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 You can have it directly withdrawn from your account balance.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

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.
