I often get asked, what are these programs you have me signing up for? How does it benefit me? How do I earn money with them?
Pay to Click programs are programs that pay you usually between $ 0.005 to $0.0135 for clicking a link and viewing an advertisers website for 30 sec.
Each Pay to Click websites has its subtleties but for the most part they follow this pattern.
Membership
When you first sign up for a pay to click program, you begin as a standard member. Standard members are paid the lowest amount per click usually only half a cent. You also are limited to the number of ads you can view (somewhere between 6-8). It is hard to make any good earnings this way.
The PTC site will offer a better membership packages (generally called gold members).
Gold members are served more links to click daily and they earn between 1 cent and 1.5 cents a click.
Referrals
The next part of this game is building referrals. There are always two types of referrals in every PTC but some bunch their earnings together and other separate the two.
Direct referrals are referral that you know such as friends or family, or folks you get to sign up using your referral banners and links. This is often done by blogging about programs or using forum signature links.
Buying referrals (or now renting referrals) is another way to gain an army of clickers underneath you. The idea here is that a number of people sign up for the program unreferred by anyone and so when you purchase a referral pack, the PTC program assigns these referral to you as if you referred them.
Generally, the membership rules apply to referrals also. Less money per click for standard and more money per click for golden memberships.
Getting Paid
All PTCs require some sort of minimum before you cashout. This could be anywhere from $2.00 to $20.00.
Depending on the program this can be an instant process or a 3 month process. It is wise to investigate the forums of the programs to see if there is any payment complaints.
Paypal usually does not support PTC programs so you will need an Alertpay account.
Scams
PTC has a bad reputation of being a scam industry. I website can easily be set up, have fake advertiser websites on our viewing page, begin to collect money and then disappear.
PTC sites also run out of money. They may have good intentions but they end up having to put up their own advertisements to provide links for people to click and never get the advertiser base they need to support the programs. In this case, the PTC become a ponzi in that they are paying what they owe out of the membership upgrades and not advertising revenue.
That being said there are some good , legitmate PTCs out there. And if you are lucky enough to find one. Stick with it. It’s extra cash.

I have been really in to looking at free advertising programs to draw traffic to my websites and other cash making programs.
Basically, so far I have discovered that absolutely free advertising falls in to two categories:
1) Ad Surfing
2) Ad Trading
Even if you are not interested in the income making potential of website / ad surfing programs. You can stil enjoy the benefits of free advertising. To be honest I try to keep the advertising as my focus and if I make a few bucks GREAT!
Ad Surfing
Currently I am getting some good results from these two:
TrustyPig - Smart Advertising System
The important thing here is to not worry about your earnings. That costs money. There are ways in each program to run your websites and ads without spending a dime!
Ad Trading Programs
Another way to get free traffic and advertising is to use Ad Trading Programs. Most of the are not compatible with Google Adsense but as most of you know, once you start affiliate marketing, who care about Google Adsense.
Here is the one I am currently testing

One of the most innovative features of Neobux is the opportunity to rent, renew and recycle referrals.
You do not buy referrals, you rent them for one month. If they go inactive (stop clicking) you can recycle them. If you wish to keep them at the end of the month, you can renew them.
Because of these wonderful feature and Neobux’s promise to only release active referrals (those that have already clicked for a few days), it has been hard to rent referrals.
Why might you ask?
Well Neobux had to disperse the active referrals in order to handle the recycling and renewing orders as well as provide members the opportunity to rent new referrals at 05:00 and 17:00 server time.
This caused the server to lag many times and many members left with a short stick.
That is NO MORE!
Neobux releases a new system today where you can choose two times in which you may attempt to rent referrals.
This will disperse the server load by a factor of 12.
It will also allow people to rent at more normal times (it previously was 5 am and 5 pm for me). Either I was asleep or at work.
I can happily say I was able to rent 100 refs tonight with absolutely no trouble!
Great Job Neobux!

So I stumbled across an interesting Paid to Click site the other day.
It pays $1.00 or more a click!
I have no definitive data on it yet. But I did test its support system. The owner seemed very confident in the site. It is obviously profitable enought for him the fend off my fake attempts to buy it.
Support was answered within a week.
The site is 1dollarPTC.com.
Its minium cashout is $5,000 USD.
Sounds interesting right? I am about halfway to $5,000. Thanks to the great referral program, GetRef.com.
It makes sense, if I Paid to Click is an honest site, its business plan should work. So if you are gong to do this at 1 cent then you can do it at $1.
I will let you know my finding.
You can help speed up the process by signing up and clicking a few ads.

Earn.nu is a differnt type of Pay to Click site.
It has many innovative features that are different from Neobux and Bux.to
You are able to contact your downline very easily. You can trade money with your downlline.
You can convert your account balance into ads.
I will not say the program is a scam but it is very very poorly run.
If you look at their support forums you will see countless threads unanswered.
You will see referrals that have been paid for and not recieved.
Recently, they made an offer. If you converted part of your account balance to advertisement (100 clicks at least) then you would recieve one referral.
I personally took them up on this. I saw when my ad was approved. I watched my click count increase as my ad was being shown.
The next day, NO REFERRAL. When I asked on the forum they said “oh look your ad hasn’t been approved yet”. I look back at my Ad Tracker and sure enough there is sat, with 0 clicks used.
I was like WHAT!
My ad still has not ran. It just sites there. Nothing wrong with the ad. It is simply an ad for AdPackNetwork.
Even after several support request nothing.
So I will not say Earn.nu is a scam, but there are much better places you could waste your time.
