Paid to click sites are just that, you get paid to click on links. This sounds very easy, but when it comes down to it paid to click sites are just a pain. Most of these sites however aren't scams, and will allow you to actually reach their minimum payout, but this can be a very time consuming process. You need to log on everyday and click on whatever links they have posted. These links are usually only worth 1 penny, but they make you feel good because they will give you a bunch of them to start with. My question is, is all this clicking actually worth the eventual reward?

Paid to click sites are usually legit. There are a few out there that are only there to get you to click their links for them to make them money, and then they never pay you. That is what these sites are all about. They get you to click links for them that make them money. Every link that you click equals money paid to the provider of the link. This amount is usually quite a bit more than 1 penny, but that is all these sites are usually willing to give up. Some sites even offer you a sign up bonus, to get you going in the right direction. One site that I know of gives you 10 dollars just to sign up, but their minimum is 25 dollars, and they don't supply you with a lot of clicks.

Now back to my question of whether or not these sites are actually worth your time. The answer is, that it is your preference. There are many sites out there that can be vouched for, so you know your going to get paid. The only problem is are you willing to devote quite a bit of time to clicking these links. Now if you surf the web for countless hours a day then these types of sites would be great for you. You could click on a link, and then surf the web as you are credited for the click. However if you are someone that doesn't devote a lot of time to the internet, but are looking for a little extra income, paid to click sites just aren't it. They will provide you with a little income, but they get very boring and almost annoying, and you will lose interest fast if you are not normally on the web.

Paid to click sites should be known as pain to click sites. Many of these sites will actually pay you; the only problem is you have to actually make it to a point for them to pay you. This amount can sometimes seem impossible to reach as you will only be clicking for pennies, and sometimes you will not even be provided with clicks. If you are someone who spends a lot of time on the net then these might be for you. Likewise if you are not normally on the computer I wouldn't recommend paid to click sites.
