to this, they are thinking of implementing referral Renting system (as that of neobux). See this: http://www.buxout.com/forum/index.php/topic,7418.0.html

But I don't think such a decision should be made via a Poll. And it's nice to see that they have already mentioned it that, the action won't be dependent on the poll results.

But as far as current conditions are concerned, Buxout is certainly not a safe (or at least, HOT) place to invest money now. I hope that PPclix admin would learn something from this event, as PPclix is also selling referrals instead of renting them.

So, which site has taken Buxout's place in Top 3 list? I am really confused at this, as I see two candidates for this: PPclix and Wordlinx. Certainly, PPclix is very new site, and has to prove itself first. While, Wordlinx isn't suitable for free members, they almost don't get ads to click on. One must be a Premium member to get ads. I must note that, it costs only 10$ to get 1 year premium membership in Wordlinx, and you can click many many ads, if you keep checking for it frequently. Oh, did I forget to say that Worlinx is running since last 5 years!

So, for now, I give Wordlinx a place in my Top 3 PTC sites ;)

Making PTC sites attractive for Advertisers, what can we do as clickers?

noreply@blogger.com (Sagar Patel) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 12:28:00 +0000

I should mention that, current PTC world is not so attractive for Real Advertisers (I am not talking about PTC referral link advertisers). Though, current picture looks better with big and long term PTC sites like neobux, buxout and PPclix.

There is no doubt that, PTC advertising lacks improved targeting, as can one get from PPC networks like Google Adwords. But one should not forget also that, PTC advertising is way cheaper than PPC one. If one advertise to only premium members of PTC sites, then it can bring really good results. And yes, why to forget click-fraud in PPC advertising? I just found this after searching a little :
http://www.alchemistmedia.com/blog/google-admits-adsense-click-fraud-rate-is-above-20

So, let us attract Real and Big advertisers to PTC world. Here is a good discussion going on, which describes how ethical clicking can make this sick PTC world healthier:
http://ptctalk.com/forums/index.php/topic,39825.30.html

Please skip some flaming and personal chat there, I hope you can extract what is important...
Waiting for your feedback and action, let's make it better :)

TTG is owned by Big Liar, and it’s proven solidly.

noreply@blogger.com (Sagar Patel) — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 13:34:00 +0000

You may be a fan of TakeTheGlobe.com, and may not like to accept it, but it’s true. TTG is owned by a person who is a very good and clever Liar.

Instead of giving whole description here, I would like to give you a link to a forum thread, where all proofs and descriptions are given. Because it’s very long discussion (mostly due to spamming posts of TTG-supporters), I will mention very important links for you:

Read carefully, and decide yourself.
http://ptctalk.com/forums/index.php/topic,39233.0.html – This is the address of that thread, and of course, I am that “patelsagar” who started the thread ;)

And here is how TTG admin replied to me and others. All people were hoping some legit answers to legit questions, but admin had no answers, and so he started name-calling and actually Barked as a Beast. Just see this:
http://ptctalk.com/forums/index.php/topic,39233.260.html

The weird thing is that, TTG admin banned some members for asking these questions. One member was “san95”, who did NOT have any account in TTG!!! Can you imagine what the deal is?

I would like to post a blog-post written by a very experienced person, which also points out that TTG is a sinking ship, and selling bots:
http://fraudmonitor.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/when-history-repeatsdo-we-notice/

Actually, their Bot Script was leaked by accident, and here is a thread related to that: http://ptctalk.com/forums/index.php/topic,39074.0.html
Though, General Admin of TTG came and presented lame excuses, but in fact, the first point mentioned in the thread http://ptctalk.com/forums/index.php/topic,39233.0.html itself is enough to point out Bot-selling activity of TTG.

If you have invested recently in TTG, I wish you good luck, because TTG is very unsustainable PTC, and is owned by a Liar. Don’t forget, a liar can cheat anytime, anyone…

And don't think that it's paying currently so it is an honest site, they are hiding many things. They are expecting to pay current payouts debt with their new version, TTGv2. But in fact they are planning to introduce CPA (Cost Per Action) ads. Now, their weird claim is that they have CPA advertisers that are ready to pay 5000$/1000 signups. This is correct, if and only if those offers require Payment info like credit card number etc..

Also, CPA offers are highly influenced by Country of origin, that is Tiers. If you are experienced in CPA websites like cashcrate.com, then you should be knowing this already. It is 100% sure that most CPA ads are for Tier-1 countries like USA, Canada etc. So it's very clear that only a very small percentage of members will get such offers.

Best of luck, God bless you with your investments in TTG...

Top PTC sites running currently, there are only 3!

noreply@blogger.com (Sagar Patel) — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:18:00 +0000

UPDATE: Buxout is no longer my favourite PTC, read this: http://ptcbleepings.blogspot.com/2008/12/buxout-gone-out-of-my-top-3-ptc-sites.html

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to introduce my readers to top 3 PTC sites running currently. This is my list, so it may happen that someone else give you other than this list. Anyway, I try my best, don’t forget please ;)

Top 3 sites are: Neobux, Buxout and BuxP. I must mention that PPclix is also a new promising PTC, having built from scratch and rich with many features. But it has to prove itself first, so I don't include it in Top 3 sites now.
I would like to mention why I put them in top 3 list:

Neobux:

It’s simply a legendary PTC, which changed many aspects of PTC world thoroughly. As a PTC clicker, one could never imagine a site like neobux, but it emerged, at last. And yes, it's not built on a typical default script, but it's designed from scratch.

Neobux is the most secure PTC, having 256 bit SSL security, a virtual Keyboard like that of on websites of Banks. It pays instantly, you request your payout and you get it in seconds to your PayPal or AlertPay account. All transactions are automated, no waiting for approval of any purchase or withdraw. That doesn’t mean that neobux is a heaven for cheaters, it does check accounts thoroughly before one gets his/her payment.

Neobux has a strong anti-auto clicker system, so that advertisers don’t lose their money. It has more than 2 million members already, and has paid more than 3.5 million USD.

After neobux started instant payouts, many followed it, but the only site that is still healthy with it, is Neobux :) Ohh, why I forgot that neobux was the site, which started referral Renting instead of referral Selling, a step towards stability in system.

Whatever someone says, neobux admin is a Genius person, at least in PTC domain :)

Before you invest in Neobux:

Keep in mind that, if you want to get Golden membership (worth 90$), you should rent at least 300 to 500 referrals first as standard member. The reason behind this is that, if you are a Golden member, it is very hard to rent more referrals, because there is certain limit of referrals available to rent daily for all Golden members. This limit is really too low as compared to what Golden members are hunting for, so be wise and get as many referrals as possible as standard member before you upgrade your account.

Instead of making this post longer, I would like to post more about Buxout and BuxP in further posts…

Introduction to PTC world.

noreply@blogger.com (Sagar Patel) — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 06:38:00 +0000

What is a PTC? PTC stands for “Paid To Click”.

Yes, members of a PTC are supposed to be paid some money for just clicking on provided ads. These ads are available on every 24 hours schedule, meaning that you can click the same ads again after 24 hours period.

These PTCs pay its members via Online Payment Processors like PayPal, Alertpay etc. Alertpay is the most famous medium nowadays in PTC domain. One should check a particular PTC’s TOS (Terms Of Service) to get information about minimum payout threshold, speed of getting paid after requesting cash out etc.

But due to flaws in PTC model, most of the PTCs are having very short life-span. Many of the PTCs are opened just to Scam people! So, to avoid scamming and getting better idea of PTC sites, I recommend joining PTC forums, like www.PTCtalk.com/forums, www.GPTzone.com, www.earnmoneyspace.com, www.ptcdiscussion.com etc.

An extensive guide on PTCs are provided here also: http://www.squidoo.com/ptcsitesguide

Please read it, though it’s long, to have a much better start in this domain.

Now there are many other blogs about PTC sites, then what new you will find here? Just wait and see ;)
