Can you Detect a Useless Paid to click Website?Written by Abdulrehman on June 5th, 2008
The first time I heard of paid to click websites was about the start of ‘07 and I really liked the idea. Unfortunately the websites I found were one of the worst on the Net. Unorganized and mismanaged, they could not even track my earnings properly, I do not want to mention their name here. At times I clicked about 8 ads whereas it showed that I had clicked only 2. Moreover, it paid me less than $0.005 per click. When I got sick of it, I thought all of these are a scam. Such websites have been designed to make sure that people keep on clicking ads, advertisers pay them and when you’ll reach payout which will be very high, they will suspend your account.
That’s when I left them as I saw in near about 2 months I had only made less than $5 (including referral earnings), which is pure wastage of time. However, soon after this I heard of a good website, Adbux. Adbux was perhaps the first website which gave me confidence in paid to click websites, probably because of its high pay rate and lot minimum to cash out. Thats when I began on my hunt on differentiating good PTC websites from bad. I joined about more than 40 websites, but this time it was not for earning money. This was more like a research on which website are worth joining and they could help me earn.While searching for the genuine paid to click websites I developed some rules for checking them.
Word of mouth and Payment proof
Remember while searching for good paid to click websites that if you personally know someone and has a genuine proof for it to be be legit, then it has just passed the first test. When you visit a website it is very good if it has proofs of payments, however also search the internet for duplicates as it might be fake.
Look for satisfied customers
It will not charge you money if you just search on some search engine for the website and just tune into some blogs and see what others have to say about it. People will have negative and positive comments about it. Compare them with your personal analogy and only then move on.
Minimum number of Ads
Now, you are not joining a paid to click website just for fun. You’re in it to earn money, so just check how many ads they have per day. If the ads are less than 8 during the whole day, then it is worthless, because in that case it cannot help you to earn a lot of money. However, there are websites like adbux which display new ads after sometime and may not display all at once. Even if you do not have the time to login frequently to click ads, your referrals might be available to click them, so thats ok and you can move on.
Technical Problems
This is a very big test for the paid to click website. Always remember that good paid to click websites do not go down frequently and always resolve their technical problems quickly. When a website starts showing technical problems frequently, then it is not away from telling you one day that the website has ended because of technical problems. Moreover, you do not have time to waste facing technical problems, it really is a problem for your earnings.
Reply from support
Support on all websites should reply in a maximum of 5 days, and if it does not reply at all then it is a guaranteed scam, take this as an expert’s advice and experience. There have been many websites to whom when I complained that there are no ads for several days, or why they had cancelled my payments for no reason, to this very day I have not received a reply. So make sure that the support replies fast and is effecient. Do not ignore it if they do not reply.
Payment per click
Always look for websites who pay $0.01 or $0.02 per click. $0.005 per click is also fine, but only if there are abundant ads throughout the day. Websites which pay more than $1 per click are scams that even a little kid could point out. think for a second, no one can be dumb enough to pay you $100 for viewing a website. However, websites like clixsense where payments per click have different ranges do display ads worth $0.1 or more. just see that the website should enable you to earn atleast $0.15 per day and if they payment per click is below $0.005 and can still help you earn $0.15 a day, join it if you have enough time to click so many ads.
Referrals earnings rate
This is very important as it is basically because of this rate that you actually make the real money, your own clicks are just to keep the circle running. the website should pay you a minimum of 50% of your referral earnings, however 100% referral earnings are the best. This will help you understand the importance of referral rate, in each example suppose you have 50 referrals, earnings are based on daily basis:
- 100% referral rate : 50 x 0.15 = $7.5
- 50% referral rate : 50 x 0.075 = $3.75
So you can just think that how referral rates can effect your daily earnings. So the more the referral rate the better the website is. Like this websites with 10% referral rate will only earn you $0.75 of your 50 referrals, whom you spent so long in referring.
Some more considerations are that the website should have a domain name, or it can be there to swap your earnings and steal your login and passwords for other websites. Also the minimum cash out rate should be $15. No more than that and that is the maximum for it. Keep these things in mind and hopefully you’ll be able to differentiate worthless PTC websites from good ones.
