OldSchoolBux Review



OldSchoolBux was a program that originally paid quite well but completely fell apart when it was taken over by an owner that identifies himself as Max Oso. At that point it completely fell apart and stopped paying. Personally, I would avoid any PTC that is associated with Oso.

ThinkBux Review




ThinkBux is another real easy to use paid to click with a very low payout minimum. They recently have raised the payout time which led to a drop in their ranking but they continue to pay and communicate their actions in the forum. I believe their intentions are to lower these payout times in the future. My belief is that you can accept changes like this as long as the admin communicates it to the members and does not leave them out in the cold.

They usually have a good amount of ads available to click on. Their program works easily and smoothly. You log in, go to the ads page, click on the ads, wait for the timer to run down and you have your earnings.

The program offers the ability to purchase referrals with your account balance which is a pretty good way to boost up your earnings. You can also use your account balance to upgrade your account. Both of these items are nice so that you do not have to wait for a payout in order to put your earnings to work.

The good amount of ads available daily will keep most users interested and allow them to accumulate earnings. The payouts are taking place in a very quick manner. Overall a very solid site that works very smoothly.

5iveBux Review



5iveBux is a PTC that looked pretty good at first with a good pay rate and a decent design. Recently their forum has been offline with no communication from site admin. I can find no proof of recent payments and I have serious doubts of this site continuing with a future. It shows that most high pay rate PTCs are not sustainable in the long run.

DollarBux Review



Dollarbux is a paid to click that seems to be trying to emulate some of the great formula at Neobux with some good additions. They have captured a lot of the good ideas and implemented them. The basic use of the site is pretty simple. You log, go to the ads page, click on the ads, wait for the timer to run down and you have your earnings. They have a great amount of ads with around 10 per day. The highly active forum and responsive admin is a good sign that they plan on being around for a while.

One of the great features of Dollarbux is that they allow you to instantly convert your earnings to either referrals, premium membership, offers or ads. This means that you do not have to wait for a cash out to take advantage of any of those items. You can have it directly withdrawn from your account balance.

My personal earning strategy with Dollarbux is as follows:
1. Click ads daily until you have earned enough to purchase 5 referrals.
2. Monitor referral click activity. Replace any referrals that have not clicked in the first three days or become inactive for more than 7 days.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have 50 referrals.
4. At this point, save up your account balance until you have enough to purchase 2 month upgrade from your account balance. This will double your earnings.
5. Continue to click and earn from your referrals. Re-invest your account balance in referral purchases until you have over 100 referrals. Continue to monitor and replace inactive referrals.
6. At this point, save up your account balance until you have enough to purchase one year upgrade from your account balance.
7. When your account reaches $100 withdraw this for yourself, then at $98 purchase 100 referrals. Continue to monitor referral activity and alternate withdrawals for yourself and referral purchases.

This is a really solid program with a lot of earnings potential if someone stays with it. As the program matures it will probably move up to a higher ranking.

BuxUp Review





Buxup is a paid to click that has gone through a few ownership changes lately. During that time they have paid out in a very quick manner and they are currently continuing that trend. Ads are available in a fairly decent quantity with a standard click on the ad, wait for the timer to run down and earn format.

The referral earnings are not that high for this site in comparison to the others but I do not let that concern me. If the program offers a decent number of ads and pays its members than I am willing to put up with a little less in earnings per click.

At this time, I think there is a good opportunity with the click earnings with this site. The relatively low pay out is helpful. But inactive admin and little forum activity make it so I would not invest in the upgrade or referrals at this time. I will keep posting as this site continues to evolve. The most important thing is that the site is still easy to use and they are still paying out. It is a good addition as an extra PTC to earn a little over time. I would add it in as a solid number 10 in your PTC rotation.

Icebux Review

Icebux - Get paid


Important update:
Icebux admin has posted that they have been inactive on payments and ads recently due to injuries suffered in a traffic accident. While I hope for their quick recovery and well being, those involved in the PTC area for a while know that these types of announcements are often followed by the PTC closing down. Admin at this site has always been great and very responsive so I hope that they will eventually return. Until that happens, I can not recommend this program. I will keep it as under review until that happens. Check back for updates.

Icebux is a incredibly easy to use paid to click program with really fast payouts. It is a fairly new program but admin and users seem to be very active. The program itself is very easy to use. Just log in, click the surf ads tab, click on the ad, wait for the timer to run down, and cash earned. Watch out for the anti cheat link on the surf page. It says that if you click on it your account will be deleted ( I have not tested this for obvious reasons).

The payout is fairly low at $7.50 and the both standard and upgraded members get a really quick payout. For those interested in renting referrals, they do have an easy to use referral exchange program that is currently at exchange 5 for $3.50 which is a little cheaper than purchasing new referrals.

The site runs real fast and they have a few additional features. They run a number of contests with various prizes. They have a casino if you want to wager with your earnings. I expect them to add a number of additional features in the near future.

Overall, the ease of use, the availability of clicks and the fast payouts have led me to give this program a very high rating.

Isabelmarco Review




Important update:
Isabelmarco has recently announced several major changes. First of all they have announced that they will no longer pay standard members. Which would defeat the whole purpose of this paid to click program for those just getting started. They have changed a number of other things like referral sales and clicks to be paid out. Until all of this gets sorted out, I am placing this site under review. They continue to pay out and the admin is very active in the forum but this may no longer be a site for those without money to invest.

Isabelmarco is a paid to click site that I was somewhat hesitant to join at first. I had no good reason to feel that way but I found the layout and graphics of the site to be a little strange. But, I kept hearing a lot of really good things about the program including some really good earnings results for some people that I decided to try it out. I am glad that I did give it a go.

The basic idea of the program is very similar to most. You log in, click on the surf tab, click the ad link, wait 30 seconds for the checkmark and you get paid. Very simple stuff. They usually have at least 8 - 10 ads per day and more on some days. The best part of the program is that they pay in a very timely manner for a well established site. I found payments to be made in around 20 days.

Isabelmarco also has a very active forum which is a good sign for a paid to click program. The forum is active in multiple languages as well as English. There are a few of the negative comments that you will find in any honestly run forum but for the most part the users seem very happy. One word of warning on this program is that they do not control adult content quite as tightly as some of the PTCs.

This is a very simple site that has been around for a while. It runs smoothly, it is easy to understand and it pays. It is a good addition to the PTC rotation.

CrewBux Review




I have recently dropped my ranking of Crewbux due to the all of the recent changes there. The program is updated and I believe that they have a lot of improvements coming in the future. But with the release of their Version 4.0, I am currently totally confused with what they are doing. They may be going instant payments but their Terms have lengthened the payment times. They have added additional membership ranks but the standards are confusing. I think they will have this sorted out and they continue to pay. I would recommend joining for the free clicks as the payout level is pretty low but I would hold off on any investment until they sort everything out.

Crewbux is a very easy to use paid to click program that continues to pay its members. The program is very easy to use. To view the ads just login, click on the surf banners tab near the top of the page, click the advertisement banner, wait 30 seconds and you get paid. Not a lot that is fancy about it but it is very easy and effective.

Like most good programs, Crewbux has a very active members forum with a very responsive admin. It appears that they are very intent on keeping the site running effectively and are usually working on implementing improvements for the program. Questions and concerns are addressed very quickly and they are attentive to their members.

Crewbux offers their members the ability to convert converted earning directly to referral purchases or ad purchases. If you are interested in these options, this will keep you from having to wait for payout in order to make these purchases. They also offer a lottery section where you can use your earnings to play for cash prizes.

Another interesting feature of Crewbux is their ranking system. By participating in different aspects of the program you can accumulate different rankings to achieve the ranking of honest member. The different ranks and their requirements are:
Gold Clicker - 100 ads personally viewed
Active Downline - 10,000 referral ad views
Big Downline - 100 Referrals
Support Member - 100 forum posts, 3 payment proof posts, one ad purchase
Premium Member - Premium Membership

Kind of tough to get but getting all of these and achieving the Honest Member rank gives you the following benefits:
$0.015 per personal click
$0.0125 per referral click
15 second ad timer
Priority payments
Lifetime rank status

Another additional bit of information is for payout request for standard members. To help in ensuring that live active members are making the request for payouts. You must post payout request in the form. Remember to register in the forum prior to making the payout request and when you make your request via the link in your account you will be directed to the proper place in the forum. It is a nice safety feature for the program and it takes one minute to do.

NeoBux Review



NeoBux is the gold standard of Paid to Click programs that most new programs try to emulate. I believe that it is now the top paid to click program on the internet. They pay almost instantaneously with a low payout level. All of my payment requests were completed instantly. Your first payout can be made at the low level of $2.00. No more waiting for weeks to receive your payments. You can also use your account balance instantaneously to fund your referral rentals or plays in the jackpot. This timeframe for payments was basically unheard of in PTC programs before NeoBux. I really doubted that it could be done but the payments have been received in the timeframes promised.

They have ads that refresh every day and if you check during the day there will sometimes be additional ads. I found 6 to 8 ads most days at the free member level. Most of the ads are worth $0.01 at the free level but occasionally they are worth more. To access the ads simply click on the view advertisement link from you member page. Next click on the advertisement link. On the advertisement link, a red circle will show up. Just click on the circle and the advertisement page will load in a new window. It is very simple to use and the site appears to be very safe with 256 bit encryption.

NeoBux offers a couple of features that can really help anyone who does not have a lot of money to invest in programs. You can transfer you balance from your clicks to a couple of areas of the program without having to request payment. You can use your balance instantly to rent referrals or play the jackpot. The jackpot has cash prizes and referral prizes with clearly defined odds. I am usually not a great fan of lottery type games but I used my earnings to play the jackpot and won 200 referrals. This is a quick and easy way to reinvest in the program and grow your earnings.

The referral system for this site is great if you are interested in renting referrals. In fact it has been so well received that it is usually very difficult to find referrals available for rent. The way that the system works is that you are able to rent referrals for between $0.20 and $0.30 per month depending on your membership level. These rented referrals will now earn for you with every click that they make. You can renew the referral on these members or choose not to at the end of the month. Another great feature is that you can set the rented referrals for auto pay where there rental fee comes out of the referrals 1st click of the day and saves you 10% on the rental fee.

If you have ever purchased or rented referrals, you know about the dreaded inactive referral. These are the referrals that you pay for that never click and never earn money for you. To alleviate this problem, NeoBux holds each un-referred user for 5 days to make sure that they will be active before renting them. If you do rent one that does not click in the first 14 days you can change it out free of charge. If at any time you are unhappy with the click level or they become inactive later on you can change out that referral for only $0.05. This allows you to keep your referrals clicking and earning you money.

A basic strategy that works very well with Neobux is as follows:

1. Join NeoBux and view your advertisements daily (5 minutes of your time)
2. When your account balance reaches $1, rent 3 referrals from Neobux. Now these 3 referrals will be earning for you as well as yourself. Enable the autopay function and your referrals will pay their monthly rentals out of their own clicks.
3. Use your balance to recycle inactive referrals. When you reach $1 again, repeat step 2. Buy larger groups of referrals if the money is in your account balance.
4. When you have reached 300 rental referrals, use your account balance to upgrade and you will double your earnings.
5. Continue to invest half your earning into referrals and withdraw half for you.


With the excellent payment times and the great referral opportunities, I am very pleased with NeoBux and I am moving it to the top of the paid to click rankings. It is definitely a 10.

10Bux Review





Important update: 10Bux just recently recovered from prolonged denial of service attacks. These attacks do not effect the users but make the site inaccessible. Since their return in the beginning of October 2008, their returns do not appear to be as steady. I am placing this in the under review category until this gets sorted out.

10 Bux is a paid to click that is very similar in format to most of the Bux type paid to clicks. Once you log in, just click on the surf ads link at the top. Once you click this, the advertisement site will pop up and the timer will count down to your credit. The ads are pretty plentiful with usually around 10 per day. The site loads quickly and is very easy to use. One great feature of 10Bux is that they offer a paid to sign-up area where you can ad your own sites at a fairly low cost. For example if I was offering $0.25 to have 50 people join Hits4Pay under my referral link it would cost me $23.54. This is actual sign-ups under the terms that you list. This feature alone is very impressive. I have enjoyed this program and find it real easy to use.

The payouts occur at a regular pace and usually within the 30 days premium and 40 days standard range. The premium upgrade is a little pricey but is worth it if you have referrals. Overall, it is a very solid program with good earnings potential.

E-MailPaysU Review



This program is no longer paying and admin is unresponsive. I would avoid this program.


E-MailPaysU is a combination of paid to click and paid to read that credits your account with $10 when you sign up. They will send e-mails to your personal e-mail account with a link that you click to receive credit. There are similar messages that are sent to an internal mailbox as well that you must sign on to view. You click on a link in these messages and receive credit once a short timer runs down. Each one of these messages are worth either $0.02 or two points (the points are converted to cash quarterly). There is also a paid to click section of the site that will pay $0.005 per click.

With the combination of the three methods listed above, earnings can accumulate at a fairly decent pace. To provide additional income opportunities, they also have a paid to join section. There are offers that reward you from around $0.25 to $5.00 for joining certain programs. These offers can vary from singing up for surveys, information requests on products, or signing up for trial services with companies like Blockbuster. Most of these signups are free but some do require a credit card as only the trial period is free. You can cancel these programs prior to the end of the free trial period and still retain your earnings if you find that the service is not worthwhile for you to keep. This is a huge earnings opportunity if you actively pursue these opportunities. They do not have as many offers as InboxDollars and I would recommend using InboxDollars first if they have the same offer.

In my opinion, this site is not very easy to navigate as it can be cluttered and a little confusing. But once you are used to it, you will have not problems. One common question is about the login page. Once you click on the members login page, you need to scroll about ¾ of the way down to find the username and password entry boxes. This will take you to your account. Any paid messages in your internal mailbox will be linked at the top of this page. A link to your current earnings is about half way down the page.

Membership - International
Pay per click - $0.02 or 2 points
Click timer – approximately 20 seconds
Minimum payout - $50 on first payout, $15 thereafter
Payout method - Check
Multiple Accounts per household – Yes but must e-mail admin for permission
Referral pay – $0.01 and 25% of point earnings on first and second level referrals

Premium benefits – free referrals

Premier Gold - guaranteed 40 referrals in first 90 days, extra paid e-mails, $30 min. payout.

Referral Packages – None, see premium accounts

My Rating – 0 (scale of 1(poor) to 10 (excellent))

InboxDollars Review


I have really enjoyed my experience with InboxDollars. This program has many opportunities to make additional income even if you do not gain a lot of referrals. It is included in this section because one of it’s many programs is a paid to read program. InboxDollars sends out a good amount of paid e-mails. Each e-mail contains a clickable link that will give you credit for reading the e-mail. The earnings per e-mail are not exceptionally high but due to the steady flow of e-mails the earnings can add up fairly quickly.
There are quite a number of other opportunities to earn with InboxDollars. One of these is the paid to join section. There are a large number of offers that reward you from around $0.25 to $15.00 for joining certain programs. These offers can vary from singing up for surveys, information requests on products, or signing up for trial services with companies like Blockbuster. Most of these signups are free but some do require a credit card as only the trial period is free. You can cancel these programs prior to the end of the free trial period and still retain your earnings if you find that the service is not worthwhile for you to keep. This is a huge earnings opportunity if you actively pursue these opportunities. You can easily earn $50 or more in an evening. I find that InboxDollars pays better and in a more timely manner than most others offering this type of program.
InboxDollars also offers paid surveys with earnings that are added to your account. The earnings per survey vary but they seem to be inline with the earnings from most survey sites and they are frequently available. Another benefit of completing your surveys through InboxDollars is that your survey earnings are added to your InboxDollars account along with your earnings from all of the other earning methods. That way you earn your payout amount a lot quicker. You will even receive earnings on your profile surveys.
Another great opportunity with InboxDollars is the paid to shop section. If you ever purchase items on the internet from retails like Overstock.com, Old Navy and many more, you can earn cash back by visiting them through InboxDollars. Your link through InboxDollars takes you to the regular website so you pay the same amount that you normally would but you earn cash back to your account when you make a purchase. The amount going back to your account usually varies from 0.5% to 5.0% of your purchase. If you are planning on purchasing something, why not get paid to do it. Once again, earnings from paid to shop are added to your regular InboxDollars accounts making payout minimums a lot quicker to reach.
InboxDollars also offers a paid games section. I have not personally participated in this section so I do not have a lot of experience with it. If online gaming is something that you enjoy then once again why not make some earning off from it. If you have participated in this then please post a comment and share your experiences with everyone.
The minimum payout for InboxDollars is moderately high at $30 on the initial payment. This is relatively easy to obtain by participating in the various aspects of this program. You can hit the $30 by working the paid to join offers in one night alone ( it does take a couple of days for these to credit to your account ). They do give you a $5 credit to your account when you join so you really only need to earn $25 to your account to get to the $30 payout. Once you reach payout, they mail you a check on the first of the 2nd month you requested payment (example you request payment of 22 January, your check will mail 1 March). It may seem like a long time but it is always less than 2 months and they pay exactly when they say they will.
At first glance the referral and upgrade programs do not seem that great, but they are actually much more than what they seem. You earn 10% on all qualified earnings for first level referrals. These qualified earnings are include the paid to join offers, paid surveys excluding the profile surveys, paid shopping earnings, and paid games earnings. There are no referral earnings on paid e-mails, the sign-up bonus and profile surveys. You can see how the referral earnings can add up with the example: if a referral completes a $15 paid to join offer, a $2 survey and a $100 purchase from a 3% paid to shop in a night, you would receive $2 ($1.50 from paid to join, $0.20 from the survey and $0.30 from paid to shop). The upgrade program is great considering the price. It is free after your first $30 payout. With your free upgrade you will be put in a pool to get free referrals, you will have a lower payout amount ($15) and you will be eligible for exclusive offers. I would highly recommend this as a starter program for anyone.

PaidMails Review


This is a paid to read/paid to click where you can get the messages delivered either to your e-mail account or to an internal site mailbox. All messages that I have received as of this time have been $0.005 value messages. Initially, I have not received very many messages and the links expire very quickly. The site is easy to navigate. Paid mails also has a traffic exchange type program that I will review separately. They do have a nice minimum payout but they do not offer any real income opportunity.

Take the Internet Back Review



Take the Internet Back is an interesting Paid to Click / Paid to Read. The idea is that it is a revenue sharing program where 90% of ad revenue is sent back to membership (45% reinvested in program/45% paid out). The program is exceptionally easy to use with some e-mails sent to your e-mail account. On these e-mails you just click on a link to receive a one point credit. There are also links in your TIB account inbox with a short timer that will earn you points. There is not much in the way of earnings from referrals as you only get 3 points when you refer someone and 1 additional point when they refer someone else.

One interesting item is that they do require that you have at least two referrals before requesting a pay out. They also give you a $10 bonus for signing up with the program. The e-mails and inbox ads are fairly plentiful and the program may make a very nice addition is the point conversion and point payout works out well. The good points to this program are the plentiful ads and the ease of use. The negatives are the relatively high payouts and the 2 referral requirements. Those two negatives are too much to overcome and I can not recommend this program as it will take a long time to gain any earnings.

GainPay Review

gainpay


Gainpay is a combination of Paid to Click and Paid to Read. The Paid to Read e-mails go both to your inbox and to an internal inbox. The links from the e-mails that I have received have had a pretty low pay. There are usually a lot of links in the paid to click section of the site but these pay in points and not cash. Unfortunately the points do not seem to convert. Any comments on this would be helpful. The basic low availability of ads and earnings opportunity has made me give this a lower rating.

Basic Price - Free
Pay per Click - varies most I have received are $0.0025 to $0.005
Click timer - varies
Minimum Payout - $1.00
Payout Method - PayPal or AlertPay

DailyClicks Review




This program does not appear to be paying at this time and is therefore rated a 0.

DailyClicks is a very straight forward paid to click site. You log on to your member site, go to the ads and click away. The best part of DailyClicks is that there are always plenty of ads to click. The premium account is not that expensive and gives pretty straight forward benefits. Unfortunately, they suffer from the big problem of not paying their members in a timely manner. Therefore I would definitely avoid.

Basic Price - Free
Members - International
Pay per Click - $0.01
Click timer - 30 seconds
Minimum Payout - $10.00

EasyAdBucksReview

EasyAdBucks

EasyAdBucks is a fairly straight forward combination of paid to click and paid to read. They send you e-mails with links that credit your account when clicked. They also offer paid to click links when you sign on. The design is nice and easy to understand but there does not seem to be much click opportunities. Most e-mail links that I received were expired even when checked the same day as the e-mail was sent. There just did not seem to be much opportunity to accumulate earnings.

ClixSense Review



ClixSense is a PTC site that has a different type of referral/premium program. Once you sign up, you can log on and view the advertising through their website. The actual program is very straight forward. The premium program is very reasonably priced. The main issue with the program is that there is very little opportunity through clicks or referrals at the free level. My feeling on this program is that it is worthwhile at the premium level but is difficult at the free level. There is also a fee to get the payment check which cuts into your earnings a little. Once again a solid program that has been paying for a long time but it could use some updating.

AdCash Review



AdCash is a PTC site that makes a fairly standard offering. Once you sign up, you can log on and view the advertising through their website. The pay per click is relatively low.

HTMail Review


HTMail is an interesting combination of paid e-mail and PTC program. It pays very well for the actions that you take. When you sign up you receive e-mails from them. Each e-mail contains a link that you click on that will generate the advertisers website and a feedback form. You look at the website and return the feedback form and you receive credit for viewing. It takes a little more time than most of the other PTCs but you earn 10 times as much as you do on most of the other programs. The payout is a little high but your earning accumulate fairly rapidly for the amount of time that you invest. The referral earnings are great.

Unfortunately there seems to be very few ads coming from HTMail at this time. The paid e-mails seem to come in waves so you can pick up a lot quickly. I would still recommend joining as it does not take up any of your time if you are not earning. If a paid mail comes to you then fill out the feedback form, if not then you do not have to worry about it. If the number of ads was to pick up, the rating will increase significantly.

DealsnCash Review


Dealsncash is a great program for those that are just starting out. There is a $5.00 bonus for just signing up. There is a high ($0.02) paid per click. Usually, they provide a good amount of ads that you can click on. The only drawback is the fairly high payout amount of $30.00 but they have at times in the past paid out at lesser amounts across the board. You receive e-mail notification when there are ads posted to your internal mailbox. You just sign in to their site and view your ads and receive credit. It is a simple and clean system. Currently there is no premium accounts or paid referral packages but the accumulation of money on the simple clicks is impressive.

The high payout prevents this site from moving to a higher position. This is attainable if they are at the number of ad views they were at in mid 2008 with over 5 ads per day but they have not met that at yet. It is still worth the effort as it is totally free.

Adbux Review

Adbux seems like a very nice program. It has a nice payment amount per click and a good premium program. They also offer a lot of paid offers on their sites that can supplement your income. The major problem that I have with Adbux at this time is that they are not currently getting a lot of available clicks. Without the clicks it is difficult to accumulate any income or retain referrals.

Matrixmails Review

MatrixMails - Get paid


Matrixmails is a very interesting hybrid of paid to click and paid to read programs. For the paid to click section, you just log into your account, click on paid to click from the menu on the left, click on the ad, wait for the timer to run down and you earn. For the paid to read, log in to your account, click on the paid to read link form the menu on the left, log-in to your mailbox, read the e-mail, click the link and receive your credit. By using both of these methods you can accumulate a decent amount of earnings at a fairly rapid pace.

You can greatly enhance your earnings by using a few of their other earnings methods. They offer a pretty good paid to join section. In this section, you get paid to take different offers. You can get paid from $0.20 to $100 per offer to join. Some of these offers are free like survey groups and some you need a credit card and you must pay to join. Take a look at these and you will find quite a few that you can earn from for free. Some of the other earning methods are the paid to write section where they will pay you to write internet articles, and the paid to play section where you can earn from playing online games.

Matrixmails also has a matrix program where you can put money into a matrix and earn as you cycle through it. I am not a big fan of any of the matrix programs and I would suggest that you avoid that aspect of the program. There are plenty of ways to earn with this program without using this part of the program.

The payout for Matrixmails is very low and easy to achieve and the payments arrive very quickly. The program has been up and running for six years so I think they are very trustworthy. They also offer a few additional bonuses being that they will credit your account with $0.20 when you achieve $2 in personal clickthrus and a $1 bonus when you achieve $4 in personal clickthrus. So for every $4 in clicks, you actually get $5.20 so this actually raises your pay per click by over 25%.

I used this program as a feeder for my other programs. I clicked and used offers to accumulate the earnings to buy the lifetime gold upgrade. This gave me a lot of extra pay from ads and I then used the money earned to fund upgrades and referrals in other programs. Very nice program for ease of use and payout rate.

LinkGrand Review





LinkGrand is a paid to click program that has an extremely low minimum payout. They do not pay a lot per ad viewed but they do provide clicks everyday. They pay out quickly and balances can build up at a decent pace. I like the availability of clicks but the pay per click is low and the referral pay is not great. I tried this program for a couple of months but could not accumulate much for earnings. Not horrible but I would concentrate on other programs first.

Pay per click - $0.003

Click timer – 20 second timer

TitanClicks Review




TitanClicks is a paid to click program created in the same style Advercash. When you sign in, the program will automatically take you to the paid ad links. Simply click on the links and the ad will open in a new tab. Once the timer runs down, you will receive a $ sign on the top showing that you received credit. Unfortunately there are not a lot of clicks and the pay per click is usually quite low. If this site paid a little more per click and had more ads available, it would rate an 8 or a 9. A solid program all around but it is difficult to accumulate substantial earnings with the pay per click they offer.

How Paid to Clicks/Paid to Read Programs Work

What is a Paid to Click (PTC) and a Paid to Read (PTR) program?

A good way to start out online is to work the Paid to Click (PTC) and the Paid to Read (PTR) sites. These sites are free to join and offer an opportunity to build up a little start up money for other online ventures. Like all the other online opportunities, you can really start to make larger payouts if you develop a downline but unlike most it is not a necessity to get a payout. A PTC opportunity is one that you click on advertisements and get paid to view them. You join up with a program and sign into their website to view the advertisements. Once you sign in, you are given a listing of available advertisements that you can view. When you click on one of these advertisements, a web page will open usually with a timer on it. Once the timer runs down you will usually have to click on a link to receive your credit for viewing the website. These advertisements will usually pay between $0.001 to $0.05 per advertisement viewed. A PTR opportunity is one that you get paid to receive e-mails to read. These e-mails usually have links in them that you have to follow in order to receive credit for reading the e-mails. They may also have timers with them in order to receive credit. These programs usually pay between $0.005 and $0.10 per e-mail read.

Why would they pay me?

Advertisers are always looking for a cheap and effective way to get their message in front of potential customers. These advertisers pay the PTC/PTR programs for visitors to their websites. The PTR/PTC programs give a portion of their revenue to you as an incentive for you to visit the advertiser websites. So it is not a something for nothing scheme. You get a small amount of money in exchange for visiting each website the PTR/PTC directs you to. The PTC/PTR gets advertising revenue in exchange for directing traffic to advertiser websites. The advertiser gets potential customers viewing their products in exchange for paying the PTC/PTR programs. It is a perfectly legitimate method of making money and advertising.

How much money can I earn?

You are not going to get rich quick using the PTC/PTR programs. Remember, you are going to earn a few cents per click or e-mail maximum. Any program that is promising you 20 cents, $1 or more per click or e-mail is more than likely a scam. The strategy to making money with these sites is to join in multiple programs and to earn a little bit from each of them each day. I would recommend that you find 10 to 20 programs that you really like and earn money from all of them. It is easy work to do but it does take some time. I will often sit in my living room after the kids are asleep and check out my PTCs/PTRs with the TV running in the background. If the phone rings or the kids need something, I can walk away from my computer then come back and pick up right where I left off. Almost all of these programs offer upgrades and referral earnings to supplement your income. Upgrades vary in price and benefits but they usually give you additional earnings per click or e-mail and additional earnings on referral clicks or e-mails read. The upgrades will many times give you some free referrals and access to additional click or e-mail opportunities. To determine if the upgrade is worthwhile for you need to compare the cost of the upgrade to the additional earnings that you will make over the lifetime of the upgrade. If you plan on remaining active in the program and pursuing your online income it is often worth it to upgrade in your favorite PTCs/PTRs. The referrals can really make the difference in your earnings from these programs. Most of them pay you for the clicks or e-mails read by the people that you refer to the program. Some even pay you for multiple levels of referral earnings (the people that you referred and the people that they then referred and so on for multiple levels) but each one has specific rules for this. An example of this would be:

You click on 20 PTC links in a day at $0.01 per click = $0.20 in earnings
You have 20 referrals that click the same links = $4.00 in earnings
Total per day for that program = $4.20
You repeat this with 10 PTC/PTR programs = $42.00 per day
Approximately $1,260.00 per month
Approximately $15,120.00 per year
Repeat with 10 programs total = $151,200 per year

Remember, this is just an example and is not as hard or as easy as it may sound. I have not achieved this level of income yet but I have made some great supplemental income through online programs so I know it is possible. It will require a little work but 20 referrals are not hard to get. Your referrals will come and go and you will need to continue to generate them in order to maintain your levels. But, if you can generate more referrals in all of your programs than you can see your earnings grow even more.

What should I have to get started?



​​​​​ There are a couple of tools that I would highly recommend before you get ​ ​started on your PTC/PTR programs. The first thing that I would recommend ​ ​is a web browser with good pop up blocking capabilities. A lot of the sites ​ ​that the PTCs/PTRs will bring up have a lot of pop ups and without this you ​ ​will have little web pages all over the place. My favorite browser is Mozilla ​ ​Firefox. This is one of the most popular web browsers out there and it is ​ ​absolutely free. You can download it ​​​​​​​​​​here​​​​​​​​​​.​
​I would also recommend that you have up to date virus protection and ​ ​spyware protection on your computer. This will help prevent any nasty ​ ​surprises out there for your computer. There are a few good ones out there ​ ​for free but I would recommend AVG for virus protection and Ad-Aware for ​ ​spyware. They are both free to download. You can download AVG ​
​​
​​​​​​​here​​​​​​​​​​ and ​ ​Ad-Aware ​​​​​​​​​​here​​​​​​​​​​.​
​ Another important thing is that you set up separate e-mail accounts for your ​ ​PTCs/PTRs. You will receive e-mails from them and it is much easier to ​ ​have them going to a separate inbox other than your personal one. There are ​ ​many free e-mail servers out there that allow for multiple e-mail accounts but ​ ​I would currently recommend Google’s g-mail which you can get for free ​
​​
​​​​​​​here​​​​​​​​​​.​
​One of the most important things that you will probably need is an alertpay ​ ​account. Most programs pay you by paypal, check or alertpay. Alertpay is a ​ ​very common pay program for them. It is similar to paypal and I have had ​ ​good experiences with them. Most programs will ask for your alertpay e-mail ​ ​address for payment when you sign up. You should create your free account ​ ​​
​​
​​​​​​​here​​​​​​​​​​.​ ​​​​​​




​​​​​​​​​​​​​​How can I build my referrals?​ ​​​​​​​​

​​​​​ Remember, the PTC/PTR programs will pay you even if you do not have ​ ​referrals, but the referrals will really boost your earnings. It is not that difficult to ​ ​build up referrals for your PTC/PTR programs. There are two main ways that ​ ​you can build up your referrals. You can advertise your PTC/PTR programs to ​ ​attract people to them or you can purchase the referrals from the PTC/PTR ​ ​program itself. I go into a number of different ways to build and maintain a ​ ​downline on my ​​​​​
​​​​​Online 101 page​​​​​​​​​​.​
​ I think that advertising your program for others is a great way of building up ​ ​your referrals. You can spend a lot of money on this or you can do it at ​ ​absolutely no cost. If you want to generate sign ups and are not worried about ​ ​the cost then you can use services like Google ad words or Yahoo Sponsored ​ ​Search. These services create the advertisement links on Google and Yahoo ​ ​search pages. I am not going to cover this too much at this time because it ​ ​can be very expensive and usually isn’t the best way to start out. You can find ​ ​out more about this in my ​
​​
​​​​​​​Online 101 page​​​​​​​​​​. ​
​ Another less expensive form of paid advertising is to use the actual ​ ​PTC/PTR services to advertise. There is nothing at all wrong with advertising ​ ​one of your PTC/PTR programs through the services of another PTC/PTR ​ ​program. Each one of the programs will give you a referral page which you ​ ​can then pay to submit to the other sites. You can usually use your earnings to ​ ​buy this type of advertising.​
​ There are also a number of free ways to advertise your PTC/PTR ​ ​opportunities. First of all, tell your family and friends about what you are doing. ​ ​Many people are embarrassed to do this for some reason but you should not ​ ​be. Let them know about it, you would be surprised to find out how many ​ ​people would like to make some extra income from home. Many of the ​ ​programs will allow your spouse or another member of your household join as ​ ​long as they use a separate computer with a separate e-mail account (Please ​ ​check each program for their rules on this as some will kick you out for doing ​ ​this while others have no problem with it). ​
​ Another free method to advertise is to use the traffic exchange programs. ​ ​These are similar to the PTC programs, but instead of earning cash for ​ ​viewing websites you earn traffic to your websites. For example, many of them ​ ​are set up so that for every two websites that you view they send one visitor to ​ ​your website. Unlike PTC/PTR programs you do not need to build up a ​ ​balance before you get the reward. They will usually start sending you traffic ​ ​on your fist day. For more information, please visit my ​
​​
​​​​​​​Traffic Exchanges ​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​page.​​​​​​​​​​ This is a good time to mention that before you start advertising, you ​ ​should always click through your referral page to ensure that your account is ​ ​showing up as the referrer on the sign up page.​
​ You can also quickly generate referrals by purchasing referral packages ​ ​from the PTC/PTR programs. The programs sell off what they call unreferred ​ ​signups. These are people that signed up for the programs but did not have a ​ ​sponsor. Sometimes you can get a good deal on these and it is very quick ​ ​way to build up your referrals. The prices on these vary so always do a ​ ​reasonable cost/benefit analysis on these before purchasing.​ ​​

Hits4Pay Review



Hits4Pay is a great program for those that are just starting out. It is made by the same people who made DealsnCash. There is a $10.00 bonus for just signing up. There is a high ($0.02) paid per click. Usually, they provide a good amount of ads that you can click on. The only drawback is the fairly high payout amount of $25.00 but you get the $10 when you first sign up. You receive e-mail notification when there are ads posted to your internal mailbox. You just sign in to their site and view your ads and receive credit. It is a simple and clean system. Currently there is no premium accounts or paid referral packages but the accumulation of money on the simple clicks is impressive.

Payouts occur automatically on the 1st of the month once you have reached your minimum payout. You will see your account go to zero at that time and the payment is processed on the 15th or 16th of that month. Make sure that your personal information is up to date so that you receive your payment. While the program does not have a forum, the support staff will answer all of your questions promptly. Overall, a very solid program with two levels of earning and a great personal click pay rate.

Bux.to Review



Important update: Bux.to has continuously pushed back their script upgrade which is supposed to speed up payments. Until they can fix this I am placing them in the under review category. I will update as information becomes available.

Bux.to was always one of my favorite paid to click sites. It has a simple format but is easy to use and your earnings add up quickly. The number of available clicks is great. Just sign in, click the ads and start accumulating earnings. There are a lot of links every day. You and your referrals will really enjoy your experience with Bux.to.

The recent problem with Bux.to is that their payments have slowed down incredibly. They state that their payment speed will increase rapidly as they are working towards releasing a new programming script for the site. I know that they have purchased a payment site that they may be implementing to process their own payments and have launched a new design site. I have always had good luck with Bux.to and I believe that they will sort the payment speed problem out. If payments return to the proper levels this program will immediately move back into one of the top spots.

At this point, I believe that Bux.to is definitely worth joining due to its long history of excellence. Until the payment situation is sorted out, I would not invest in the site beyond your own personal clicks. I will keep this updated on the payment situation and adjust the rating accordingly.

AdverCash Review



Advercash is a decent Paid to Click (PTC) site that unfortunately offers a very low pay per click rate. They provide a steady flow of ads to click. They pay between $0.005 and $0.015 per click with usually a 30 second timer but most are at the lower payrate. You receive 100% on your referral clicks (if your referral receives $0.01 for a click you receive the same). They pay via check and Alertpay. They require a minimum balance of $12.50 to cash out. They have a great forum site that is good for information about the program. Advercash also gives you a lottery ticket for every 20 clicks you make. You can use the lottery ticket to enter for a chance to win cash prizes. Advercash also has an offers page where you earn cash for signing up for offers. Many of these are free to sign up for and this can be a great source of additional income. You are allowed to only have one account per IP address, so do not try to set up multiple accounts because you will get banned.
